Cape Town · 4 nights
Begin in one of the world’s most beautiful cities, where Table Mountain rises above the sea. Choose your base: a clifftop hideaway away from the buzz of the city, or an intimate retreat in the heart of the city close to the Waterfront, each renowned for its luxurious accommodation and breathtaking views. Either way, expect slow mornings, sunset views, world-class wine, and celebrated dining, the perfect way to ease into honeymoon time.
Franschhoek · 2 nights
Two nights in the Franschhoek Valley, cradled between mountains and vineyards in one of the most scenic corners of the Western Cape. Spend your days as you please: the spa, a horse ride through the vines, a hike, or an afternoon among the valley’s museums and galleries, relaxation is all but inevitable. By night, some of the finest tables in the country, eight of South Africa’s Top 100 restaurants call this valley home, alongside one of the world’s Top 50. You will stay at an award-winning five-star boutique hotel, one of the most highly rated luxury hotels in historic Franschhoek.
Grootbos Private Nature Reserve · 3 nights
A scenic drive along the Cape Whale Route brings you to a private nature reserve where fynbos-covered hills meet the sea. Settle into a suite warmed by an open fireplace, with sunset champagne and candlelit baths drawn for two. By day, choose your own romance: horseback rides across the reserve, whale watching from the cliffs in season, or a botanical walk through ancient milkwood forest. By night, a couples’ spa treatment, a candlelit dinner under the stars, and nowhere else in the world you need to be.
Safari, Kruger National Park, Sabi Sand · 3 nights
End the honeymoon at Lion Sands Game Reserve, the only private reserve spanning both the Sabi Sand and Kruger National Park, set along miles of the Sabie River and one of the best places on earth to see leopard in the wild.

Game drives morning and evening in search of the Big Five, fine dining, and quiet moments on your deck as elephants pass below. The most luxurious final chapter we offer.
