Fabulous Ladies Luxury South Africa: Wine, Diamonds & Safari

This Luxe Wine, Diamonds & Safari Getaway is defined by extraordinary experiences, magnificent wines, beautiful wineries and the fabulous women who shape them plus the warm hospitality of South Africa.  Not to mention luxury stays and the ability to immerse yourself into one of the most extraordinary destinations on earth.

Set at the confluence of the Indian and Atlantic oceans and backed by the iconic Table Mountain, the bustling city of Cape Town presents an alluring combination of drawcards. Incredible powdery white beaches, highly acclaimed wine routes, and astonishingly beautiful mountain trails surround a cosmopolitan hub. This diverse metropolis is filled with superb shops and restaurants, extraordinary heritage monuments, a multitude of entertainment venues, and a spectacular, chic waterfront harbour. Highlights include the Zeitz Museum of Contemporary African Art; Table Mountain’s jaw-dropping views; Boulders Beach, where penguins might swim right up to you in the warm Indian ocean waters; the Kirstenbosch Botanical Gardens, where you can walk along a treetop canopy among incredible native flora or watch an open-air concert at the base of the mountain; Robben Island, where visitors can see the cell where Nelson Mandela was imprisoned for 18 years; and many more.

Situated just 140 kilometres from Cape Town and built between the beautiful shores of Walker Bay, Hermanus has grown from a small seaside resort town to become arguably the best-known place for whale watching in the world. This town is also famed for its natural scenic beauty, featuring long stretches of pristine beaches. An excellent variety of restaurants, cafes and bars are also on offer. Today, Hermanus is more than just a popular holiday destination and offers visitors all kinds of activities, both energetic and relaxing. Visitors can explore the Old Harbour Museum, which is comprised of the charming fisherman’s village, the old harbour, and the Whale House Museum; hike through the nearby Fernkloof Nature Reserve, and sample an array of top-quality wine along the famous Hermanus Wine Route.

Just over an hour from Cape Town, within the inspiring landscapes of the Cape Winelands, Franschhoek is a heritage town and a world-renowned food and wine destination. Travellers could choose to focus their visit on any one aspect alone – nature, cuisine or culture – and find plenty to keep them busy. The estates here attract wine experts from around the globe with their Shiraz, Cabernet Sauvignon, and Cap Classique sparkling wine (among others). Five-star restaurants alongside the cellars are surrounded by the same jaw-dropping valley scenes that have brought artists and writers to the area for centuries. A superb literary festival takes place around May every year, and, combined with the town’s Cape Dutch manor houses, fascinating museums, and charming boutiques, makes Franschhoek a wonderful place to visit in winter. Summer provides endless hiking, cycling and other outdoor opportunities among the lush farmlands and mountains.

Londolozi Game Reserve, a sanctuary named after its Zulu meaning “Protector Of All Living Things,” nestles gracefully along the banks of the Sand River within the captivating Sabi Sands Game Reserve. Situated on the western border of the renowned Kruger National Park, this exquisite reserve offers an exclusive haven for wildlife enthusiasts. Experience a range of safari activities, including interpretive Big Five safaris, thrilling bush walks, and captivating night game drives. Encounter majestic creatures like elephants, lions, rhinos, buffalos, cheetahs, giraffes, zebras, and an array of antelope species.

Day 5 – Wednesday 18:  To Hermanus we go…

Begin the day with the Dylan Lewis Sculpture Guided Garden walk.  In this garden of private myth, the artist explores the Jungian notion of ‘the wilderness within’. More than 60 sculptures constituting a comprehensive record of his artistic development thus far have been carefully sited along 4 kilometres of paths.  The garden focuses on indigenous species, particularly fynbos. Although planted to give year-round colour, it peaks in July and August into September, when its many buchus and ericas are in fragrant flower.

Then time take a drive over the mountains and through fertile farmlands, with a stop at a local ‘farm stall’ en route toBot Rivier.

Proceed direct to Hemel-En-Aarde Valley.  Visit with Olive Hamilton Russell at the Hamilton Russell Estate.  A light farm-style lunch will be enjoyed on the farm.

Dinner is in house at the hotel tonight.

This morning we depart the hotel to meet winemaker Ronell Wiid at Bartinney Estate.  Enjoy a unique Cape Fynbos and Wine Tasting.The multi-sensory tasting changes your perceptions of the wines and highlights the estate’s ongoing commitment to conserving the unique Cape biodiversity.

A short drive sees us arrive at Delaire Graff – to view Diamonds, Gardens, Art & Savour Wine. The Estate is known as the ‘Jewel of the Cape Winelands’.  Much like polishing a diamond to reveal its brilliance, jeweller Laurence Graff has transformed an extraordinary natural setting into a world-class destination for wine, art and cuisine.

Take in the Graff Boutique – meticulously crafted jewels from the Butterfly, Spiral, Threads and Classic Graff collections are positioned alongside luxury timepieces in Africa’s first Graff boutique.

Enjoy a tutored tasting of the estate’s wines on the spacious terrace, encircled by dramatic mountain views.  To enhance your experience, enjoy a selection of platters featuring locally produced cheeses and charcuterie.

