THE EXPEDITION
Three Destinations.
The true essence of South Africa.
Mother Africa! It has long been a dream to share her magic with others in a way that very few people get to experience it. Now, we get to take you on an adventure of a lifetime.
There is not enough time in the world to fully see and feel everything South Africa has to offer, but we are going to give it a really good try over an action packed 13 days!
We have curated an itinerary with all of our favorite places to see, food to savor, and things to experience and we want you to come enjoy them with us!
"This is a once in a lifetime, bucket list adventure."
- Ryan

Your journey across South Africa
◯
CAMPS BAY, CAPE TOWN
We begin our journey where the Atlantic meets majestic mountains. Our private luxury villa sits above the iconic Clifton 1st beach. Panaromic views of the Twelve Apostles and breath taking sunsets await us from the infinity pool. Morning rituals, daily adventures and nourishing meals prepared by our private chef.
◎
SHINDZELA, SAFARI
An internal flight from Cape Town (included) drops us into the wild as we venture into the famous Kruger National Park. Think canvas tents under mosquito netting, a thatched lounge open to the bush, and game drives that put you face to face with BIG 5 game animals. A bush experience like this will change how you view nature forever.
◯
MONT ROCHELLE, FRANSCHHOEK
We close the journey slowly, in the Cape Winelands. Mont Rochelle is a Virgin Limited Edition estate set among 39 hectares of vineyard. This is where we integrate: wine tastings, mountain views from every window, and a final ceremony before we fly home.

THE JOURNEY
Expedition Map.
13 days, 3 destinations, 8 travelers, a life time of memories
6 days in Clifton, Cape Town
4 days in Shindzela, Safari
3 days in Mont Rochelle, Winelands
This type of journey is for those who still believe in adventure. Carefully mapped to lead you through the vibrant pulse of Cape Town and the majestic views of Table Mountain, a flight to the raw untamed heartbeat of "the bush" as they call Safari in South Africa, and a relaxation book end in wine country where the horizon stretches gold and endless.
By the time this journey ends, a piece of your heart will stay here and you'll already be planning your way back.
"A piece of your heart will stay here and you'll already be planning your way back."
DESTINATION ONE
Clifton Beach, Cape Town
Our villa, "A Little Piece of Heaven," lives up to its name, perched on the slopes of Lion's Head, gazing down over the turquoise waters of Clifton 1st Beach. Wake to panoramic views where mountain meets ocean, linger over sunsets that catch you off guard, and unwind each evening over meals crafted by our private chef. For one week, this will be home base and launchpad for daily adventures through the Mother City, along her wild peninsula, up her mountain trails, and across her sprawling white-sand beaches. Part sanctuary, part sensory awakening. This is an oasis of relaxation and inspiration, drawn straight from one of the most scenic corners of the earth.
7 DAYS | 7 NIGHTS
MARCH 16 - 23
DESTINATION TWO
Shindzela Bush Camp, Safari
Deep in the Timbavati region of Kruger National Park, Shindzela Bush Camp offers something increasingly rare...an authentic taste of the African wild, largely unchanged for millions of years. Deliberately fence-free, the camp was created so guests can truly feel the bush around them, day and night. This will be our home for three days of open-vehicle safari drives, wild bush walks, and quiet mornings spent far from the reach of the outside world. Here roam some of the most extraordinary animals on earth, including the legendary Big Five — once known to hunters as Africa's most formidable game, now simply the wild at its most magnificent.
4 DAYS | 3 NIGHTS
MARCH 23 - 26
DESTINATION THREE
Mont Rochelle, Franschhoek
We close this epic adventure in the storybook valleys of Franschhoek. First settled by French Huguenots seeking refuge centuries ago, the region has since become home to some of the world's most celebrated wines. Here, Mont Rochelle, a Virgin Limited Collection hotel set across 39 hectares of pristine vineyards offers the perfect final chapter. We slow down, savor a scenic wine-tram tasting through the estate, indulge in exceptional meals, and close out this journey together, with intention, gratitude, and reflection.
3 DAYS | 2 NIGHTS
