Winter Wonderland Offer

A quietly luxurious South African winter escape — 12 nights for the price of 8, spanning Cape Town, the Winelands, the Garden Route, and a Big Five safari. Here, “winter” means crisp mornings, gentle sunshine, and golden evenings beside a glowing fire.

Overview

Cape Town * Cape Winelands * Garden Route (Plettenberg Bay) * Eastern Cape Safari

Discover a more subtle kind of indulgence with our Winter Wonderland Offer: one without snowdrifts and sub-zero winds. Here, “winter” means crisp mornings, gentle sunshine, and golden evenings beside a glowing fire. Days hover around 17–22°C, ideal for exploring without the summer crowds or heat, while nights invite a glass of vintage red and the quiet flicker of candlelight. (It’s not just the Danes that do ‘hygge’ in the winter. South Africans also love our open fires and candles…)

It’s the perfect time to explore without the summer crowds:  hike or sightsee all day without feeling like a grease ball from slathering on copious sunblock. Enjoy our wonderful Cape cuisine without having to book months in advance for a table. Plus have that perfect ocean or mountain view almost to yourself, without a crowd of selfie-snappers.

Our exclusive 12-night journey for the price of 8–9 nights captures this tranquil beauty, blending the best of the Cape’s coastal and mountain retreats with a Big Five safari in the Eastern Cape.
