South Africa

Each year we take a group of seven couples to the beautiful country of South Africa. Upon arrival in the Western Cape, we stay three nights at the oldest hotel in South Africa - Oude Werf. This luxury hotel is located in the heart of the quant wine town - Stellenbosch.

While in this area, we will play golf at DeZalze Golf Club, Steenburg Golf Club, and Pearl Valley, visit local wineries and dine in some of the areas favorite restaurants. Following our stay in Stellenbosch, we move to Cape Town for three nights where we will stay at the luxurious Queen Victoria Hotel.

Highlights of the Cape Town portion of our trip include a private food and walking tour, an excursion to the top of the majestic Table Mountain and shopping at the renowned Victoria & Alfred Waterfront shops

Following our time in Cape Town, we then travel by private charter flight to the 5 Star Madikwe Hills Lodge . Here we spend five magnificent nights in this malaria free park located in the Madikwe Game Reserve near the Botswana border.

Guests stay in private romantic and secluded suites with rich African textures. Wrap-around glass walled interiors with uninterrupted views of the surrounding bush, spectacular bathrooms with roll top baths as well as indoor and outdoor showers and a private pool and sun deck make the Madikwe Hills stay like no other in the world.

Game drives are in open vehicles specially designed to ensure comfort and safety. Qualified, professional and armed safari guides provide adventures through the African bush. Lion, elephant, black and white rhino, buffalo, and leopard are all here in abundance, as well as cheetah, giraffe and both spotted and brown hyena. Madikwe is also the one of the best places in Southern Africa to watch the elusive and rare wild dog, a fascinating species on the brink of extinction.
