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. Inclusions Mount Nelson, A Belmond Hotel (Superior Room) Day 2 One night 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. Inclusions Mount Nelson, A Belmond Hotel (Superior Room) Breakfast Day 3 One night Board Rovos Rail Enjoy a leisurely breakfast before meeting your private transfer to Cape Town Station to board Rovos Rail in time for an afternoon departure. The ultimate in luxury rail travel, Rovos Rail has been operating since 1989 and gives you a unique and ultra-glamorous way to experience some of southern Africa’s magnificent landscapes and landmarks. Look out your window to marvel at the ever-changing landscapes and indulge in world-class cuisine onboard for a formal dinner. Inclusions Rovos Rail (Pullman Cabin) Breakfast and Dinner Day 4 One night Matiesfontein After breakfast, you’ll disembark for an opportunity to stroll through the historic village of Matiesfontein in the morning. Explore the museum of historic cars and railway carriages to the right of the Lord Milner Hotel. After your short stop, you'll rejoin the train and travel through the Karoo, a vast semi-desert region that was once an enormous inland sea. In the afternoon, enjoy high tea in the lounge car before dressing for a formal dinner. Inclusions Rovos Rail (Pullman Cabin) Breakfast, Lunch and Dinner Day 5 One night Kimberley Gaze out the window in the morning and wake for a delicious breakfast on board before arriving to Kimberley Railway Station, where you will disembark for an off-the-train excursion at this historic town. Enjoy a tour of the Kimberley Open Mine Museum followed by a visit to the Big Hole, an open pit and underground mine believed to be the largest hole in the world excavated by hand. Then, return to the train for lunch as the journey continues towards Pretoria. The rest of the day is at your leisure – sit back, relax and watch the passing scenery from the privacy of your cabin. In the afternoon, enjoy high tea in the lounge car before dinner hosted onboard. Inclusions Rovos Rail (Pullman Cabin) Breakfast, Lunch and Dinner Day 6 One night Pretoria – Johannesburg Enjoy a relaxing breakfast aboard before arriving at Pretoria Railway Station mid-morning, where you will be met and transferred by private car to your luxury hotel, located in one of Johannesburg’s finest neighbourhoods. This elegant villa hotel, Fairlawns Boutique Hotel & Spa, sits on perfectly manicured grounds that were once part of a private estate. In summer, you can enjoy alfresco meals overlooking the large pool, lush lawns and majestic trees. In winter, you can curl up next to the roaring fireplaces. Be sure to indulge in the Balinese-style spa with its outdoor massage and hydro areas (additional cost). Located just minutes from the centre of Jo’burg city life, this high-end stay is the ultimate resting place before your onward adventure into the African bush. Inclusions Fairlawns Boutique Hotel & Spa (Grand Chateau Suite) Breakfast 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. Inclusions Dulini — either Dulini Moya, Dulini Leadwood or Dulini River 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. Inclusions Breakfast Expand map Highlights & inclusions The following are included in your tour package: Highlights 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. You will also spend two nights in the shadow of the spectacular Table Mountain at Mount Nelson, A Belmond Hotel – a five-star oasis of timeless glamour in the bustling heart of Cape Town – and one night at the private-estate-turned-luxury-villa of Fairlawns Boutique Hotel & Spa, one of Johannesburg’s most awarded boutique hotels. The Experiences – Enjoy exclusive private touring through Cape Town, board one of the world’s most luxurious trains and get up close and personal with South Africa’s wildlife Few cities on earth have a landscape as spectacular as Cape Town. From the magnificent Table Mountain to the glistening waters of V&A Waterfront, this is a city where beauty abounds. Delve a little deeper with a private morning tour of the city and discover the magnetic culture – a wonderful melting pot of multi-cultural influences that colours everything from architecture and artwork to cuisine. Aboard Rovos Rail indulge in world-class luxury as you dine on delicious international cuisine paired with the finest local wines and watch the world go by as you relax in the observation car all before retreating to your opulent suite. 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.
