Day 1
One night
Cape Town


Welcome to Cape Town. Your Luxury Escapes tour starts on arrival at Cape Town
International Airport (CPT) as you are guided by a local representative to a
private car that will transfer you to your luxury historic hotel located at the
foot of Table Mountain.

Step inside a world of timeless glamour at Mount Nelson, A Belmond Hotel – a
five-star oasis in the bustling heart of Cape Town. Fusing modern-day luxury
with tranquil indulgence, two nights at this hotel will have you ticking off a
bucket list destination in utter sophistication.

The evening is at your leisure to enjoy the beautiful grounds of your vibrant
hotel. Take the opportunity to enjoy one of the locally-produced wines on the
terrace overlooking the gardens, sample some of the finest cuisines the country
has to offer at one of the hotel's restaurants or ask your concierge to book you
into one of Cape Town’s hottest dining venues.

Cape Town & Table Mountain


After breakfast, enjoy a private guided tour of Cape Town city, including the
famous Table Mountain. Resting at the meeting point of the Indian and Atlantic
oceans, nestled between the slopes of Table Mountain and the glistening sapphire
waters of Table Bay, the exceptionally scenic city of Cape Town is in a class of
its own.

Some cities boast rich culture, vibrant nightlife, a cosmopolitan atmosphere and
extraordinary architecture, while others boast a breathtaking landscape and
spectacular natural wonders. Cape Town is lucky enough to be blessed with all of
the above and so much more. With your private guide, you’ll discover Cape Town’s
many local and historical sites.

Visit the wonderful Greenmarket Square, where you can see local artisans at work
selling their beautiful wares. Learn about the rich history, culture and
architecture of Cape Town as you walk through the peaceful Company’s Garden and
visit the Castle of Good Hope, Grand Parade and District Six Museum — a moving
memorial to the forced movement of 60,000 inhabitants of various races during
South Africa’s 1970s apartheid. Finally, marvel at the colourful houses and
cobbled streets of Bo-Kaap, formerly known as the Malay Quarter, and end your
morning with a cable car ride to the top of Table Mountain for stunning views of
the city (weather dependent). The rest of the afternoon is at your leisure to
explore this fascinating city on your own.

Please note: Table Mountain visit is weather dependent. Table Mountain is closed
to visitors between July – August 2023 for annual maintenance.

Day 7
One night
Johannesburg – Sabi Sands Game Reserve, Greater Kruger


This morning, you are transferred by private car to O.R. Tambo International
Airport (JNB). Enjoy exclusive lounge access before boarding your flight to
Skukuza. Skukuza acts as the gateway to the famous Sabi Sands Game Reserve — one
of the premier parks that make up Greater Kruger, an area of protected land to
the west of Kruger National Park.

Your home for the next three nights is the incredible Dulini — three beautiful
lodges of bespoke character nestled on the stunning banks of the Sand and Mabrak
River. All three properties, Dulini Moya, Dulini Leadwood and Dulini River, are
within close proximity of one another and offer unparalleled wildlife viewing.
It is not uncommon to spot elephants, leopards and other Big Five game animals
frequenting the trails through and beyond the camp. Enjoy the views from your
intimate suite – all equipped with private plunge pools and interiors that
epitomise romance, with canopies of mosquito nets and beautiful bathrooms.

Exquisite dining and an unmatched wine cellar, together with the best guides in
the Sabi Sands Game Reserve, make your experience at Dulini one you will not
soon forget.

Enjoy a sumptuous lunch before embarking on your first game drive this afternoon
in search of the Big Five. From the comfort of your luxuriously appointed
vehicle, you will have the perfect vantage point to experience the very best
that the Sabi Sands Game Reserve has to offer.

End this magical day with a special sundowners’ experience in the African bush.
Watch the sunset over the expansive plains before returning to camp for a lavish
dinner.

Breakfast, Lunch and Dinner
Day 8 & 9
Two nights
Sabi Sands Game Reserve


Over the next two days, be prepared to experience exceptional game viewing in
the hands of experts. Game drives are guided by professional and passionate
rangers and trackers who have a wealth of knowledge to unravel the intricate
nuances of the African bush. Many grew up in the area, and thus, their knowledge
of the environment is unrivalled. 10,000 hectares of pristine wilderness are
traversed in the comfort of six-seat open land rovers. With the teeming
biodiversity of the Sabi Sands Game Reserve and the skilled interpretation of
bush signs by astute Shangaan trackers, no two game drives are ever the same.
Trackers and rangers partner together to look for fresh animal tracks and
sensitively follow elusive animals into ravines and through the thicket to
ensure a vivid and exhilarating wildlife encounter.

The Dulini day begins at dawn. An early morning game drive ensures you catch the
tail end of the night exploits of nocturnal creatures. This essential two to
three-hour safari experience ends in a lavish breakfast back at camp. The option
of daily bush walks is also on offer, highlighting the aspects of nature you may
miss on a drive and exposing you to the energy and excitement of being immersed
in the striking surrounding environment.

An extended period of relaxation in the tranquillity of the Dulini setting
allows you to share bush tales, record memories in your safari journal, indulge
in the culinary temptations of our chef or simply unwind.

The excitement of the safari begins again after tea, when the intensity of the
African heat begins to subside. This game drive coincides with the close of
business for the daytime game and the emerging routines of nocturnal beasts on
the prowl. The excitement of each drive is interrupted by refreshment breaks to
accommodate any call of the wild and revitalize you with a sundown cocktail.

Inclusions
Dulini — either Dulini Moya, Dulini Leadwood or Dulini River
Breakfast, Lunch and Dinner
Day 10
Last day
Sabi Sands Game Reserve – Johannesburg


This morning, you have one last opportunity for a final game drive before you
are transferred to Skukuza Airport (SZK) for your included flight back to
Johannesburg (JNB), where your safari adventure comes to an end.

Highlights & inclusions
The following are included in your tour package:
Ride the Rovos Rail in lavish luxury


If you think you have experienced a luxury train journey, think again. Welcome
aboard the Rovos Rail, where you will be whisked from Cape Town to Pretoria in
sheer luxury. Think high teas, formal dinners boasting the finest local wines
and world-class cuisine, and impressive suites with air-conditioning, lavish
furnishings, opulent bathrooms and extra-special touches throughout.

Three nights of your incredible journey will be spent at the lavish Dulini –
three bespoke lodges nestled on a scenic riverbank in Sabi Sands Game Reserve –
part of the famous Greater Kruger National Park. The view of the valleys and
mountains, the enchanting sunrises and African sunsets and the variety of game
species that graze nearby create a serene ambience that makes the lodges at
Dulini a truly spectacular experience.

By day, embark on exhilarating game drives and spot elephants, lions, giraffes
and leopards. By night, unwind in your private, in-lodge plunge pool surrounded
by the lush landscape beyond. Rustic and sanded wooden decks open to an
expansive backdrop of the national park while sandstone bathrooms welcome you
with sunken bathtubs and romantic outdoor showers – it’s the perfect setting to
reconnect with nature.

Get up close and personal with South Africa’s wildlife


Your exhilarating tour will end on a high, at none other than the famed Greater
Kruger National Park. Base yourself in the conservation area of Sabi Sands Game
Reserve – located in the southwestern section of the park. Embark on game drives
led by expert local guides and trackers, who will share personal stories and
help you spot these elusive animals. Dubbed the ‘Big Five’ purely because they
are the five most difficult animals in Africa to seek out on foot, there’s
nothing more majestic than watching lions, leopards, rhinos, elephants and
buffalos in their natural habitat – it's an experience you will never forget.
