Stay 1
5 nights
Cape Town
Radisson Blu Waterfront
Begin with five nights in Cape Town. There is room to explore at your own pace rather than rushing through a short city stop. We can help you decide which days to plan and which to leave free.

Why this combination works
Five nights in Cape Town gives the holiday a settled beginning. The shorter stays that follow bring variety, from the winelands and coast to the safari, before Mauritius provides a proper pause at the end.

Suggested itinerary
The journey, stay by stay
Stay 2
2 nights
Franschhoek
Le Quartier Francais
Continue to Franschhoek for two nights. Keep time for leisurely meals and exploring the surrounding winelands, with any tastings or excursions arranged around your interests.
Stay 3
1 night
Swellendam
Schoone Oordt
Break the journey with a night in Swellendam. This shorter stay divides the travelling into more manageable stages before you continue towards the coast.
Stay 4
2 nights
Plettenberg Bay
Plett Quarter Hotel
Spend two nights in Plettenberg Bay, with time to enjoy the coastal setting. The balance between exploring and relaxing can be shaped around what you most want from this part of the journey.
Stay 5
2 nights
Amakhala Game Reserve
Amakhala Safari Lodge
Swap the coast for two nights at Amakhala. We will confirm the game-drive programme with your lodge when planning the stay. Wildlife sightings are never guaranteed, which is part of what makes each outing different.
Stay 6
1 night
Johannesburg
Intercontinental OR Tambo
An overnight stop in Johannesburg separates the South African journey from your onward travel to Mauritius. The flights and transfers will be checked together so that the connection works comfortably.
Stay 7
5 nights
Mauritius
Paradise Cove Boutique Hotel
Finish with five nights in Mauritius. After changing locations through South Africa, this final stay gives you time to settle in, enjoy the hotel and leave a few days entirely unplanned.
