Day 5 & 6 : Rovos Rail

Transfer to Cape Town Station in time for Rovos Rail. For many visitors to South Africa, there's no finer way to see the country than on the popular weekly journeys between Cape Town and Pretoria (or vice versa). From the coast, the 1600 kilometre route follows an old pioneering trail carved out of the African bushveld, passing through the winelands and climbing up to the interior through the Hex River Valley. Highlights of the north and southbound routes include visits to the historic village of Matjiesfontein, a 100-year-old refreshment stop in the arid Karoo, and Kimberley (city of De Beers), the diamond boom-town that's home to the Big Hole, the world's largest man-made excavation.

• Accommodation: Rovos Rail
• Meals: Fully Inclusive

Day 7: Pretoria

You will be collected from Rovos Rail Station after your arrival and transferred by road to the elegant Illyria House in Pretoria. Pretoria is the administrative capital of South Africa, with grand buildings with most of the foreign embassies located here, thus giving the whole city a dignified presence. Be pampered in the romantic ambience at the elegant Illyria House, surrounded by a collection of fine antiques and 17th century tapestries. With only six en suite double rooms, exceptional hospitality and cuisine are assured. The recently opened Aquarius Wellness Spa has a full time beautician on the premises.  Relax with the various personalized treatments available.

• Accommodation: Illyria House
• Meals: Breakfast

Day 8-10 : Phinda Private Game Reserve

After breakfast, you will be collected for your road transfer to Johannesburg International Airport to board your scheduled charter flight to Phinda Private Game Reserve in Kwazulu Natal’s Maputaland region for a unique safari experience.

Phinda nestles between the Ubombo Mountains in the west and the azure sweep of the Indian Ocean in the east. You will be welcomed to Phinda by your game ranger and transferred to the lodge of your choice. Phinda Adventures are an optional extra - your ranger will advise which of the adventures are best suited to your interests.
