SOUTH AFRICA’S

TIMELESS LUXURY

South Africa’s Wild Horizons

11 NIGHTS, CAPE TOWN, HERMANUS, GARDEN ROUTE, PLETTENBERG BAY & SHAMWARI PRIVATE GAME RESERVE

  • 3 nights at The Silo Hotel with a day tour of Cape Winelands
  • 2 nights in Hermanus with a whale-watching excursion
  • 1 night at Fancourt in George with a round of golf
  • 1 night at The Plettenberg with dinner at Amelia’s

South Africa’s southern coastline offers one of the country’s most rewarding journeys, and this tour links vibrant cities, dramatic shores and remarkable wildlife across 11 nights.

Begin with three nights at The Silo Hotel where a day tour through the Cape Winelands introduces celebrated estates, rolling vineyards and some of the region’s finest food and wine. Continue to Hermanus for two nights at The Marine, perfectly positioned above Walker Bay, complete with a whale-watching excursion.

A night at Fancourt in George follows, where one of the country’s renowned championship golf courses along the winding Garden Route awaits. The horizon takes centre stage once more with a night at The Plettenberg, where sunset cocktails overlooking the Indian Ocean naturally lead into dinner at Amelia’s.

The final chapter belongs to Shamwari Private Game Reserve. A private safari vehicle offers the flexibility to spend more time wherever the bush is at its most rewarding, whether that’s pausing beside a herd of elephants, following tracks with your guide or watching giraffes cross the plains at dusk. The perfect ending to an incredible trip.
