Travelers

The rotors dip and Cape Town hurries beneath you—white-sand elbows of coastline, the flat crown of Table Mountain, and the Atlantic and Indian Oceans trading light along the peninsula. It’s the kind of arrival that converts a trip into a memory: helicopter hum one minute, vineyard hush the next, then the deliberate drum of safari tires on red earth. This six-day private honeymoon loops three of South Africa’s most distinct stages—urban panorama, historical reckoning, and wild country—each offering a different tempo and terrain.

Adventure Tips

Pack layers for microclimates

Table Mountain can be 10–15°C cooler than the waterfront; bring a windproof layer and a light fleece for summit time.

Early starts for wildlife

Game activity peaks at sunrise and late afternoon—plan to be out on safari drives at dawn for the best sightings and light.

Respect penguin rules

At Boulders Beach stay on designated boardwalks and keep 2–3 meters from penguins to avoid disturbing their habitat.

Hydrate and carry cash

South African days can be long—carry 1–2 liters of water and small notes for market purchases and tips.
