In the Western Cape and want to see the Big Five? If you’re looking for a real Wild Safari experience where animals are running wild, then these may not be for you. Nevertheless, just a short 2-hour scenic drive from Cape Town, these reserves are the most convenient for visitors to the Western Cape wanting game drives and luxurious accommodation.

Winter is coming to the Winelands, and while most people think that travelling in the winter is not a great idea, we disagree. There are countless things that one can do in the Winelands during the winter season, here is how we recommend you relax and get cosy.

Discovering Stellenbosch

Renowned worldwide for its superb wines, a trip to Stellenbosch would not be complete without a tour to some of its 200 wine farms. But wine is not all Stellenbosch has to offer; as the second oldest settlement in South Africa, Stellenbosch also has a long and interesting history. And in recent times Stellenbosch has established itself as one of the leading art destinations in South Africa.

With a variety of tours available, visitors can completely immerse themselves in Stellenbosch’s diverse charms. With full day wine tours, guided hikes, art walks, historical cycling tours and adventure activities, we have a tour to suit everyone!
