Luxury South Africa Travel

Venture into the best of South Africa on an unforgettable private journey

Just for you

South Africa's natural beauty and vibrant cultures set the stage for a luxury itinerary beyond compare. Explore the famed Garden Route, indulge in the Winelands, and embark on exclusive safaris. Our travel designers have curated a series of itineraries to inspire and delight you.

Natural beauty at every turn, unforgettable Luxury Safaris, vibrant cultures and Africa's most sophisticated cuisine.

Few countries have as much to offer as South Africa. Remarkable game reserves, untouched nature, dramatic mountains and beautifully wild coastlines promise the journey of a lifetime.

South African safaris offer more than just Big Five sightings. Head to the Whale Coast near Cape Town for whale-spotting before venturing into the bush to see elephants, buffalos and rhinos grazing near lions stretching lazily beneath trees. Closer to cities, relish private wine tastings in Stellenbosch, snatch tables at the best restaurants, cycle through the Cape Peninsula, and learn more about South African cuisine, art, fashion and history.

Our team of safari specialists and South African experts can craft an immersive itinerary capturing South Africa’s unique wonders with completely bespoke and personalized activities.

Excellence and Sustainability: Our commitment to luxury travel in South Africa is matched by our dedication to sustainability and ethical experiences. We ensure your journey not only captivates but also contributes positively to conservation efforts and local communities.

Browse our sample itineraries below. Thanks to our extensive personal experience, we can recommend the most luxurious places to stay, the best restaurants to dine in, and incomparable excursions based on your interests.

Highlights of Luxury Travel in South Africa

Plan your trip

From top-tier accommodations to immersive activities and tours, we meticulously select each based on exceptional quality, trusted relationships and proximity to the most outstanding South African locations. Use our sample itineraries to inspire you and then connect with our team of expert travel designers to commence planning your dream South African Luxury Tour.

Best Time to Visit

South Africa’s diverse climate in various regions means it is a fantastic year-round destination. However, if you’re a first time traveller to South Africa and your goal is to see Cape Town and the Kruger, we always recommend April or October. In April the weather in Cape Town is simply glorious and the rains are dying down in the Kruger. In October, the Kruger is bursting with wildlife but not overly crowded with people, and Cape Town is warming up nicely. Yet, if these months don’t align with your travel plans, fear not – South Africa has treasures that can be enjoyed year-round. Connect with us to create your perfect South African Luxury tour.
