Explore the destinations featured on this journey
DAY 1 - 3

Cape Town

SOUTH AFRICA

Flanked by the Atlantic Ocean and the towering face of Table Mountain, Cape Town is a city shaped by contrast and color. Its neighborhoods—each with their own rhythms—unfold into bustling markets, heritage sites, and sweeping coastal roads. Here, you’ll ascend Table Mountain by cable car, trace the historic wine routes of Stellenbosch, and take in the layered stories of a city where nature and culture meet at every turn.

DAY 4 - 6

The Garden Route

SOUTH AFRICA

The Garden Route stretches along South Africa’s southern coast, a mosaic of forests, lagoons, and quiet seaside towns. In this region, you’ll cruise the Knysna lagoon, encounter wildlife in the semi-arid landscapes of Oudtshoorn, and play golf on fairways that wind between mountains and forest. Each day brings a new perspective—whether on the course, the Karoo, or along the coastline.

DAY 7 - 9

Shamwari Reserve

SOUTH AFRICA

Tucked into the Eastern Cape’s vast wilderness, Shamwari is one of South Africa’s most respected private game reserves. Here, you’ll set out on morning and evening game drives led by expert rangers, walk through the bush on guided nature outings, and visit pioneering conservation centers dedicated to wildlife rehabilitation and big cat rescue. This is safari in its truest form—immersive, unfiltered, and deeply connected to the land.

“The country is absolutely beautiful, but it is impossible to describe the way Premier Africa made a vacation into a once in a lifetime experience. From the moment we stepped off the plane in Cape Town, we were treated like family. From Zackie who is a walking/talking history book of the country to the magnificent Desi who orchestrated literally every element of the trip, their team was amazing. At each destination, we thought; ok, how will they top today? Somehow, they managed to do so.”

“
