Undoubtedly South Africa’s most iconic game-viewing destination and Africa’s second-largest park, the Kruger National Park is spread across an impressive 2 million hectares of land in the far north-eastern corner of the country. See the Big 5, over 500 different bird species, and one of the continent's most celebrated wildlife havens.
Londolozi Pioneer Camp sets itself apart by exuding a deep African spirit while maintaining a style that speaks to refinement. The appeal of this Relais & Châteaux property is that everything about it is deeply personal – without detracting from its natural elegance.
Lion Sands River Lodge is a family-owned lodge tucked away in a Big 5 private reserve within the Sabi Sand Game Reserve, a predator-rich area adjacent to the Kruger National Park. Enjoy warm African hospitality along the banks of the Sabie River, the thrill of twice-daily game drives, or a night under the stars in a luxury tree house.
Sabi Sabi is synonymous with five-star safaris in Africa. Sabi Sabi Bush Lodge upholds this legacy with highly dedicated staff and a commitment to ensure you have a phenomenal stay. Famed for its warmth, vibrancy and legendary hospitality, this lodge effortlessly combines luxury with excellent game-viewing safaris.

Words frequently fail to capture the grandeur of Victoria Falls, but if you were to look for an apt description, you probably wouldn’t find better than its Kololo name ‘Mosi-oa-Tunya’, which roughly translates to ‘the smoke that thunders’. Spanning nearly two kilometres and dropping about 108 metres, this UNESCO Natural World Heritage Site is the largest waterfall in the world—thanks to the sheer volume of water cascading over its crags every minute.
With waterfront views of the mighty Zambezi River on a 300-acre family farm only 25km upstream from Victoria Falls, frequented by elephants in the dry season, Chundukwa River Lodge is the ideal location for guests to explore all this region has to offer before retreating to their tranquil and relaxed base.
Royal Chundu River Lodge stretches along the banks of the Zambezi River, just upstream from the mighty Victoria Falls. The Relais and Châteaux property embraces an ambience that is reflective of the Zambezi – both wild and graceful. Here you can explore the lifeblood of Victoria Falls, meet the people that live near the riverbanks, or simply recline on your river-front suite’s deck.
The last word in romance and remoteness lies on the banks of the Zambezi River at Tongabezi Lodge. The camp’s selection of riverside cottages and houses are tastefully designed with furniture and adornments from all over Africa. They also boast private terraces and infinity plunge pools while open-air sunken baths play host to full relaxation – with breathtaking river views.

Cape Town is a vibrant melting pot of colour, creativity and cuisine. With its flat, larger-than-life mountain harbouring white sandy beaches, bountiful vineyards and a bustling waterfront at its base, it's a destination made for unforgettable experiences.
On a private quay in the heart of the V&A Waterfront, the Cape Grace offers an unparalleled experience of Cape Town. A few steps out the front door will lead you to a spectacular view, a top restaurant or a memorable activity.

The gentle giants of the ocean emerge from its depths along the Whale Route. Thunderous claps echo toward the shoreline as southern right whales and humpback whales carry out courtship rituals and bear calves in sheltered bays. Dolphin species, cape fur seals and penguins also populate the area. The Whale Route is dripping with small-town charm as visitors stop by coastal hamlets while the heart of the route, Hermanus, also has numerous attractions.
Birkenhead House in Hermanus is a beach house that somehow manages to pull off five-star luxury. Its ideal location on a cliff top overlooking Walker Bay, Hermanus’ whale-watching hotspot, is arguably the best feature of this seaside retreat.
On the shores of the Hermanus Lagoon, the five lagoon lodges at Mosaic Lagoon Lodge promise a romantic and exclusive experience in their mountain-facing suites. Endless entertainment such as boat cruises and quad bike tours on site or day trips to Hermanus to whale watch and shark cage dive are available.
With ocean front views to observe the Southern Right Whales, and its location in the whimsical seaside town of Hermanus, The Marine Hotel is the perfect refuge after an exciting day exploring the area. Superb whale-watching opportunities in winter and Blue Flag status beaches in summer will leave visitors with an assortment of activities to keep themselves entertained.

For a countryside escape that doesn’t skimp on taste and luxury, head out of Cape Town for the nearby Cape Winelands. The terroir of these small towns and their surrounds have made them ideal for wine production, and many of the region’s wineries boast a history over 300 years. The Constantia Wine Route is a 20-minute drive from Cape Town and home to the country’s oldest wine estate: Groot Constantia. Further afield you’ll find Franschhoek, a little village that has been dubbed the ‘food-and-wine capital’ of South Africa and boasts several top-notch restaurants and over 50 internationally-acclaimed wineries. The historic towns of Paarl and Stellenbosch are both...
Babylonstoren is a historic farm in the Cape Winelands that offers guests a back-to-nature experience without sacrificing luxury and comfort. All produce is sourced from the farm’s sprawling garden where guests can take long, relaxing walks – or even join in the planting and harvesting. The farm’s 16 Luxury Cottages, the Garden Spa and the Babel restaurant add that extra dash of elegance.
Elton John's favourite South Africa hideout, La Residence in Franschhoek, is a Tuscan-style farmhouse shot through with South Africa art, Victorian antiques, glam-rock objets d’art and pop-art colours. Accommodation consists of 11 individually designed Suites, each with its own colours and textures.
