Vic Falls, Kruger & Seychelles

The breathtaking views of the forest that you may enjoy from your multi-layered lookout deck or the seclusion of your suite’s equipped balcony will never get old. Spend the day reading a book you choose out of the library in the corner of a huge sofa, or cool down in the glittering pool that is built into the rock and has a waterfall.

Private dining options include languid breakfasts in your king-sized bed and romantic picnic lunches on the expansive resort grounds. People who are hopeless romantics can have a meal aboard a boat that is floating down the Zambezi River, lit solely by paraffin lights, with each course being carried by canoe.

Spend the night at The Residence, an opulent hotel located in the wealthy Houghton neighbourhood of Johannesburg, on your route to the Sabi Sand Private Game Reserve in South Africa. Swap the inner city for the untamed Sabi bush, where you may stay in a luxurious riverbank villa at Lion Sands Ivory Lodge in the middle of the Big 5’s home range. A knowledgeable ranger and tracker crew leads exciting 4×4 game drives and educational walking safaris through untamed wilderness areas that are rich in animals.

In a Big 5 reserve where off-road driving is allowed for exceptional wildlife encounters and an unequalled animal tracking experience, visitors can anticipate outstanding game watching with dependable leopard sightings. Join a hippo trip along the Sabie River for a more unique excursion, where you can get up close and personal with these timid land creatures as crocodiles bask on the riverside. Evening game drives reveal the nocturnal wildlife of the bush, such as bush infants, genet, or even a sneaky predator pursuing its victim.

Before a brief stopover at the Eden Bleu Hotel in the Seychelles, enjoy another pleasant night at The Residence under the care of the no-request-is-too-big crew.

On St. Denis Island, your last Seychellois residence is a stylish beachside bungalow with a view of the Indian Ocean’s crystal-clear waters. Spend blissful days lounging on the gorgeous beach, swimming in the crystal-clear lagoon, diving off the reef, and discovering the island’s lush woods.

Your Crusoe-style beachside hut looks out over the gin-clear waters of the Indian Ocean while being shaded by coconut palms. Spend fun days lazing on the pristine beach while taking cool swims in the clear blue lagoon. Get up-close to triggerfish, pirouetting rays, and gliding turtles by doing a reef dive, or by simply lounging in the shallows with a snorkel.

Explore the vast range of flora and animals as you meander through the dense forest of the island, which is filled with the sound of birds. Local conservationists provide informative island excursions that offer unique insights into the island’s history and conservation context. Watch the skilled chef in the open kitchen as he creates innovative cuisine to tantalise the senses using fresh ingredients from the island’s gardens or the nearby Indian Ocean; whether for a 5-course dining room affair, breakfast in bed, or a romantic candlelit beach dinner under a starry night sky. The breathtaking views from your verandah, which is outfitted with a cosy day bed overlooking the water just a few feet away, will astound you every time you visit your seaside beach house.
