Discover South Africa: Wine, Wildlife & Wonder
November 16–24, 2026
This November, join me for a small-group journey through South Africa—crafted for travelers who crave connection, adventure, and unforgettable moments. From world-class wine to once-in-a-lifetime wildlife, this experience is anything but ordinary.
Intimate Group Size: 12 travelers max—because meaningful moments deserve room to breathe.
Wine & Food Experiences: Sip, swirl, and savor your way through boutique wineries, paired with meals you’ll dream about long after the trip ends.
Luxury Safari: Think open-air drives, expert trackers, and ethically run lodges that blend sustainability with style.
Conscious Travel: Every stop is carefully chosen for its cultural, environmental, or community impact—because how we travel matters.
Local Flavor, Global Perspective: You’ll meet winemakers, conservationists, and guides who bring this remarkable country to life in ways no guidebook ever could.
You crave deeper stories, not just sightseeing.
You’re curious, open-hearted, and not afraid to get a little dust on your boots (or a little wine on your shirt).
You want to share the journey with fellow travelers who value connection and intention—no pretense, no pressure.
Where mountains meet the sea and culture meets nature, Cape Town is a city that captivates at every turn. From the colorful streets of Bo-Kaap to the sweeping views from Table Mountain, this coastal gem is the perfect place to begin your journey.
You’ll explore markets, taste your way through vibrant cuisine, and soak in the creative energy that makes Cape Town one of the most dynamic cities in the world.
Welcome to the heart of the Cape Winelands, where vineyard-covered hills, world-class wines, and slow, indulgent meals create the perfect contrast to the wild.
In Franschhoek, French heritage meets South African soul. Sip crisp whites and bold reds, explore charming villages, and unwind in boutique luxury. This is wine country the TraveLove way—refined, relaxed, and rich with local flavor.
This isn’t just a bucket-list safari—it’s an immersion into the rhythm of the wild.
Spend your days tracking lions, elephants, and giraffes with expert guides who bring the bush to life. Morning and evening game drives offer front-row seats to nature’s drama, while your luxury lodge provides all the creature comforts in between.
It’s raw. It’s real. And it’s unforgettable.
Thoughtful Stays with Character and Comfort
Every stay on this journey has been hand-selected for its charm, comfort, and connection to the land. These aren’t just hotels—they’re part of the experience.
🌿 The Vineyard – Cape Town
Begin your journey in a lush urban oasis at The Vineyard, a historic property tucked beneath the eastern slopes of Table Mountain. Once the home of Lady Anne Barnard, this graceful hotel offers more than just a good night’s sleep—it’s a celebration of Cape Town’s heritage, with sprawling gardens, modern elegance, and a strong commitment to sustainability.
Sip local wine on the terrace, explore the private grounds, and keep an eye out for the resident tortoises who’ve been charming guests since the 1980s.
🦁 Kapama River Lodge – Private Game Reserve
Next, go deep into the wild with a stay at Kapama River Lodge, set within a private game reserve in the Greater Kruger region. This is safari luxury at its finest: spacious suites, floor-to-ceiling views, and immersive wildlife encounters just steps from your door.
Here, your days begin with sunrise game drives and end with fireside cocktails under the stars. Expect elephants, lions, and the magic of the bush—led by expert guides and wrapped in world-class comfort.
