Overview

This romantic holiday or honeymoon in South Africa offers some of the most exclusive and indulgent boutique lodges and hotels in South Africa.

It combines self-drive in the Cape with road transfers into your exclusive safari lodge in a Kruger Private Game Reserve. So it gives you the best of both worlds. The complete independence and flexibility of a self-drive, so that you are free to do as much or as little sight-seeing and exploring as you feel like. But starting the holiday with the security of being in capable hands on safari.

Romantic South Africa begins with some relaxation and rejuvenation time in the beautiful Drakensberg Escarpment area for a couple of nights. This is especially nice if you are coming straight from your wedding. Once you are ready to face the early morning game drives, you head off to one of South Africa’s prime private game reserves. Next it’s a flight down to the Cape for a varied experience including the Cape Winelands, two nights on the beach on the Whale Coast and ending with the highlight of Cape Town.

Tailor-made options

As with nearly all our sample itineraries, it can be tailor-made to suit you and your interests and time-frame. As this is a sample itinerary, you can also reverse the trip and start in Cape Town and end in the Kruger if you prefer.

Base itinerary - this is at a 5 star standard, but we can add more bells and whistles if you wish with upgraded rooms and lodges see the Red Carpet price.
