Cape Town, Cape Winelands, Sanbona Wildlife Reserve safari

This private South Africa tour features the best of Cape Town and the Cape Winelands, as well as a safari on a private wildlife reserve in the Little Karoo, a malaria-free region that’s driving distance from Cape Town.

Begin in Cape Town, one of the world’s most beautiful cities. During private touring, explore the city’s stunning landscapes, vibrant neighborhoods, fascinating history, and excellent food and wine scene. Enjoy fast-track access for the cable car up iconic Table Mountain, and walk among native fynbos plants in beautiful Kirstenbosch National Botanical Garden. Learn about Cape Town history in evocative places such as Bo-Kaap (the Cape Malay Quarter), the Company’s Garden and the Castle of Good Hope. Browse for locally made clothing, jewelry and other treasures in top handicrafts markets. Enjoy reservations at Cape Town’s best restaurants, find a snack in the Time Out Market food hall, stop at a farmers market or have afternoon tea at the atmospheric Mount Nelson, a Belmond Hotel.

One day, enjoy a private excursion to the spectacular Cape Peninsula to see penguins at Boulders Beach, dramatic landscapes at Cape Point and along Chapman’s Peak Drive, and the area’s unique vegetation, which is protected as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Depending on your interests, Artisans of Leisure can arrange additional options, such as an excursion to Robben Island, scenic helicopter flights, Jewish touring, a visit to a township, visits to the District Six Museum or the Zeitz Museum of Contemporary Art Africa, touring in the Constantia wine region or an excursion to the seaside town of Hermanus.

Continue to a luxurious countryside hotel in the Cape Winelands, a region of vineyards, small towns and dramatic mountains. During private touring, enjoy personalized wine tastings at some of South Africa's premier vineyards and stop at Babylonstoren, a farming and culinary complex with whitewashed Cape Dutch buildings and lush gardens. Also visit the towns of Stellenbosch and Franschhoek to see charming historic districts, browse boutiques and dine at acclaimed restaurants according to your interests.

Next, transfer by private vehicle to the Little Karoo, a rugged region in the Western Cape that’s driving distance from Cape Town, for a safari in the Sanbona Wildlife Reserve. During morning and afternoon game drives in this private conservation area, look for the Big Five (elephants, lions, leopards, rhinos and Cape buffaloes), as well as cheetahs, hippos, giraffes and other animals and birds. Walking safaris, spa treatments and other activities can also be arranged.
