ITINERARY IN DETAIL

Embark on a serene kayak excursion on the lagoon at Coot Club, with the majestic Maanschynkop mountains as your backdrop. Glide quietly alongside crested coots and yellow-billed ducks for a tranquil water adventure. For the adventurous, stand-up paddleboards are also available, offering a thrilling way to explore the scenic beauty of the surroundings.

From the dunes of Walker Bay Beach, witness the majestic giants of the sea during the seasonal migration (July – September). Marvel at their graceful movements as they breach and play in the waves. It’s a breathtaking spectacle that adds to the natural beauty and allure of Coot Club’s coastal location.

Indulge in an exquisite wine tasting experience at La Clé in Franschhoek. Sample a selection of premium wines while soaking in the picturesque vineyard views. Expert guides lead you through the tasting, sharing insights into the region’s winemaking heritage. Savor each sip of the finest wines, complemented by delicious gourmet bites.

Immerse yourself in the serenity of La Clé des Montagnes with a private picnic. Nestled beneath ancient trees, a lush blanket beckons, adorned with artisanal treats: crusty breads, aged cheeses, and succulent fruits. Sip on local wines, each sip a tribute to the surrounding beauty.

Embark on an exhilarating game drive at Kwandwe Ecca Lodge. Climb aboard an open safari vehicle and venture into the heart of the Eastern Cape bushveld. Guided by expert rangers, spot majestic wildlife such as lions, elephants, and rhinos in their natural habitat. Learn about the intricate ecosystems and conservation efforts while immersing yourself in the breathtaking beauty of the African wilderness.

Experience the heartwarming joy of visiting the creche and pre-school at Kwandwe. Meet the vibrant children of the reserve and gain insight into their community development initiatives. Witness firsthand the positive impact on local families and immerse yourself in the spirit of empowerment and education.

What Our clients say

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.

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.
