Kruger Bridge Safari & Western Cape Adventure

Begin your holiday with a complimentary airport lounge, before your overnight flight to Johannesburg.

Arriving in Johannesburg this morning, connect to your onward flight to Skukuza airport, your gateway to Kruger. Following a short transfer, you will arrive at one of the most unique and highly anticipated and opulent hotels in South Africa. Kruger Shalati hosts a luxurious converted train permanently stationed on the historical Selati Bridge above the Sabie River, offering the most exclusive setting within this iconic national park. Settle into your distinct carriage suite, complete with authentic design and glass walls allowing for infinite views along the length of the river.

As one of South Africa’s most famous national parks, Kruger provides prime game viewing opportunities in one of the country’s richest, most biodiverse regions. Indeed, with its favourable spot deep in wildlife territory, the next couple of days bring forth a one-of-a-kind adventure centred around twice-daily included game drives, allowing you the chance to go out in search of the rich wildlife of the area. Back at the hotel, an all-inclusive stay means a choice of restaurants, featuring everything from afternoon tea to world-class African cuisine. But, it’s not just the gastronomic delights which make for an inclusive stay. On the bridge, high above the riverbank lies an overhanging pool, inviting you to impossibly scenic panoramas of the divine wilderness, a perfect spot to relish a quiet moment with a glass of wine and enjoy thirsty animals meandering down to the flowing river just metres below. Drawing the likes of hippos, crocodiles, and of course the Big Five, if you’re lucky you may even hear the howls of wildlife passing underneath the bridge after sunset and into the night.

Following breakfast this morning, transfer back to Skukuza airport and fly onwards to Cape Town for the next leg of your adventure. Upon arrival, an included transfer will whisk you away from the city lights towards your luxurious eco-lodge, hidden among an ancient Milkwood forest along the Hermanus coast. Settle into the warm vibrant surroundings, enjoying the impressive panoramic views of the shrubland and the ocean beyond. Over the next three days, explore the surrounding nature reserve through a variety of included excursions. As well as included bird-watching and coastal drives, discover the fynbos and forests through guided walks, or perhaps head to the pristine white sand beach for a more leisurely trot on horseback. Be sure to take advantage of included land-based whale-watching opportunities, particularly during peak season from July to December where sightings are more common. What’s more, you’ll enjoy the full complement of meals served in the beautifully intimate restaurant, charming wine cellar or magical outdoor boma throughout.

After breakfast, your private transfer will take you across the coast to Constantia Valley, on the outskirts of Cape Town where your charming spa hotel awaits. Situated on a historic wine farm with serene gardens and dazzling views, your next few days will be spent enjoying life’s finer pleasures. As well as sampling the local produce on a complimentary Constantia wine tour, you’ll head to Cape Town to discover the city's sights, with an included cable car trip. We have also included an immersive Cape Peninsula tour, allowing you to explore the region in depth. After a day of discovery, complimentary shuttle transfers will take you back to your luxury sanctuary where you can opt for some spa pampering or a dip in the secluded pool.

After a delicious last breakfast, say farewell to the rainbow nation in comfort with a private transfer back to Cape Town airport for your overnight flight back to the UK.
