Wine, Wellness & Wildlife Deluxe

ABOUT THIS TRIP

Come with us to the best wellness and pleasure resorts in the Cape and let yourself be pampered. Whether in the upmarket Cape Town suburb of Constantia, in the scenically unique wine regions of Stellenbosch and Franschhoek, in the endless expanses of the Little Karoo semi-desert or with great sea views in Hermanus: you will discover that this region is one of the most beautiful and varied in the world. We have hand-picked exclusive accommodation to suit this tour.

You don't want to drive yourself, but a small group tour doesn't have the right start date for you and a privately guided tour is too expensive? Then our English-speaking chauffeur-driven tours are just the right alternative. Your private chauffeur will take you from place to place, where you will then take part in privately guided day activities (with the exception of game viewing activities with other people). However, you do not have the all-round support of a continuous tour guide. All chauffeur-driven tours can start daily and can be adapted to your wishes at any point beforehand. The more people take part in your own chauffeur-driven tour, the lower the price per person.

Sanbona offers you relaxation, luxury and safari in the realm of the Bushmen of South Africa. The name is made up of the word "San", as the Bushmen are called, and the word "bona" as a sign of the indigenous people's hope for this land, where they lived freely for thousands of years. This is because former farmland was converted into a reserve here in the 1990s and returned to nature. Now, for the first time in 200 years, lions and cheetahs can be seen living freely in the Klein Karoo in the game reserve. But with a bit of luck, you can also spot the other representatives of the Big Five and many other African wild animals here.
