Enquire about this journey

You land in Cape Town. From there, you're in our hands. This itinerary takes you from the vineyards of the Cape Winelands, into the heart of the African bush on safari, and out to the white sands of Mauritius — with every transfer, flight connection, and lodge booked and confirmed before you ever leave home.

Three destinations. Zero logistics to worry about.

Met at arrival

Our transfer partners meet you at Cape Town International — from that moment, you're not managing anything yourself.

Paced for how people actually travel

Cape Town first to settle in, safari in the middle when you're rested, Mauritius last to properly unwind before you fly home.

One point of contact

A single team coordinating the whole journey, not three separate bookings you're stitching together.

How the journey unfolds

Day 1

Arrival in Cape Town

You'll land at Cape Town International, where our transfer agency will be waiting to take you to your hotel. No queues to figure out, no arranging your own ride — just arrive, and we'll take it from there.

3 nights

Cape Town & the Winelands

You'll spend these three nights at Cellars-Hohenort in Constantia — a country estate set among rose gardens and vineyards at the foot of the mountain, with the easy elegance of an old Cape Dutch homestead. From here, Cape Town's landmarks and the Winelands are both within easy reach.

On one of your first two days, choose between a City Sightseeing hop-on-hop-off bus tour paired with the Table Mountain cable car, taking in the city bowl, Camps Bay, and the V&A Waterfront at your own pace — or head straight into the Cape Winelands for the day, through Stellenbosch and Franschhoek, for wine tastings and a long lunch among the vineyards. Whichever you don't do on day 2, you're welcome to fit in on day 3 instead.

City Sightseeing bus & Table Mountain cable car combo can be scheduled for either day 2 or day 3 — whichever suits your pace.
3 nights

Londolozi, Sabi Sand Private Game Reserve

A same-day connection takes you from Cape Town straight into the bush: Airlink's Lodge Link service flies you from Cape Town to Skukuza, departing at 10h30 and arriving at 12h55, followed by a short onward flight from Skukuza to Londolozi Airstrip, departing 14h30 and arriving 14h55, where you'll be met and driven straight to camp. Few names in African safari carry Londolozi's weight: the first reserve in the world to earn Relais & Châteaux status, spread across five distinct camps on the banks of the Sand River, unfenced against Kruger itself.

Days here move between off-road tracking with some of the finest rangers and trackers on the continent — Londolozi's leopard sightings are legendary — and long, unhurried hours back at camp: a spa treatment, a bush walk, or simply the view over the river. It is luxury that never once loses its sense of wilderness.

Outbound: Airlink Lodge Link, Cape Town–Skukuza departing 10h30, arriving 12h55, connecting to Skukuza–Londolozi departing 14h30, arriving 14h55. Return: private Fedair charter, LDZ–JNB departing 12h45, arriving 13h50 — timed to connect straight into your Johannesburg stopover.
1 night

Johannesburg stopover

After a final morning game drive, a private Fedair charter returns you to Johannesburg, landing at 13h50, where you'll overnight at the InterContinental OR Tambo Airport Hotel. It's a deliberate buffer, not a gap — it protects your international connection to Mauritius the next day from any delay along the way.

5 nights

Mauritius

From safari, you'll connect via Johannesburg to Mauritius, where the pace changes entirely. Five nights at a beachfront resort — snorkeling over the reef, a catamaran cruise, spa time, and plenty of unstructured days to simply be still before you head home.

Prefer Zanzibar instead? Just let us know — we can build this same journey around either island.
Day 12/13

Journey's end

The package concludes in Johannesburg, where you'll connect onward to your international flight home.

Departing from Cape Town instead? We can route the final leg back to CPT to suit your ticket.

Good to know

Does this package include international flights?

No — this itinerary is priced land only, starting and ending in South Africa. We're happy to help you find the best routing and fares from your home city, or you're welcome to book these yourself.

Where does the journey start and end?

The journey begins the moment you land at Cape Town International, where you'll be met by our transfer partners. It concludes in Johannesburg, ready to connect with your international flight home. If your ticket departs from Cape Town instead, we can adjust the final leg to bring you back there.

Do I need to book my own flights within the itinerary?

No — every flight between destinations within the journey (Cape Town to Skukuza and on to Londolozi, the private Fedair charter back to Johannesburg, and on to Mauritius) is arranged for you as part of the package.

Can I choose Zanzibar instead of Mauritius?

Yes. Mauritius is our recommended default, but this journey can be built around Zanzibar if you'd prefer — just mention it when you enquire.

How much free time is there?

The Cape Town and Mauritius legs both include unstructured time. Safari days are more structured around game drive schedules, which are set by the lodge for the best wildlife viewing.
