Focussing on the lesser visited northwest of South Africa we've combined two malaria-free safari reserves with the buzzing city of Cape Town, for the ultimate city and safari experience away from the crowds.
Why we love it
“Cape Town is not only one of the most beautiful cities in the world, but it’s also a melting pot of South Africa’s many cultures and home to an incredible culinary scene, along with its neighbouring Cape Winelands. We pair this with two malaria-free safari experiences: Madikwe Game Reserve, home to the famous wild dogs and where seasonal wetlands meet mist-tipped mountains, or head to the rugged, remote Waterberg region of Limpopo. for tranquil bush walks and boat trips These reserves are perfect if you’re sensitive to medication or travelling with a family (and are a lesser-known way to beat the safari crowds).”

Cape Town
With so much to see and do in Cape Town, the only debate is how many nights to spend there (we recommend at least 3). Stunning geography, wonderful hotels, great local produce, and an exceptional local food scene make this one of the world's most visited cities. International and domestic flights connect the city very well.
