18 Day Ultimate African Honeymoon

Arrival / Cape Town

Guests are met and welcomed at Cape Town International Airport and transferred to the Cape Grace Hotel, set along a private quay on Cape Town's vibrant Victoria & Alfred Waterfront. One can feel at home with individually furnished rooms, old Cape charm, and sophistication. Aside from the usual luxuries, the hotel has a magnificent view of the harbor and waterfront. Enjoy the relaxed atmosphere at the hotel or explore the unique shops and dining experiences on offer at the waterfront. Alternatively, opt for a boat ride around the harbor. Guests spend four nights at the Cape Grace and can relax at the waterfront or explore Cape Town and its surroundings.

During your time in Cape Town, you can enjoy two included private day trips accompanied by a knowledgeable African Sky Guide. The days on which you want to enjoy these are to be confirmed. On these days, you will be met in the hotel lobby at 8 am and returned to the hotel between 4 pm and 5 pm.

Cape of Good Hope

This tour explores the Cape Peninsula on a circular route; it features magnificent coastal scenery, a visit to the old lighthouse via the Cape Dutchman Funicular, and a visit to Boulders Beach to observe a mainland-based colony of the critically endangered African penguins.

Cape Winelands

On this day, you will visit the historical towns of Stellenbosch and Franschhoek, visit two or three wineries for a cellar tour, get an introduction to winemaking, and taste some of South Africa's finest wines.

Sabi Sand Private Game Reserve

Guests are met after breakfast and transferred to George Airport for a flight to Johannesburg, and from there, you have an onward connection to Skukuza in the Kruger National Park. A transfer will meet you at the airport and take you on a short drive to your lodge in the world-renowned Sabi Sand Private Game Reserve. The reserve is part of the Greater Kruger National Park and home to many of South Africa's finest game lodges. The Lion Sands River Lodge is secluded; every room has a private patio where alone time can be enjoyed. It overlooks the Sabie River, and you are assured of exceptional game viewing, even from the comfort of your luxury room.

Two game drives and a bush walk are conducted daily: one shortly after sunrise and the other in the late afternoon, extending into the first hours of darkness when the predators become active for the night's hunt. You will experience close encounters with the legendary Big Five; the lion, leopard, elephant, and rhino are the most desirable animals to see on safari activities. But there is more to see: antelope like the kudu, waterbuck, impala, and many more. Other fascinating animals include zebra, giraffe, crocodile, and hippopotamus. You will also encounter rich avian diversity on game drives and when relaxing in camp.

Livingstone

This morning, you will travel to the airport near Mbombela (Nelspruit) for a flight to Livingstone, Zambia. Upon arrival at the airport near Livingstone, guests will be met and transferred to their hotel, located on the banks of the Zambezi River. The Royal Livingstone boasts an alluring proximity to the foamy crest of Victoria Falls, offering spellbinding views of the falls' rainbow-spun mists pirouetting above the drop.

Mealtimes are known as much for their delectable flavors as for their spectacular settings. Breakfast and lunch are typically al fresco affairs under the shady loom of Indigenous trees or with views over the river. Dinner is an altogether regal business, whether enjoyed under the softly lit glow of chandeliers or the silvery sparkle of the African night sky. Wildlife like zebras, giraffes, and various antelope species may occasionally wander through the hotel's gardens.

Two activities are included during your stay at the Royal Livingstone. The date and time will be determined after discussion.

Falls Tour

Visit Mosi-oa-Tunya National Park accompanied by a private guide. The park is a UNESCO World Heritage Site overlooking Victoria Falls. You will visit various vantage points to view the falls and walk through the surrounding rainforest. These falls are genuinely a natural spectacle to behold. Explore the African curio market outside the park before returning to the hotel.

Zambezi Sunset Cruise

At a time to be agreed upon, you will be met at the hotel and transferred to the launch site of your cruise. Sip cocktails while watching the sunset over a magnificent wilderness with the occasional hippo snorting and birdsong filling the air.

Departure

A last morning game activity and breakfast are followed by a transfer to Kasane Airport and from there a flight to Johannesburg. Guests are met at the airport and assisted with check-in to their international flight after a memorable honeymoon.
