Locations
Cape Town offers natural beauty and vibrant cosmopolitan flair. South Africa's 'Mother City' is dominated by the majestic Table Mountain, ringed by pristine white-sand beaches like Clifton and Boulders (home to charming penguins). The city offers a rich cultural experience at the V&A Waterfront, a poignant visit to Robben Island, and a tour of the Cape Peninsula.
Franschhoek is a charming heritage town nestled in the stunning Cape Winelands, just over an hour from Cape Town. This picturesque valley offers a rich blend of nature, gastronomy, and culture, featuring exquisite five-star restaurants amidst breathtaking landscapes. Visitors can explore elegant Cape Dutch manor houses, intriguing museums, and delightful boutiques, with opportunities for hiking and cycling.
The Okavango Delta in Botswana is a verdant inland delta formed by the mighty Okavango River flowing into the Kalahari Desert, a unique ecosystem shaped by annual floodwaters from Angola and channels engineered by hippos and elephants. This lush wilderness teems with diverse wildlife, including the Big Five (lion, leopard, elephant, buffalo & rhino).
Lodges & hotels
4 nights at Kensington Place, Cape Town, South Africa: A boutique hotel offering modern design and personalised service in the heart of Cape Town.
2 nights at La Clé, Franschhoek, South Africa: Exclusive accommodation nestled in the vineyards, providing a tranquil retreat with gourmet dining options.
4 nights at Karangoma, Okavango Delta, Botswana: A luxury safari camp located in a private concession, offering exceptional wildlife viewing opportunities and exclusivity.
Timing
This safari is best enjoyed during October to early November, when there is a remarkable synergy between superb wildlife viewing towards the end of Botswana's dry season and delightful early summer weather in South Africa's Western Cape.
October marks the zenith of Botswana's dry season, ensuring concentrated wildlife around dwindling water sources, making sightings exceptional, particularly for predators and wild dog puppies.
Also at that time, Cape Town and the Cape Winelands transition into their hot, dry summer months, offering ideal conditions for exploration and wine-tasting, often with the advantage of fewer crowds before the local holiday season truly commences. This carefully chosen window promises an unforgettable African adventure.
You can also enjoy this safari outside of that window of opportunity, with careful planning to cater for the Cape Town winter and the Botswana summer. Our safari experts will help you make the best timing decision.
