Your introduction to Southern Africa begins in South Africa’s coastal city of Cape Town, voted Best City in the World by The Telegraph Travel Awards in 2023. You won’t regret adding a few days in Cape Town to your safari itinerary, with the city’s cafés, wine bars and boutiques just around the corner from the More Quarters Neighbourhood Hotel. Situated near trendy Kloof Street, the spacious More Quarters luxury apartments are the ideal base from which to explore the city’s beaches, mountains and winelands.

 

With a Wilderness Touring private guide and vehicle at your disposal, the city is your oyster; hike Table Mountain, cruise along the peninsula in a classic car or enjoy a traditional Cape meal in the Bo-Kaap.

02 Leeu Estates

Unwind in the winelands of Franschhoek, the gourmet capital of the Cape. Individually styled and luxuriously appointed, the suites at Leeu Estates inspire total relaxation in the heart of South Africa’s winelands. Sip world-class wines with a view of the vineyards they come from. Take in the breath-taking beauty of Franschhoek’s mountains. Indulge in gourmet cuisine. Retreat to the spa at Leeu Estates, an immersive wellness sanctuary set among the vineyards, or take to the Wine Studio for a lazy afternoon of wine tasting. Delight in the finer nuances of the premium wines on offer, presented by the estate’s knowledgeable hosts.

02 Wilderness Qorokwe

Wild, exquisite, immersive; welcome to Wilderness Qorokwe in Botswana. After your flight from Cape Town to Maun, your introduction to this exceptional country begins on your Wilderness Air transfer to Wilderness Qorokwe, where an abundance of wildlife and exquisite luxury awaits.



Wilderness Qorokwe borders the renowned Moremi Game Reserve, famous for exceptional predator-prey interactions. Prepare to be thrilled on game drives; buffaloes wallowing in the channels, abundant herds of elephants, hunting lions followed by bold hyenas. Back at camp, Wilderness Qorokwe’s eight tented suites invite blissful relaxation. Stroll along raised walkways to the opening dining and lounge area, a tranquil space to enjoy meal times. In the evening, gather round the flickering fire and recount the days’ adventures under the stars.

03 Wilderness Tubu Tree

Delight in a flight over the sinuous channels of the Okavango Delta on your transfer from Wilderness Qorokwe to Wilderness Tubu Tree. This intimate camp is set on the Okavango Delta’s Hunda Island, famous for its abundant wildlife and predator sightings in the west of the Jao Reserve. Here, the calls of fish eagles punctuate the day, while the sawing rasps of a leopard mark the night. Out with your Wilderness guide, glide past pods of hippos in a mokoro, track predators on game drives or try your hand at catch-and-release fishing.



In camp, rest your elbows on Tubu Tree’s bar, shaded by a spreading marula tree before retiring to your suite. Eight elegant tented suites are connected to the lounge areas by elevated wooden walkways, with glorious views across the wildlife-rich floodplains.
