As winter blankets the north, Africa preheats to unveil its signature summer safari.

1. Cape Town – The Appetiser of Every Summer Safari

Your journey begins in Cape Town, South Africa, where Table Mountain stands tall as an iconic centrepiece. This is where your palate is first teased, with the trendy allure of Clifton Beach, the colourful zest of Bo-Kaap, and so many more captivating canapés.

Where to Stay

Garnish your plate with Camissa House if you’re craving panoramic city views. Alternatively, if you prefer a more tangy take on Cape Town living, marinate in the colonial charm of the Cape Grace at the V&A Waterfront.

What to Experience

We suggest adding a private tour of the city and Cape Peninsula to really enhance the ambience of your adventure.

2. Cape Winelands – A Sophisticated Palate Cleanser

As your summer safari simmers, infuse it with the aromatic flavours of the Cape Winelands. A stone’s throw from Cape Town, Stellenbosch and Franschhoek are excellent pairings before diving into Africa’s wildlife-rich landscapes.

Amidst rolling vineyards, you’re spoiled for choice! Savour the scenic beauty of Spier Hotel, indulge in opulence at Delaire Graff Lodge and Spa, or revel in the historic farm setting of Babylonstoren.

What to Experience

In addition to wine tastings, layer your tantalising journey with Spier’s fully-catered picnics, the artistic nuances of Delaire Graff, and the tangy twist of Babylonstoren’s Olive Oil and Balsamic Vinegar Tour.
