South Africa Luxury & Beyond Vacations
Why is South Africa a great place for luxury & beyond travellers?
It’s easy to think of South Africa when searching for a luxury or ultimate destination to discover! Exquisite 5-star hotels and lodges exist throughout the country and experiences such as Luxury Rail, one-of-a-kind dining experiences and top-of-the-line transport vehicles plus private guided excursions all make for a truly luxury and beyond-the-vacation. Right down to the finest and last detail, our Destination Experts can create the perfect, custom itinerary that encompasses all that South Africa has to offer.
What are the top activities for luxury & beyond in South Africa?
Rovos Rail offers the ultimate luxury rail journey, with itineraries that range from a 2-night to a 4-night experience (inclusive of Vic Falls, Zimbabwe) and offers 3 different categories in accommodation. This is the ultimate “sit back and relax” way to experience a small part of South Africa, in luxury.
South Africa offers several “Stay of Distinction” itineraries, often combining 2 or 3 destinations and offering the level of comfort and luxury our distinguished travellers are looking for. Nothing beats a private, luxury lodge suite or tent, with all the amenities, and service you’d expect. Enjoy a private helicopter ride around Cape Town, a private champagne sundown yacht experience from the V&A Waterfront or spend a few nights in either the Winelands or Grootbos. The Cape Heli-Harley experience is not to be missed either!
