11 Nights South Africa Family Package

4 Nights in Cape Town

Holidays to Cape Town are a perfect blend of sightseeing, wine drinking and wildlife spotting.

The Mother City

With spotless beaches, mountains and vineyards, Cape Town is a serious contender for the world’s most beautiful city. In fact, Telegraph Travel readers voted it the best city in the world in 2023. Sir Francis Drake sung its praises, too, back in 1580. Since then, a bustling metropolis has emerged, but the cape’s natural beauty still shines through.

Natural wonders

The city’s biggest landmark is a natural one. But tear your eyes away from Table Mountain for just a second and you’ll discover nature reserves and world-class beaches are in good supply, too. Make the trip down to Cape Point to witness the meeting of the Indian and Atlantic oceans. Head inland, meanwhile, and you’ll hit wine country. And further along, the Garden Route pulls out all the stops with whale-watching, shark-cage diving and safaris on tap.

Historical sights

For such a 21st-century city, Cape Town still gives plenty of nods to its heritage. The Victoria & Alfred Waterfront is one of the top attractions. Once a worn-down fishing harbour, it’s been restored and transformed into a hub of buzzing shops, restaurants and bars. It’s also the launching point for trips to Robben Island, where you can step inside Nelson Mandela’s former prison cell.

3 Nights in Eastern Cape Safari

The Eastern Cape has in recent years been restocked with game and a number of top-quality game reserves can be found in this area. These private game reserves offer an ideal malaria-free luxury game experience and are a perfect extension to any Garden Route itinerary.

Some of our favourite reserves in this area include Kariega Game Reserve, Amakhala Game Reserve, Shamwari Game Reserve and Sibuya Game Reserve where guests can enjoy a highly personalised game viewing experience that includes all meals and game activities.
