South Africa Safari, Relais & Châteaux Style

CAPE TOWN
Discover the legendary city of Cape Town, a compelling city that leaves no one indifferent.

It was this bay “at the end of the world” that Sir John Ellerman, an English lord and heir to the greatest maritime fortune of the 19th century, chose to fulfil his dream of quiet and privacy. Located in Bantry Bay, just 10 minutes from downtown Cape Town and the beaches of Clifton, this address of bygone splendour enjoys a striking view over the ocean.

This family residence has preserved its intimacy and offers guests two distinct worlds: the hushed atmosphere and Victorian décor of Ellerman House, or the contemporary art gallery style of Ellerman Villa.

Over 3 nights at this charming address, all the great pleasures of the Cape region will be within reach: gourmet cuisine, fine South African wines, an impressive collection of South African art, and nearby, numerous sights to discover: Table Mountain, Hout Bay and its seals, Simon’s Town and its penguin colony, the Cape of Good Hope, the wine route, and Hermanus and its whales.

SABI SAND PRIVATE RESERVE
After a regional flight to Kruger airport, followed by a light aircraft transfer to the Londolozi airstrip, you arrive at the heart of the Londolozi concession, within the Sabi Sand private reserve, the most renowned in the Kruger region.

Londolozi spans a wide stretch of land covering 14,000 hectares, crossed by flora and rivers. Safaris here are exceptional throughout the year.

The first South African lodge to join the Relais & Châteaux circle in 1993, Londolozi comprises 5 luxurious camps scattered across its territory. For over 70 years, the Varty family has shared the magic of the safari experience with its guests.

Londolozi Tree Camp is a lodge of the highest luxury, and its small capacity ensures personalised, high-quality service: just 6 magnificent suites at Londolozi Tree Camp. Warm colours and dark wood give Londolozi Tree Camp a welcoming atmosphere. The vast suites feature large bay windows overlooking the surrounding wilderness. Their modern décor is paired with exceptional comfort: a spacious bathroom with bathtub, indoor and outdoor showers, a private pool…
Children under 16 are not admitted at Tree Camp, ensuring peace and quiet.

At dawn, aboard open 4x4s and under the guidance of experienced guides, you will set off in search of thrills and powerful emotions, tracking Africa’s great animals.

Back at the lodge, a hearty breakfast will delight your palate and restore your energy before heading out for a possible guided walk in the bush.

After a delicious meal, a gentle nap and a dip in your private pool, you will set off again for unforgettable wild moments, sharing traditions and experiences with your guides.

In the evening, around a pleasant campfire, on the terrace or in the elegant dining room, you will enjoy sharing stories of the exhilarating visual tracking of animals, while tasting fine South African wines to delight even the most discerning palates.
