Gathering In The Wilderness

The wildlife-rich plains of Sabi Sands are your personal backyard Sir Richard Branson's Ulusaba Private Game Reserve. Whether you're planning a long awaited family reunion or joining your closest friends on an indulgent getaway, we'll arrange your stay in the Rock Lodge,perched 800 feeet above the wilderness atop a rocky hill shrouded in greenery. Bring your binoculars to the viewing deck to spot leopards prowling in the bushvield below and, come nightfall, peer through a telescope into inky skies dotted with endless constellations. You may be awakened by the roar of lions before yo set off on an early morning game drive in an open 4x4; expert rangers track majestic creatures roaming the plains while pointing out local flora and photo-worthy perspectives. After a day of adventures in the outdoors, enjoy a paraffin lamp-lit dinner in the bush or return to your lodge and gather around a communal table for a South African feast.

A Toast To Wine Country

Among the vineyards of the Cape Winelands, you can practically taste the love that goes into each and every bottle. In treasured wineries such as Kanonkop Wine Estate and Fairview Estate, families have passed down their secrets through the generations to create pinotage, chenin blanc and other South African varietals that have cemented this region as a premier wine destination. Board a private helicopter for a romantic excursion soaring between esteemed estates across wine country. As you touch down to greet cellar masters, you'll be escorted behind the scenes to swirl,sniff and sip private reserves rarely shared beyond these walls. You can continue to expand your culinary horizons on your terms, whether it's plucking grapes from the vineyards of Franschhoek's Mont Rochelle Hotel & Vineyard or lunching at Delaire Graff Estate in Stellenbosch, where artistically inspired plates are paired with dramatic mountain views.

Dynamic Diversions 

In Cape Town, each day and night is crafted just as you wish, whether you're marking a milestone or going solo to indulge your own personal passions. Adventurers can follow in the footsteps of a local San guide on a private hike (or take an easy cable car ride) up Table Mountain. Learn about the mountain's distinctive flattened cap and unique microclimates as your guide shares insights into his ancestors' powerful ties to this sacred monolith. Cuirous foodies may prefer a stroll of another kind on a culinary walking tour of Cape Town, experiencing the city's diverse influences through its cuisine - from spicy Indian samosas to Cape Malay koeksisters, syrup-drenched braided doughnuts. Or, should you prefer to reserve your appetite for a four-star event, retreat to the spa at the One&Only Cape Town before sitting down for a five-course, farm-to-table tasting menu at Reuben's.

A Touch of Artistry

Find a sense of living history amid the old fishing village of Kalk Bay. In the working harbor, brightly painted boats showcase the enduring fishing heritage among Cape Malay locals. Modern-day Kalk Bay has also emerged as an artistic enclave, replete with galleries, art-filled cafes and craft shops. Walk through the charming village alongside a historian and pop into spots like the Kalk Bay Modern, a contemporary gallery dedicated to showcasing South African artists, and The Pottershop for its eclectic collection of brilliantly glazed ceramics.
