The Journey – Your Itinerary

2 Nights · Bed & Breakfast

A 1906 Cape Edwardian mansion at the foot of Lion’s Head, built around art, wine and hospitality.

Overlooking the Atlantic from Bantry Bay, this intimate house sets an unhurried tone — a private sundowner with Bantry Bay views, a private guided tour of the house’s art collection, complimentary entry to the Zeitz MOCAA museum, and Robben Island, Table Mountain and Kirstenbosch at leisure.

THE STAY — ELLERMAN HOUSE
A 13-room, 2-villa boutique mansion built around art, wine and cuisine, above the Atlantic, with a significant private art collection throughout.

2 Nights · Full Board

Unfenced to the Kruger, and steeped in the elegance of an earlier safari era.

One of southern Africa’s oldest and largest private Big Five reserves, MalaMala pairs consistent, exceptional game viewing with an Out-of-Africa sense of occasion — morning and afternoon game drives, and consistent Big Five sightings along the Sand River.

THE STAY — RATTRAY’S LODGE
MalaMala’s most luxurious camp, positioned on the unfenced boundary with Kruger National Park, with an understated, old-world safari elegance.

1 Night · Bed & Breakfast

A refined gateway night in Africa’s financial capital.

A single night to unwind between safari legs, set within ten acres of gardens minutes from the airport — the Saxon Spa’s Himalayan salt and copper-influenced treatments, and dining at Qunu, a modern African table.

THE STAY — SAXON HOTEL VILLAS & SPA
A ten-acre garden retreat with private villas reached by skywalk, and an award-winning spa.

2 Nights · Full Board

A UNESCO-listed wetland, and the smallest, most intimate address in the A&K Sanctuary portfolio.

Named for 19th-century explorer and painter Thomas Baines, this six-suite lodge rises from papyrus reeds at the heart of the Delta’s globally significant wetland habitat — morning and afternoon game drives across the Delta, wildlife encounters spanning lion, rhino, leopard and elephant, and a bush-flight arrival.

THE STAY — BAINES’ LODGE, AN A&K SANCTUARY
Six standalone suites conjuring an explorer’s spirit amid the Delta’s papyrus reeds — the most intimate property in the A&K Sanctuary collection.

2 Nights · Full Board

Home to roughly 80,000 elephants, seen from a hilltop retreat above the river.

The journey’s final chapter trades the Delta’s stillness for the drama of the Chobe’s elephant herds and river-level wildlife encounters — game drives on designated Chobe National Park tracks, and boat safaris at water level with elephant and hippo.

THE STAY — CHOBE CHILWERO LODGE, AN A&K SANCTUARY
A hilltop retreat with panoramic Chobe River views and a split-level pool overlooking the floodplain, on the edge of Botswana’s second-largest national park.

Transfer to Kasane International Airport for departure.
