Anya’s Western Cape Adventure with Sanbona Wildlife & De Hoop Nature Reserve Dream Destinations Trip

12 Days

4 nights Cape Town | 3 nights Franschhoek | 2 nights Sanbona Wildlife Reserve | 2 nights De Hoop Nature Reserve

Our first visit to South Africa could not have been better!

We chose Pembury Tours and picked Anya as my agent after reading many good reviews.  She worked diligently and tirelessly with me to finalize the itinerary after many back and forth emails. She responded promptly each time.  She was flexible and provided good advice and exceptional service. Once in South Africa, Anya stayed in touch for the entire trip, ensuring all accommodations and transfers were successful.

Her choice of hotels and lodges, and other vendors, were first rate. We all had an unforgettable safari experience and also enjoyed the beauty of Cape Town very much.  We highly recommend Anya and Pembury Tours if you want personalized service.

Upon arrival at Cape Town International Airport from your International Flight, you are met by our representative and your travel documents will be handed to you. Once you have received your document, our representative will transfer you by road to hotel ideally located alongside the Victoria & Alfred Waterfront. Arrival at your hotel, you check into your Junior King Suite and the afternoon is at leisure.

Transfer time: Cape Town International Airport to The Commodore Hotel: approx. 40 minutes

Welcome to Cape Town, Mother City of Africa, and the Western Cape, an area which is regarded as one of the most beautiful regions in the world. Explore the Mother City and the Fairest Cape – from the oldest buildings in South Africa to trendy waterfront shopping; from majestic Table Mountain to sun drenched beaches; and from dramatic seascapes to verdant vineyards.

This morning is at leisure to enjoy breakfast at your hotel and any last minute shopping at the V&A Waterfront. You are met by your driver and transferred by road to your Guest House in the Village of Franschhoek.

Arriving at your Guest House, you are assisted to your Superior Room for your 3 night stay. You have time to settle in and the afternoon is at leisure to explore the Village or in the comfort of your room.

The village of Franschhoek is at the heart of the Franschhoek Wine Route and is surrounded by craggy mountains and verdant vineyards. Franschhoek village, South Africa’s “French Corner”, has a distinct French feel and is undoubtedly South Africa’s gourmet capital, with several of South Africa’s Top Ten restaurants. It is also filled with quirky shops.

Many of the 42 wine estates on the Franschhoek Wine Route offer informative guided wine-tastings to the public as well as cellar tours or tours of the vineyards. Some of them also make cheese, chocolate and olive oil and offer tastings of these products alongside their wines.

Many of them have on-site restaurants offering food that ranges from gastronomical delights to picnic hampers to enjoy under the oak trees. There is a hop-on hop- off Wine Tram, which visits some of these estates.

After you have enjoyed breakfast at your Guest House, you are met by your driver and transferred to your Luxury Wildlife Reserve in the Klein (Little) Karoo for your 2 night stay. Enjoy the scenic drive along the Route 62 from Franschhoek to the malaria-free game reserve nestled at the foot of the towering Warmwaterberg Mountain

Arriving at the Welcome Lounge in the Sanbona Wildlife Reserve, you are met by the staff members with a refreshing welcome drink before you transferred by game viewing vehicle to your lodge within the reserve. Arriving at your tented lodge, you are assisted to your tented suite for your 2 night stay.

There is time to settle into your suite before departing on your afternoon game activity. Returning to the lodge in the early evening, you enjoy dinner before retiring to your tented suite for the evening.

Transfer time: Maison Chablis to Sanbona Wildlife Reserve: approx. 2 ½ hour

Seated at the foot of the Warmwaterberg Mountain Range in the heart of the Little Karoo, Sanbona pays tribute to the San people who made this arid environment their home for centuries. Sanbona has an alluring atmosphere of stillness, an air of isolation amid the raw beauty and boundless plains.

After your final morning game drive and brunch, you bid farewell to this African Wonderland. Your driver will meet you at the Welcome Lounge and transfer you by road to your Village in the De Hoop Nature Reserve
