Table Mountain and Cape Town at sunset

Journeys

Safari first, then the rest of it.

Four journeys we build most often. Each is a starting point — we move the nights around until it fits you.

Every journey below is privately guided end to end: one host, one invoice, and every internal flight, transfer and lodge arranged by us. Each is a starting shape rather than a fixed departure — we move nights, lodges and regions around to fit your dates and costs it against them on enquiry.

  • Nights 5–8Cape Town — Table Mountain at dawn, the Peninsula, Bo-Kaap and a chef's table.

Ways to travel

What fills the days between drives

Chosen with you when we draft the itinerary, not bolted on afterwards.

Wildlife & marine

Whales off Hermanus, penguins at Boulders, sharks and seabirds off the Atlantic seaboard.

Wine & food

Cellar tastings with winemakers, Cape Malay kitchens, and the odd two-hour lunch that becomes the day.

Culture & history

Bo-Kaap, Robben Island, District Six — guided by people who lived it.

Walking & adventure

Lion's Head at dawn, kayaking under the Twelve Apostles, walking safaris with a trails guide.

Art & design

Zeitz MOCAA, the Dylan Lewis garden, Woodstock studios and private collections.

Conservation

Rhino monitoring, penguin rehabilitation, and camps that fund the reserves they sit in.

Slow days

Deliberately empty afternoons. The best trips we plan have at least two.

Celebrations

Honeymoons, milestone birthdays, family reunions — arranged quietly and properly.
