Begin your South African adventure in scenic Cape Town with a four-night stay at One&Only Cape Town, ideally located on V&A Waterfront.

At the end of the day, you are invited into renowned Chef Santi Louzán’s home in the heart of the city for a seven-course dinner at Chef’s Table Cape Town, a shared social table concept where each course is paired with a matching wine. Spend the following day in the Cape Peninsula, exploring the surf and skate culture of Muizenberg, meeting the resident seals and fishing folk in Kalk Bay, and stand up paddle-boarding, kayaking or walking with the penguins at Boulders Beach, accompanied by your specialist guide.
