Itinerary in detail

Every trip is shaped around you. Below is a sample route to start from; we change any part of it to suit you.

Days 1-4

Cape Town, an embrace of mountains and sea

Cape Town, South Africa‘s ‘Mother City’, promises a magical start to your honeymoon, with adventure waiting in every direction.

Let your gaze be drawn upwards to the majesty of Table Mountain, its grandeur commanding the horizon. Then, discover Bo-Kaap’s winding cobblestone lanes, where each brightly painted house offers a glimpse into Cape Malay heritage, or experience the buzz of the city’s waterfront, lined with designer boutiques and trendy eateries.

Journeying along Chapman’s Peak Drive, a breathtaking route carved into the mountainside, unveils turquoise waters meeting plunging cliffs. Find sun-drenched beaches on the Western Cape, such as Boulders Beach, where you can marvel at African penguins in their natural habitat.

Wind your way along Hout Bay and Chapman's Peak Drive

Leaving the suburbs of Cape Town, embark on the scenic coastal route that winds through Hout Bay and up over Chapman’s Peak for truly stunning views of the coastline. From June to November, you can even see southern right whales in the waters off-shore.

Days 5-6

Retreat to the Winelands

Only a short drive from Cape Town brings South Africa’s Winelands into view, a landscape of emerald rolling hills draped in sun-ripened vineyards, dotted with enchanting villages, boutique wineries and some of the finest restaurants in Africa.

Spend your days flitting between wine-tasting sessions with expert sommeliers and passionate winemakers, and relishing the old-world charm and timeless tranquillity of South Africa’s wine country.

Into South Africa's vines and wines

Discover wine farms, quaint historical towns and vine-blanketed hills as well as some of the country’s top restaurants and boutiques. The region, with its mineral-rich mountains and various microclimates, is perfect for producing world-class wines. That, coupled with a rich history of winemaking dating back to the 17th century French Huguenots as well as improved winemaking methods, has seen a new generation of winemakers growing and producing outstanding wines.

Days 7-10

An unrivalled safari in Sabi Sands

Swap South Africa’s countryside for savanna bushveld as you journey to Sabi Sands’ private reserve, a world-renowned safari destination.

Embark on thrilling morning and evening game drives to search for Africa’s iconic predators, including graceful leopards, for which Sabi Sands boasts one of the highest densities in the world. On walking safaris, you can uncover the reserve’s extraordinary fauna and track wildlife on foot.

Days 11-12

A grand finale in Livingstone and Victoria Falls

Your romantic sojourn concludes in Zambia with a final, awe-inspiring vista — that of the mighty Victoria Falls, also known as Mosi-oa-Tunya.

Take in its sheer majesty as colossal curtains of water plummet into the Zambezi River below. On a privately guided tour, you’ll uncover its magnificence from a different perspective as your guide shares tales that bring its history to life.

Just as the sky turns to crimson and gold, you’ll set sail on the serene waters of the Zambezi, the perfect setting to raise a toast to your honeymoon as the sun sinks below the horizon.
