About your itinerary
?
Don't forget that if something isn't quite right we can make changes to the itinerary.
Dear Tiffany & Jacqueline,
Thank you so much for your call last week about your amazing wedding & honeymoon plans to experience the wonders of South Africa and be host to a once in a lifetime symbolic ceremony in the bush of Kruger National Park. I am delighted to enclose your bespoke itinerary, that covers the bustle and cosmopolitan style of Cape Town, and the vast magical wildlife that awaits you in Kruger.
Included in your itinerary, I have made sure you have everything catered for, inclusive of your international flights out of Newark with United Airlines, as well as our luxury meet & greet services on arrival into each Airport.
During your time in Cape Town, you will be staying in the quirky up and coming area of Kloof Street, where you have plenty of fantastic restaurants, bars and shops all at your disposal, whilst also being just a 5 min cab ride from downtown. You will have the chance to experience the highlights of the city at your own pace, but also an opportunity to explore the Cape Peninsular. From the friendly african penguins, to the iconic Chapman's Peak Drive, you are in for a fun-filled day making many memories.
I have added in your domestic flights to/from Kruger for additional ease, where you will be staying at one of my favourites, Kings Camp! It really is a stunning luxury property and one that I loved when I went as they were so inclusive and welcoming to me and my partner during our stay.
And of course, the main event, your dreamy symbolic ceremony. I have added in what your symbolic ceremony could look like with this amazing lodge for your review, inclusive of an officiant, a fabulous cake, native dancers and of course, plenty of special moments captured with the lodge's photographer & videographer. As we were already on the higher end of how much you were looking to spend, I added how much per person it would be to add in for you as I was conscious we were already over the $6K per person I was hoping to stay close to.
Another possible option is that we could look at a safari closer to Cape Town, which would offer a slightly more cost-effective ceremony and hopefully one we could incorporate into how much you were looking to spend, so we certainly have options.
I am super excited to hear your thoughts and I really hope you love what I have put together for you. I appreciate we are currently an additional $622.50 per person over the higher end, but I look forward to chatting in more detail when we speak on Wednesday. Any initial thoughts or if this is too much of a stretch and you would like me to explore, do let me know!
Best travels,
Maria Gardner

