Description
Your flights to Cape Town are based on Club World with British Airways, with upgrades to First Class available. On arrival, you will be privately transferred to the Delaire Graff Wine Estate just outside Stellenbosch in the winelands. This is the latest venture of Laurence Graff, of Graff Diamonds. We can also organise the bespoke helicopter wine-tasting trips and reserve tables at some of South Africa’s best restaurants as well as much, much more.
Then fly to Johannesburg where you will take a private charter up to the Madikwe Game Reserve, a stunning, malaria-free safari destination. The game viewing is outstanding and Molori is perhaps South Africa’s most spectacular lodge. Recently opened in 2009, this is fast becoming the place to safari and, with only five suites, it is the most exclusive lodge in South Africa. Spend a morning on a drive or bush walk and the afternoon relaxing in the fantastic spa or by your private pool. After dinner, sneak up to the observatory and take a look, through South Africa’s largest telescope, at the Southern Cross. This is indulgence at its finest.
Finally, private charter back to Johannesburg and fly straight out to Vilanculos in Mozambique. Then fly by helicopter to Benguerra Island and spend a week at the fabulous Azura in the Villa Amizade. It is perfect for couples desiring a little bit more privacy and leads straight on to the pristine white sand and into the clear blue Indian Ocean. Indulge in only the freshest fish, caught daily, relax in the Azura Spa and sip cocktails as the sun sets over the glistening sea.
