THE ULTIMATE LUXURY TOUR
I T I N E R A R Y
See South Africa in ultimate style and luxury. No expense spared for this trip of a lifetime.
Day 1.
Arrive at Johannesburg International Airport.
Transfer in private plane to Ulusaba Reserve, which is Sir Richard Branson’s Private Game Reserve.
Richard Branson set out to create the most beautiful game reserve in Africa and has exceeded all expectations.
The Reserve is located in the Western section of the Sabi Sand Game Reserve adjacent to the Kruger National Park.
There are two Lodges in the Reserve:-
Rock Lodge which is perched at the top of a koppie (a small hill) which gives a spectacular panoramic view over miles of bush, the wildlife roaming within, the beauty of the lowveld, all set against the backdrop of the Drakensberg Mountain Range in the far distance.
Safari Lodge, which is built along the banks of the dry Mabrak riverbed. The rooms are built “tree house” style and you really get the feeling of being at the heart of the bush. Your room will provide fascinating views of the animals as they stroll past on their way to the nearby waterhole.
The accommodation at Rock Lodge is stunning, wonderful views from all windows and strategically placed telescopes. Look out of any window for a reminder of just how spectacular nature can be. There is a freshwater pool set in a magnificent wooden deck perfect for relaxation having seen the big five.
Safari Lodge rooms are all quiet and secluded with strategically placed bathtubs so you can lie back and watch the animals go by, each room has private lounge and deck.
You can choose between Cliff Room at Rock Lodge and the Elephant Room at the Safari Lodge or split your stay between the two properties.
Included.
• All meals served in a variety of locations around the lodges
• All beverages including a top quality wine list and fine champagne.

Day 7
Leave after breakfast for transfer to Pretoria and Rail Trip on Rovos Rail to Cape Town. Train leaves at 15.30.
Since its establishment more than 15 years ago, Rovos Rail has earned an international reputation for its truly world-class travel experiences. Step aboard the wood-paneled coaches - classics remodeled and refurbished to mint condition - and enjoy fine cuisine in five-star luxury as some of the most varied scenery imaginable unfolds beyond the windows. Recapture the romance and atmosphere of a by-gone era, when privileged travelers experienced the magic and mystery of Africa in a relaxed and elegant fashion.
We have included one of the Royal Suites, each of which takes up half a carriage, are named after colourful characters of the Victorian era in South Africa, including Cecil John Rhodes, Barney Barnato and Alfred Beit. Spacious and elegant, the Royal Suites measure 16 sq metres in size (172 sq ft). Each one has its own private lounge area and full bathroom with Victorian bath and separate shower.
Day 8-9
Aboard the train with excursions along the way.
Comment from a previous client:
“The Rovos train is exceptional in that everything is first class, to the extreme, so you feel really "pampered". Examples - Cold towels and champagne on the platform when you return from the Kimberly tour (which included lunch at the Kimberly Club of Cecil Rhodes era) - hors d'hoevres in ones compartment before dinner - best wines - real crystal glassware - beautiful wood paneled suites (2 or 3 per carriage) with everything you needed - own fridge, stocked with your favourite beverages - bed turndowns with chocolates on the pillow - 1911 restored dinning car and Edwardian observation car - coat and tie for dinner - 5 course dinners with printed menus - everything included. They just make everyone (50 on our trip - max 75) feel special. Takes 50 hours instead of the Blue Trains 24 hours with the max speed set at 60kpm for a smoother ride in these older carriages. Connect the train to a Steam locomotive for the last 50 kms into their own separate station and yards in Pretoria. It’s an experience not a trip!! You should try it - it was the highlight of our visit to SA.
Arrive 6 pm in Cape Town.
Transfer to the Cape Grace Hotel, with accommodation in a one bedroom suite at the Five Star Cape Grace Hotel, which is perfectly positioned on its own quay in the Victoria and Alfred Waterfront, with breathtaking views of Table Mountain a Private yacht marina and Cape Town’s captivating harbour.
This is voted by Conde Naste as Africa’s best Hotel.

You will be provided with a dedicated vehicle and guide to show you the best of Cape Town
Day 14.