After your wine experience, wander the Estate gardens. Spectacularly in bloom every day of the year, the Estate acts as an incredible backdrop for art and sculpture, where Laurence Graff’s personal collection is a carefully curated to showcase South Africa’s finest contemporary artists.

In the afternoon we proceed to the small suburb of Pniel, which is quite the contrast to Delaire.  Here we meet Jane Lello and Rose Kruger at Stellekaya.  Stellekaya is a privately owned boutique wine producer. Their cellar is in the middle of Stellenbosch and all grapes are sourced from the area. They focus on producing noble red wine varietals.

Set within 3,5 hectares (8 acres) of cultivated fruit and vegetables, the big garden at Babylonstoren is at the heart of the farm. It was inspired by the historic Company’s Garden in Cape Town, which supplied sailing ships of the Dutch East India Company with fresh vegetables and fruit during the days when the Cape was a halfway station between Europe and Asia. But we also link back to the mythological hanging gardens of Babylon. Those were thought to have been created by Nebuchadnezzar in the sixth century BC, for his wife who longed for the mountains and valleys of her youth.

We continue on through Stellenbosch town and then meet Thea at Jordan Wines.  Enjoy a guided tour through the wine cellar explaining the winemaking process and what makes Jordan Wines Estate so unique and a vineyard safari.

Lunch today will be a picnic at Jordan wines.

We then continue to Mitre’s Edge Wine Estate and meet winemaker Lola Nicholls.The family-owned and managed boutique winery focuses on red wines and Bordeaux style blends. It was in 1999 that Bernard and Lola Nicholls took over the farm from Lola’s father, Martin Hunting, who had farmed there since 1969.

Return to your Hotel to relax and get ready for a delicious dinner this evening.

Dinner tonight is at Rust en Vrede Estate for a food and wine matched experience – this dining experience can be heightened by the combination of outstanding wine with excellent food. The restaurant is housed in the Estate’s original cellar, a historic monument which has been transformed into a sophisticated yet relaxing fine-dining setting.

Meet your Lodge hosts and settle in.

Enjoy afternoon tea and then set off on your first safari drive with your ranger and tracker.

With nearly 100 years of experience, Londolozi embodies the best of all the inclusive, high-end experience you could look for in one of the best, if not THE best African safari destination on the continent.

As Londolozi’s original camp, Varty embraces the conservation principles of generations of the Varty and Taylor families, dedicated to providing a sanctuary for wild life. Varty Camp’s central thatched living area overlooks the magnificent Sand River, where you can relax in comfort while you take in the views. The living spaces are positioned under the shade of trees, raised off the ground by wooden platforms. The camp’s holistic approach to an African safari means that there are many things to keep you occupied both in camp and out in the bush.

From massages and reading a book from the library, to watching passing wildlife from the deck or swimming pool. The camp offers several different game viewing opportunities. Game drives and walking safaris guided by experienced rangers and trackers will give you the opportunity to view the Big 5, and star-gazing and bird watching is a great way to simply admire this beautiful area.

No two days are the same while on safari at Londolozi and your experience is tailored to suit individual preferences and expectations. Still, there is a certain rhythm and pace to the experience that stirs a sense of homecoming on repeat visits and a pleasing sense of order for first time bushveld visitors.

Life at Londolozi is dictated by the seasons; the vegetation and the animal behaviour shift with the rains of summer and the chill of winter. What is unchanging is the warmth of the welcome by your camp manager and the opportunity to experience a deep and authentic connection with the natural world.

Game drives at Londolozi are taken by professional, passionate and knowledgeable rangers and trackers, who have 350 years of experience between them. With over 34,000 acres of traversing wilderness, no two game drives are ever the same.

This is a rough guideline of what to expect during the summer season. Each safari experience is tailor-made and may differ from day to day.

The day begins with a dawn chorus of birdsong and the haunting calls of Fish Eagles, air rich with the night flowers’ perfume and a delightfully cool temperature.

The Marine Hotel:

The Marine is one of South Africa’s most spectacular seaside hotels.

Londolozi:

Londolozi Varty Camp:

This original camp is a tapestry of brick paths, dolerite rock walls, waterfalls and tangled vines echoing simple spaces with unencumbered river view backdrops. The tones of the camp reflect the owners’ almost 100-year love affair with this land and therefore place an emphasis on family and heritage.

With 10 private chalets, the lodge is situated on the Sand River in the very heart of the Sabi Sand Game Reserve. This reserve forms part of the Greater Limpopo Transfrontier Park, a growing area that currently covers six million acres and incorporates the famous Kruger National Park. Wild animals move freely across this vast space, offering spectacular game viewing and a true wilderness experience.

Breeding herds of elephant and buffalo roam throughout Londolozi, while white rhino and lion concentrations are among the highest recorded on the African continent. Yet it’s the leopards of Londolozi that make us world famous for wildlife, and lie at the heart of the Londolozi feeling. Over the course of more than four decades, a unique relationship has developed between our rangers and trackers and generations of wild leopards. Intimate leopard sightings are frequent here, an experience that our guests agree is a pinnacle life experience.
