South Africa

From Cape Town to the game reserves in the north and everything in between – there is much to see.

Cape Town’s waterfront is teeming with super restaurants and the best shopping. Stay in one of our favorite 5* properties in the waterfront or head out of the city a short distance to brilliant properties on Chapman’s Peak Drive overlooking the Atlantic. The wine country not only offers the opportunity to taste some impressive vintages but the countryside is beautiful with charming little towns for antiquing and al fresco luncheons. Make it a day trip or an overnight – the choice is yours.

Enjoy some of the best game viewing in the world with luxury tented accommodation offering superb dining and renowned South African wines. No need for a telephoto lens as you ride in comfort in your open land rover – that’s how close you will be to not only the Big Five but so many other species, large and small. For a closer look at fauna and flora there is always the option of a guided bush walk and the bush breakfasts and dinners are sumptuous.

For those who enjoy rail travel, view dramatic scenery while riding in grand style on either Rovos Rail or the Blue Train. You will be taken back to a far more civilized and relaxed era and see parts of the country’s inland not possible by any other means.

Christine at Esplanade Travel planned our recent trip which found us traveling to four very different and fascinating regions in Chile. The trip was absolutely beautiful, memorable and so suited to our specific interests! We have had the pleasure of working multiple times with travel consultants at Esplanade Travel and they continue to amaze us with the itineraries they develop and their close working contacts in other countries that always result in worry-free travel for us. We tend to stay in multiple areas with multiple connections and with the expertise in planning at Esplanade all of our reservations, contacts, pick-ups and drop-offs occur seamlessly. Our travels started in Santiago before heading south to the Lakes District, further south to Torres del Paine in Patagonia, then west to Easter Island. All of the lodges we stayed in were so comfortable with gorgeous views, the guides were super knowledgeable about the cultural and natural history of every location we visited, and the food was fantastic! On Easter Island our native guide, Sabrina, was able to provide us with her intimate knowledge, passed down to her from her ancestors, of the history and culture of the Rapa Nui people. I highly recommend Esplanade Travel to everyone, and I guarantee we will be contacting them to assist us with our next great adventure!
