Indulge in another wine tasting amid this village’s rich history, once favoured by notable figures like Napoleon and Edward VII. Lunch at a vineyard offers a delightful interlude (not included). Continue to Stellenbosch, the wine region’s historic heart, celebrated for its Dutch colonial architecture and fertile vineyards along the Eerste River. Wander Dorp Street’s blend of Cape Dutch, Georgian, and Victorian structures before a final wine tasting, concluding this immersive journey before returning to Cape Town.

Spend four nights at Chitwa Chitwa Game Lodge with all meals and safari activities included. Set beneath the sweeping branches of ancient Knobthorn trees, the lodge flows seamlessly into the bush. Expansive wooden decks, soft daybeds, and a breathtaking rim-flow pool invite you to slow down and soak in the stillness.

Chitwa Chitwa offers front-row seats to nature’s greatest spectacle. Here, the wild comes to you—elephants, antelope, and big cats wander to the water’s edge, visible right from the lodge’s elegant lounge, alfresco dining spaces, and your own private deck.

**Day 6 to 8: Kruger National Park**
Chitwa Chitwa offers early morning and late afternoon game drives as well as walking safaris with expert guides and trackers. Your eyes are opened to the wonders of the African bush, and the myriad of fascinating wildlife that inhabit it. The 5000 ha reserve is a habitat that is home to the highest and most diverse concentration of wildlife in the southern hemisphere. You will see all of Africa’s iconic species – lion leopard, rhino, elephant, buffalo, giraffe, hippo, and zebra – along with no less than 137 mammal species and over 450 varieties of bird.

For those moments between game drives, cool off in your suite’s private plunge pool, indulge in a quiet escape to the on-site library, reawaken your senses at the luxury spa, or share a peaceful workout with a view at the private gym.

Dining at Chitwa Chitwa is as much a culinary celebration as it is a social affair. Adding a unique touch to your meal is the chance to investigate the noteworthy underground wine cellar built around the natural granite rock floor.

Every exciting day in the bushveld ends perfectly with an evening under a sky of glimmering stars, and cosy crackles of warm fires.
