Day 1: En route

Journey to Cape Town

We set off today for Cape Town. It won't take us long to realize why this city is amongst the most beloved in the world—its striking natural features and cosmopolitan wiles make it a remarkable gateway to our adventure.

Cape Town

Days 2 to 5: Cape Town

One&Only Cape Town

"The whole town," Captain Cook wrote in 1771 about Cape Town, "may be consider'd as one great Inn fitted up for the recreation of all comers and goers." The great voyager may as well have been writing this week: Cape Town is one of the world's jazziest, most fascinatingly multicultural and downright beautiful cities. We'll have an electrically relaxed few days to explore the city, based from the incomparable One&Only Cape Town, set on the Victoria & Alfred Waterfront, looking up at Table Mountain, which we will summit via the famed Aerial Cableway. We'll wander out to the Cape Winelands for tastings at places like Delaire Graff Estate, and head over to the Cape of Good Hope, where penguins, zebras, and ostriches happily call home.

Overnight
  • One&Only Cape Town

Days 6 & 7: Singita Kruger

Singita Lebombo / Singita Sweni

Singita's concession in talismanic Kruger was granted in 2001 in recognition of its commitment to conservation. Singita's 33,000-acre concession is an isolated haven of untroubled wilderness. Its two lodges, Singita Lebombo and Singita Sweni, were built to reflect Singita's "touch the earth lightly" philosophy. Singita Kruger was recently voted by Travel+Leisure as the third-best hotel on planet Earth.

Overnight
  • Singita Lebombo or Singita Sweni
Sabi Sand

Days 8 & 9: Singita Sabi Sand

Ebony Lodge

A private, 45,000-acre game reserve, Sabi Sand adjoins Kruger National Park and is one of South Africa's wildlife-richest regions. Within Sabi Sand is Singita Private Game Reserve, owned since 1926 by the Bailes family. Ebony Lodge, Singita's first in the Sabi Sand, stands on the banks of the Sand River in big-cat country. Its thoughtful blending of European tradition and African boldness results in the warmth of a much-loved family home.

Overnight
  • Ebony Lodge, Singita Sabi Sand
Victoria Falls

Days 10 & 11: Victoria Falls

The Royal Livingstone

"Poor Niagara," Eleanor Roosevelt supposedly said upon viewing Iguazu Falls. Had she gazed on Victoria Falls—the greatest curtain of water on earth—she might have been struck speechless. During our stay at the legendary Royal Livingstone Hotel (another perennial T+L best) we'll get to know the Falls, from early-morning views of the mist that rises from the watery cauldron to lazy afternoon sundowners near its dramatic precipice.

Overnight
  • The Royal Livingstone Hotel
Departure

Days 12 & 13: Departure

Homeward bound
