Imagine a journey custom designed for discerning safari purists. With a focus on wildlife, you will spend eight nights in three different private reserves, each one well-adept at catering to your creature comforts.

Begin your journey with four nights in Cape Town, where you can soak up the local charm and enjoy the ocean view from your room. Explore the Cape Peninsula with your private car and driver. Then, it's time to bid adieu to the city and embark
on your wildlife explorations.

Each reserve and lodge has been carefully selected for the unique qualities and attributes it will add to your experience. The Madikwe is distinctive for its red dirt and wild dog population, while the Timbavati is the home of the gene pool for the white lion, and the Sabi Sands has the greatest density of wildlife in South Africa.

Only on a journey such as this, are you assured both man-made luxuries and nature's wildlife wonders.
