The Best of South Africa's Western Cape and Mauritius

Cradled by the sublime Table Mountain National Park, Cape Town offers a unique fusion of cultures and landscapes, providing visitors with equal doses of adventurous activities along with high-class nightlife. 

During your 4 nights stay here you can choose from a wealth of things to do: grab your camera and take a cable car ride to Table Mountain for impressive views across the ocean; visit the iconic penguin colony of Boulder Beach; stroll along the V&A Waterfront and visit the many shops and eateries; wander through the Kirstenbosch National Botanical Garden and be mesmerised by the impressive array of flora. If you're interested in adding any of these activities to your itinerary then your Luxury Travel specialist will be able to organise this for you. 

Perfectly placed to see the “Marine Big 5”, Grootbos Private Nature Reserve offers you the opportunity to experience privileged encounters with whales, sharks, dolphins, seals and penguins as they feed, frolic and play. 

With boat trips led by experienced marine biologists and guides, you'll be completely immersed in South Africa's beautiful coastline as you pass right alongside Southern Right Whales, Great White Sharks and Bottlenose Dolphins as they play in the surf right alongside the boat. In between your ocean adventures you'll also be able to explore the reserve on nature drives, Fynbos tours, bush-hikes, beach trips, and cave explorations.

Regarded as one of the world’s most beautiful wine valleys, Franschhoek has more than 300 years of French heritage, seen in its dedication to quality winemaking and its fine restaurants. 

Visiting more than forty extraordinary wine cellars, your time in Franschhoek will be one of indulgence and relaxation; you can enjoy perusing the shops and art galleries that line the quaint main street, and hike around the picturesque valley for some wonderful views. There is not only a wine route to discover by tram, but the region is also famous for its olive, chocolate, and charcuterie production, which makes for a fine day out.

With a tropical landscape that's seemingly plucked straight from your imagination, Mauritius is pure paradise on Earth, its balmy weather and endless blue skies making this the ideal destination for a relaxing beach holiday. 

Staying at Shanti Maurice Resort & Spa, you'll benefit from being just steps away from a white, sandy beach with crystal-clear turquoise water. Whether you want to spend your days lounging on the beach, experiencing watersports such as kayaking and snorkelling, escaping to the spa or hiking through the island's lush forests, you're guaranteed to make memories that will last a lifetime.
