Day 1 - London/Cape Town

From London-Heathrow take an overnight flight with British Airways.

Day 2 - Cape Town

Arrive in Cape Town and check in to the Cape Grace Hotel. This is actually part of the Victoria & Alfred Waterfront, South Africa's most popular tourist attraction, where there are hundreds of shops and restaurants within easy strolling distance of your hotel. We can help you make arrangements of your own, including temporary membership to some of the world's finest golf courses.

Day 3 - Cape Town

A half day city tour introduces you to the city centre, with its museums and stately buildings set against the backdrop of Table Mountain. The afternoon is free to explore on your own, perhaps ascending Table Mountain by cable car.

Days 4 to 5 - Cape Town

Your car will be delivered to you in the morning. Two full days to explore the region. Take in the unspoilt countryside on the way to the indigenous fynbos of Cape Point Nature Reserve, the botanical gardens of Kirstenbosch and the fabled wineland towns of Paarl and Stellenbosch. Absorb the beautiful scenery and Cape Dutch architecture.

Day 6 - Cape Town/The Garden Route

A full day driving along this stunning coastline where rolling countryside meets rugged mountains and small towns dot your route. Your stylish home for the next three nights is Tsala Treetops Lodge.

Days 7 to 8 - The Garden Route

Two full days to explore at your own pace one of the most scenically beautiful areas in the country: rugged cliffs, sheltered bays, mountain passes and inland plains scattered with tiny settlements and an amazing variety of indigenous vegetation - perfect for journeys of discovery.

Day 9 - The Garden Route/Kruger

Drop your car at George airport for your flight to Johannesburg and then connect with a flight to Singita's private airstrip. This small and exclusive lodge combines the ultimate bush comforts in a stylish setting of extreme natural beauty. Fresh ingredients are flown in daily to ensure that delicious cuisine complements a refined bush atmosphere.

Days 10 to 11 - Kruger

Morning and afternoon game drives bring you close to this area's wonderful wildlife. This is perhaps one of the best places in the world to spot the 'Big Five' - lion, leopard, elephant, rhino and buffalo - but Singita's rangers are trained in all aspects of the natural world, and you'll be spotting plenty of the smaller game as well as wonderful birdlife. Evening game drives extend the experience well beyond nightfall. Whilst sundowners are unpacked from an icebox on your safari vehicle there is time to relax and marvel at the incredible African night sky.

Day 12 - Kruger/ London

After a game drive or a relaxed morning perhaps enjoying the spa facilities you will fly back to Johannesburg for your connecting flight to London-Heathrow.Mauritius ExtensionThe perfect finale to a South African adventure is a relaxing stay on the beach. Mauritius is the natural choice; a full range of water sports, from windsurfing to deep-sea fishing, the lush volcanic scenery and the warm smiles of the Mauritian people paint vivid colour into the landscape. Depart your hotel in the morning to catch a four hour flight from Johannesburg to Mauritius.