Welcome to Cape Town
Welcome to Cape Town
A coming-together of cultures, cuisines and landscapes, there's nowhere quite like Cape Town, a singularly beautiful city crowned by the magnificent Table Mountain National Park.
Indulge in a gourmet meal at one of Cape Town's Michelin-starred restaurants, or sip on a glass of South Africa's finest wine as you watch the sunset over the ocean. Take a stroll through the city's vibrant neighborhoods, where you'll discover a rich tapestry of cultures and traditions.
For the adventurous, Cape Town offers a wealth of outdoor activities, from hiking and surfing to shark cage diving and whale watching. And when you're ready to unwind, retreat to your private spa for a rejuvenating massage or soak in your infinity pool as you take in the stunning views.
Private Vehicle from Cape Town International Airport to Kloof Street Hotel
Private Vehicle from Cape Town International Airport to Kloof Street Hotel
On arrival at the airport, you'll be met by one of our wonderful representatives who will greet you with a fabulous VIP welcome. This is the ideal time for you to ask any questions you may have about your holiday. You will then be invited into your Private Transfer who will take you to the lovely Kloof Street, ready for your 3 nights in the city.
Kloof Street Hotel for 3 nights
Kloof Street Hotel for 3 nights
As its name suggests, Kloof Street Hotel is situated on popular Kloof Street, located close to Cape Town central.
If you love a boutique feel then this gorgeous accommodation is it!
The ground floor has a restaurant and a coffee shop to get your day started on the right note. It also has a shared working space and boardroom facilities, for those who need to be online, even when they are offline.
Strikingly natural in decor and vibrant in personality, this theme carries up to the sunny rooftop deck with its bar, pool, loungers and outside tables for those who'd prefer to dine al fresco. With its lush greenery, loungers, and an ice-cold Pina Colada in hand, you could be forgiven for thinking you were somewhere tropical, and not in the very heart of Cape Town.
Your room: Double Luxury Room
Step into your gorgeous Luxury Room and take in the light and airy feel, overlooking vibrant Kloof Street below. Touches of greenery and raw timber features throughout, while still maintaining a traditionally classic aesthetic.
A perfect base!
Best Bites in Cape Town
Best Bites in Cape Town
In Cape Town, where new restaurants open faster than you can knock back a tequila, it’s easy to get caught up in the “hot-right-now” hype. But there’s a lot more depth to the city’s food scene. I have added some fabulous recommendations below to feast your eyes on.
Nobu at One & Only £££
Embark on an unforgettable journey of gourmet excellence, fresh creations and masterful Japanese-Peruvian cuisine with Nobu Cape Town. Savour the trendy atmosphere and discover a modern medley of Japanese classics fused with Peruvian flavours, the brainchild of Michelin-starred chef Nobu. A restaurant to wow you off your chair, your meal here will not disappoint.
La Colombe ££
High up on the slopes of the Constantiaberg mountains, Silvermist Wine Estate is home to La Colombe – No. 56 on The World’s Best Restaurants List 2022. Headed by virtuoso chef-proprietor Scot Kirton and executive chef James Gaag, La Colombe has circled the upper echelons of the awards lists for over two decades and seeded many a top chef’s career, but the Scot-James duo has further raised the bar. The stylish restaurant’s pared-down interior is the perfect canvas for James and his team to conjure creative French-Asian dishes using foraged ingredients that they magically finesse into immaculately plated dishes.
Pier The Waterside ££
The La Colombe family of restaurants has garnered a well-deserved reputation for top-notch dining. The most recent addition to its seven-strong stable is a harbourside eatery at the V&A Waterfront – a light, bright, stylish space with a deck that feels like you’re on a superyacht. It offers sophisticated and creative fine dining, in the La Colombe style, but it’s more casual than its sibling, Pier, upstairs. The five-course Chef’s Menu reveals beautifully plated cuisine, from the unique milk bun bread stack to start, through seafood, beef, pork belly and vegetarian options, to a “treasure chest” of bonbons for a sweet finish.
Salsify ££
Overlooking the Atlantic Ocean from the hillside above Camps Bay is one of Cape Town’s finest, owned by chef Ryan Cole (who served as Luke Dale Roberts’ head chef at the acclaimed Test Kitchen). With sweeping views of the ocean and majestic Lion’s Head as a backdrop, Salsify serves modern cooking, inspired by nature and driven by the seasons. Enhancing the overall experience is excellent service, two top-tier wine-pairing options, edgy-chic interiors (avant-garde graffiti, art installations and a show-stopping bronze statue) that complement Ryan’s seasonally driven, locally conscious fine-dining menu.
Chorus £££
A heavenly Winelands setting, 300 metres up on the slopes of the Schapenberg in Somerset West, overlooking False Bay and surrounded by an amphitheatre of mountains. The name of Bertus Basson’s brand-new venture certainly evokes the angelic and rapturous… Waterkloof Estate’s famous glass-box dining space, an architectural marvel hovering over the vineyards above the hilltop cellar, offers four- and six-course menus inspired by fine local ingredients and cuisine (including Basson’s famous soufflés) – what he refers to as “simple, focused, seasonal cooking”, and what should really be called a masterful symphony of flavour.
FYN £££
Fyn's dream-team partnership between Peter Tempelhoff (an alum of The Greenhouse) and executive chef Ashley Moss means you’re in confident hands. The menu is African-inspired, but it’s Tempelhoff's obsession with Japan that will have you enthralled. His confident exploration of tastes, flavours, textures, and cooking styles comes in five-course, kaiseki-style menus. Each course is a taste explosion that leaves you wanting more—just don’t forego the cheese sandwich before the sweet kaiseki.

Ultimate Cape Point Tour | Semi-Private
Today after a wonderful breakfast, it will be time to immerse yourselves in the landmarks and must-sees of this amazing city and surrounding area.

At Hout Bay, enjoy a boat cruise over to Seal Island where you can say hi to all the lounging seals on the island here. You will then continue on Chapman’s Peak Drive, noted as one of the most stunning roadways in the world.
Visit the Cape Point Nature Reserve and the tip of the Cape Peninsula which has captivated travellers for centuries. The return journey to Cape Town takes guests along the False Bay coast where you will have the opportunity to visit the colony of rare African Penguins at Boulders Beach. Lucky for you, I have also included a wonderful kayak experience at Boulders Beach, so you can get more personal with the swimming penguins. After a fabulous time out at sea, say goodbye to the penguins and pass through the naval village of Simon’s Town, Fish Hoek, Kalk Bay and Muizenberg.
This day will leave you feeling refreshed and inspired. Your driver will drop you back at your hotel for an evening of leisure.
