ITINERARY IN DETAIL
As the sun descends, embark on an exhilarating game drive, accompanied by your private guide, and witness the wilderness awakening at twilight. Your evening will culminate in a magical bush dinner in a secluded spot under a star-studded sky, where the crackling fire, sounds of the nocturnal wildlife and evocative atmosphere create an unforgettable experience.
Adventurous family members can set out at dawn on foot to explore the intricacies of the bush, immersing yourself in the sights, sounds and scents of Thornybush Game Reserve. With every step, your senses are heightened as you encounter the smaller wonders of nature, gaining a deeper appreciation for the delicate balance of the ecosystem.
We can arrange for you to spend time in a local village or visit a community project near The Farmhouse, where you can engage with residents and gain insight into their traditions and customs. Through meaningful interactions and shared experiences, you develop a deeper understanding of the rich tapestry of African culture.
One evening at The Farmhouse, gather around the campfire for an evening of storytelling, where local guides regale you with captivating tales of African folklore and wildlife encounters. Against the backdrop of the flickering flames, you will share laughter and camaraderie, creating memories that will last a lifetime.
Depending on the children’s ages, we can arrange a fun-filled treasure hunt through the scenic Mont Rochelle Nature Reserve, situated in the beautiful Franschhoek Mountains. Boasting spectacular vistas over the Franschhoek Valley, the reserve is home to small animals, fynbos and a diversity of plant life.
Hop on a bike and cycle along the Sea Point Promenade on a treasure hunt, using a map to follow in the footsteps of a San Bushman, Cape Town’s earliest inhabitants. The cycling is suitable for all ages, and a bike-trailer can be used for the littlest of explorers.
Testimonials
The trip was put together at the last minute with lots of valuable insights from Melissa. She went the extra mile to make sure we were happy. She never pushed or promoted any single idea. She even arranged meet and greet at Johannesburg to help with the transit. A really amazing experience.
We enjoyed a truly personal, tailor-made safari designed especially for us by Destination Expert, Melissa. She helped make our wedding anniversary celebrations an unforgettable experience.
We were really well supported from start to finish on our trip of a lifetime. She planned a brilliant itinerary for us using her knowledge of the various safari lodges in South Africa that would suit us. Melissa and the team at cazenove+loyd adapted our plans at very short notice, late at night, when our plane from London to Johannesburg was delayed for 24 hours, meaning we would have been stranded at Johannesburg Airport at 2am in the morning and would have missed our onward connecting flight. The team quickly and seamlessly booked us an airport hotel in Johannesburg and rescheduled our connecting flight. It was so reassuring that they were able to respond to a phone call during out-of-office hours. Along the journey, as a couple of decrepit pensioners, we were very well taken care of. Melissa arranged meet-and-greet facilities at every stage and wheel-chair assistance was provided all along the journey. We have travelled with many travel agencies over the years, but this company is, by far, the most attentive, experienced and helpful, and it has been an absolute pleasure to work with them. We will definitely be asking them to tailor-make another holiday for us and we have no hesitation in recommending them to anyone else.
An exceptional taste of South Africa's Garden Route and Cape Town, with fabulous boutique hotels along the way. Exactly what we'd hoped for. Thank you, cazenove+loyd.
The team put together a fantastic 10-day family vacation for us in South Africa. Not only did they build the trip within our budget, but every detail was considered. When there were some issues during the trip, the team at cazenove+loyd responded immediately and made sure we were well taken care of. Over the years, I have worked with a number of travel agencies, and this company is, by far, the most attentive – and a true pleasure to work with.
I just wanted to let you know that this trip was everything we could have asked for and more. The lodges and guides were outstanding all the way through and we learnt so much and had a fabulous time. Our guide in Cape Town, Charlene, was especially outstanding and went way beyond the pale to show us the beauty and complexity of South Africa. We were very moved by our experience and overjoyed by our choice to travel with cazenove+loyd.
