Discover dramatic coastal scenery and world-class wine while staying in premium accommodation

Encompassing some of the most majestic scenery in Africa, the journey between Port Elizabeth and Cape Town ranks among the finest coastal routes in the world. Pristine beaches, dramatic cliffs and gorges, fairytale forests and lively seaside towns adorn this shoreline. Starting at the secluded Amakhala Safari Lodge, game drives in the vast reserve will be complemented with time to relax in your private plunge pool. Along the way, we sample local wines and cuisine in Stellenbosch, look out for southern right whales as they come close to shore (in season) and enjoy nature walks to discover the abundant flora and fauna of South Africa. Our adventure ends at the stylish Ocean View House, the perfect place to relax and take in magnificent Cape Town.
