Ultra Luxury South Africa Holidays
In Cape Town, cosmopolitan energy meets raw natural drama. Stroll the V&A Waterfront, summit Table Mountain and visit Boulders Beach where penguins’ parade along powdery shores. Just beyond the city, the Cape Winelands invite you to slow down. Discover historic vineyards, gourmet farm-to-table restaurants and curated wine tastings, all wrapped in cinematic mountain views.
Wildlife lovers are spoiled for choice. Head to the Greater Kruger area, home to Royal Malewane and many more of South Africa’s most exclusive lodges. Here, the Big Five roam freely and safari comes with private plunge pools, fine dining and stories by the fire. Every game drive is a masterclass in nature, led by some of the most experienced trackers in Africa.
Along the coast, the experiences are just as thrilling. From June to November, Hermanus offers front-row seats to southern right whales breaching just offshore. For those with a wilder streak, shark cage diving in Gansbaai gets you up close with great whites in an adrenaline-fuelled encounter that’s not for the faint-hearted.
Whether you're seeking romantic escapes, multi-generational adventures or a bucket-list trip that blends it all, South Africa has the range and richness to deliver. It’s a country where you can do it all — and still have time for a sundowner. From gourmet dining to untamed wildlife, barefoot beach walks to high-end safari stays, South Africa is the ultimate all-in-one adventure.

South Africa In A Nutshell
With over 1,700 miles of coastline, South Africa is home to some of the world’s most exclusive beaches. For ultimate seclusion and hypnotic views, head to the lesser-known Coffee Bay in the Eastern Cape, about half a day’s drive from Durban. Alongside its pristine shoreline, you’ll find the striking natural rock formation known as the Hole in the Wall.
Looking for something playful and wildly unique? Grab your camera and visit Boulders Beach near Cape Town, home to a colony of African Penguins. These charismatic locals waddle freely along the sand and even share the shallows with swimmers. The beach is partially protected to preserve nesting grounds, but visitors can still enjoy close-up moments with these charming seabirds.
For a classic beach day with a luxury twist, make your way to Clifton’s four beaches in the Western Cape. Named simply Clifton 1 through 4, each beach has its own character — from dog walkers and sunbathers to Cape Town’s stylish elite. Expect white sands, turquoise waves and sunshine, with top-tier bars and restaurants just steps away.
Adventure Awaits
Thrill-seekers can take on the world’s highest commercial bridge bungee at Bloukrans Bridge in the Eastern Cape, plunging more than 200 metres into a dramatic canyon. Prefer to watch? Settle into the nearby bar and view the action live on-screen.
For something gentler, the Storms River Canopy Tour offers treetop zip-lining with incredible forest views — perfect for families and first-timers aged seven and up.
Cape Town’s marine world offers up-close shark diving with great whites. With top safety ratings and award-winning guides, it’s an adrenaline rush like no other and a true South African rite of passage.
Don’t Forget Your Kit
Surfers, grab your wetsuits. South Africa’s cross-current oceans and iconic beaches, like Jeffreys Bay in the Eastern Cape, make it a global hotspot for waves, festivals and competitions.
For slower-paced adventure, kayak the Orange River in the Northern Cape. These four-day guided journeys include gourmet meals, fireside stories and nights under the stars. Expect riverbed treasure hunts for semi-precious stones and fun-filled ‘nappy runs’ through the rapids.
If diving’s more your style, head to Sodwana Bay in KwaZulu-Natal. With warm water, vibrant marine life and year-round sunshine, it’s one of the best dive spots in the southern hemisphere — no effort, all reward.
