South Africa

From Cape Town to the game reserves in the north and everything in between – there is much to see.

Cape Town’s waterfront is teeming with super restaurants and the best shopping. Stay in one of our favorite 5* properties in the waterfront or head out of the city a short distance to brilliant properties on Chapman’s Peak Drive overlooking the Atlantic. The wine country not only offers the opportunity to taste some impressive vintages but the countryside is beautiful with charming little towns for antiquing and al fresco luncheons. Make it a day trip or an overnight – the choice is yours.

Enjoy some of the best game viewing in the world with luxury tented accommodation offering superb dining and renowned South African wines. No need for a telephoto lens as you ride in comfort in your open land rover – that’s how close you will be to not only the Big Five but so many other species, large and small. For a closer look at fauna and flora there is always the option of a guided bush walk and the bush breakfasts and dinners are sumptuous.

For those who enjoy rail travel, view dramatic scenery while riding in grand style on either Rovos Rail or the Blue Train. You will be taken back to a far more civilized and relaxed era and see parts of the country’s inland not possible by any other means.

Get in Touch

Esplanade arranged a wonderful New Zealand adventure for my wife and myself in 2020…just a couple of months prior to Covid shutting down the world! During this difficult time for the planet, the staff from Esplanade continued to reach out to us on how they recommended we deal with our travel plans and the expenditures we had previously committed to. They continuously updated our travel plans and made all the necessary adjustments to our itineraries. Almost three years to the day later, we were able to enjoy our New Zealand trip. The reservations, excursions, and overall recommendations made by Esplanade were fantastic! We commented several times that their commitment to the smallest of details was very apparent. Our flights were perfectly spaced, our drivers all showed up on time, and our accommodations and excursions were beyond expectations. We now plan on trusting Esplanade for our future travels to Africa and Europe. We cannot recommend them more.
