11-night South Africa Luxury Experience & Whale Watching

A restored National Monument from the early 1800s, Cape Cadogan sits on Kloof Street in Gardens, with Table Mountain rising behind the rooftops and the city's creative energy running right up to the door. Rooms and suites range from king-bedded classics to larger options with private terraces and their own lounges, and a two-bedroom stable suite sleeps four. The villa stands apart, with three bedrooms, a private pool, a full kitchen and stocked pantry, a breakfast chef, a concierge, and a private chauffeur and vehicle on exclusive-use stays. Two temperature-controlled pools and a fitness centre sit alongside a wellness centre. Steps away, Upper Union serves Chef Amori Burger's seasonal menus, small and large plates designed to be shared, with cocktails and boutique South African wines through the evening. Everything else is close. Galleries, independent shops, and restaurants where locals actually eat are a five-minute walk, the airport is twenty minutes out, and the beaches, winelands, and mountain trails are all within reach of a single day. Insider's Tip: The TheraVine treatments in the wellness centre are built on Pinotage grape seed extract from the same winelands you can drive out to in an afternoon.

Nestled between mountain and sea, the Grootbos Private Nature Reserve is a five-star eco-paradise showcasing the incredible Flora and Marine life of the Southern Tip of Africa. Home of the "Marine Big 5" - whales, sharks, dolphins, seals and penguins; and with unparalleled floral diversity, Grootbos offers you a one-of-a-kind luxury African experience. Forest Lodge offers panoramic views and every suite offers complete privacy. Forest Lodge is an architectural masterpiece with a chic design that perfectly accentuates the draping branches of the surrounding Milkwood forest. A creative gourmet cuisine, using home-grown organic vegetables and the freshest local produce, is complemented by fine local wines. Dedicated conservationists accompany guests daily on awe-inspiring excursions to explore the flora, fauna, bird and marine life of the area by foot, boat, horseback or in an open 4x4 vehicle. From June to December marvel at the Southern Right Whales that may be viewed from the rocky cliffs, pure white beaches, by boat or light airplane. INSIDER'S TIP: We are in the heart of the Cape Floral Kingdom - the smallest but richest of the six floral kingdoms – and at Grootbos 760 of the 9000 fynbos species found in the Cape grow here.

Situated in the iconic Sabi Sand Game Reserve, a recognised biodiversity hotspot in the greater Kruger National Park, Sabi Sabi is blessed with an astonishing variety of habitats and wildlife. Hidden in the shade of indigenous riverine trees on the banks of the dry yet productive Msuthlu River, Little Bush Camp is the smallest and most secluded of our lodges. A showcase of safari chic in a relaxed environment, it’s ideal for exclusive use by small groups. Each of the six suites has an en-suite bathroom, private deck and heated spa bath overlooking the riverbed and surrounding bush. Relax in our inviting lounge and enjoy delicious culinary experiences including dinners served under the African night skies in the boma. INSIDER’S TIP: You will have an excellent chance of close encounters with the Big Five as well as cheetah, wild dog and all species indigenous to the area.
