Your Itinerary
3 nights in Cape Town
Arrive in beautiful Cape Town today – the home for the first three days of your luxury South African vacation. From Cape Town International Airport, you’ll enjoy a private transfer to the Cape Cadogan Boutique Hotel, situated in the leafy Gardens district of Cape Town’s City Bowl.
An easy walk, cab ride or taxi to top city spots, the Cape Cadogan is ideally placed for you to explore the Mother City. Wander around the V&A Waterfront for a bit of shopping, fine dining and entertainment, or head up the cable car to the top of Table Mountain for excellent views of the city and Peninsula. Head along the Atlantic Seaboard all the way to Hout Bay and enjoy spectacular views from famous Chapmans Peak.
From visiting penguins at Boulder’s Beach, to marveling at the ocean from the tip of Cape Point, there’s so much to do and explore in Cape Town. Head out to the Cape Winelands for a day’s wine tasting, or relax with a pampering spa treatment. It’s up to you.
DINING SUGGESTIONS
Discover the tastes of Cape Town, or allow the Cape Cadogan team to pack you a gourmet picnic to enjoy.
WHERE YOU'LL STAY
Cape Cadogan Boutique Hotel
This boutique Georgian-Victorian townhouse is suited in the leafy suburbs right in the heart of Cape Town. The Cape Cadogan is elegant, stylish and contemporary, full of charm and within walking distance of restaurants, galleries, bars and shopping. It’s the perfect luxury retreat with the city on your doorstep.
3 nights in Marakele Private Game Reserve
Leaving Cape Town today, you’ll make your way into the scenic Waterberg region of the Limpopo Province, which is situated in the far north of South Africa. You’ll enjoy the next three nights at Marataba Mountain Lodge, one of only two lodges in this pristine park.
Marakele is known for its sightings of the rare and endangered black rhino, as well as abundant birdlife which includes the world’s largest colony of Cape vultures. Be on the lookout for the rest of the Big 5 too, which you can enjoy on twice-daily game drives, after-breakfast bush walks, specialist walking trails and even a Miss Mara Water Safari cruise in the late afternoon.
This 21,000 hectare park has scenery in abundance, with breathtaking, pink-tipped mountain ranges, vast savannah plains and winding rivers.
DINING SUGGESTIONS
Enjoy delicious local produce, global flavours and a touch of the exotic at Marataba. Special dining moments – like pop-up bush picnics and pancake stops – are memorable.
WHERE YOU'LL STAY
Marataba Mountain Lodge
Situated in the heart of Marakele National Park in the Waterberg region of Limpopo, is Marataba Mountain Lodge. Scandi in style, solar-powered by design, the lodge evokes a unique feel, and is elevated by its luxury treehouse, exceptional mountain location, rock pool and access to the Big 5 including the rare black rhino.
