South Africa - Private Travel

Starry nights in luxury safari lodges, parkland safaris, coastal drives, desert treks, and hillside hikes – incredible wildlife you’ve only ever seen pictures of. South Africa is an all-encompassing natural wonder of epic proportions. The diversity, the poignant history, and the natural beauty yield a profusion of profound, life-changing experiences to all who visit. When you get to know the land, the sky, the roots of South Africa, you’ll wonder what took you so long.

Simon’s Town is one of the few places to witness penguins outside of Antarctica. Not to mention the famous Table Mountain which is a must-see!

In the northeast, take a private safari adventure to Kruger National Park to witness the Big Five – lion, leopard, rhino, elephant, and African buffalo. Throughout many of the parks and reserves, you can experience ecosystems that support a range of wildlife, from grassland to dense forests. Blyde River Canyon is a mind-blowing panorama of dizzying beauty.

In Johannesburg, day trips to Soweto township, once home to Nelson Mandel and Desmond Tutu, reveal the struggle of segregation through the Apartheid Museum and Constitution Hill, an infamous former prison complex.

In the southwest, Cape Town’s beaches and wine regions beckon – Stellenbosch, Franschhoek, and more. Spot whales from the shoreline in the town of Hermanus, scuba dive with great white sharks, and hit the beaches and the hiking trails. Simon’s Town is one of the few places to witness penguins outside of Antarctica. Not to mention the famous Table Mountain which is a must-see!

Take a week or more to drive through the varied environments of the Garden Route, into quaint seaside villages and game reserves teeming with even more incredible wildlife. Explore the historic network of caves and mineral formations at Cango Caves, then make a safari stop at Addo Elephant National Park, where a gentle giant or two will truly tug at your heartstrings.

What is the most memorable vacation you have planned for a client?

I planned a lady’s trip to Portugal, for 8 women all celebrating landmark birthdays. We had our own Benz van with a driver and picked up local guides in each area. It was a lot of fun to put together!
