Cape Town & Beyond – A Luxury Adventure in South Africa
Drive the iconic Defender through breathtaking landscapes, stay in world-class lodges, and experience the spirit of South Africa in style.
What to expect
Journey through South Africa’s most breathtaking landscapes in the comfort of a Land Rover Defender
Begin at the foot of Table Mountain, where you’ll stay at the iconic Cape Grace Hotel and dine at one of the city’s most acclaimed restaurants. Then, take to the open road and wind your way through mountain passes and sandstone cliffs toward Cederberg Ridge, where the stars burn bright above the wilderness. Each day unfolds at a different rhythm — a sunrise hike through rugged terrain, an evening braai under vast African skies, and quiet moments that connect you to the soul of the land.
From there, fly north to Hoedspruit for a luxury safari in Kapama Private Game Reserve. Here, dawn breaks with the sound of distant lions and the rustle of the bush. Morning and evening game drives bring you face-to-face with Africa’s iconic Big Five, while afternoons invite peaceful reflection — a spa treatment, a dip in the pool, or simply watching elephants at the waterhole with a glass of wine in hand.
Your journey concludes in the Cape Winelands, where time slows at Babylonstoren. Savor farm-to-table dining, wander through healing gardens, and celebrate the simple elegance of life on a working Cape Dutch farm. The final evening at VUUR Restaurant is a tribute to South African flavor — fire, smoke, storytelling, and connection — the perfect crescendo to an unforgettable journey.
Every moment is crafted for those who crave authenticity and adventure without compromise. Expect the unexpected — dramatic landscapes, soulful cuisine, and experiences that ignite the senses and linger long after you’ve returned home.
