How it works

  • Beginning with a legendary Blue Train journey to sparkling Cape Town, followed by a self-drive journey along the dazzling Garden Route, this 10 day holiday in one of the most beautiful regions of South Africa will leave you feeling completely rejuvenated.
     
  • Your journey begins with the unparalleled grace, comfort and elegance of The Blue Train from Pretoria to Cape Town.  Passing by renowned landmarks and through spectacular scenery, you’ll wake up refreshed amidst the vineyards and orchards, as the train winds through the mountains of the Cape into Cape Town.

 

  • In Cape Town you will spend 3 luxurious nights at the superb Mount Nelson Hotel – another legend of the African continent, the hotel is located in the heart of the city centre - a short stroll from the city's museum mile.
     
  • On Day 5 of your itinerary, you’ll journey to George in the heart of the Southern Cape and Garden Route.  You’ll be staying in the Phantom Forest Eco Reserve located on the edge of the Knysna lagoon in lush forest and your accommodation for 3 nights will be a stunning 'Tree Suite' wth stunning glass-end gables and a bathroom overlooking the forest. 
     
  • The eco reserve, built with sustainable methods of construction in mind, is home to bushbuck, grysbok, the rare blue duiker and some 150 bird species.  While you are here, you’ll enjoy a couple of very special dinners: one in the Boma, and on your last night, it’s a unique Moroccan Chutzpah!    We’re also throwing in two pampering spa treatments in the Body Boma and a delicious Oyster lunch in the heart of the forest.
     
  • Next stop is Port Elizabeth and this is where you will escape to the tranquil natural beauty found at River Bend Lodge.
     
  • Anchored on endless horizons and flanked by the Zuurberg Mountains, River Bend Lodge is situated within a 14 000 hectare private concession area of the Addo Elephant National Park.  It’s the perfect spot for your final two nights along South Africa’s lush Garden Route before returning home, relaxed, dazzled and let’s face it: the envy of us all back home!
