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.

Our travels started back in March of 2020. Our trip started and included a great week in Tahiti then New Zealand. Although that’s when Covid exploded while we were there in Tahiti. That’s when we found out they had closed the border into NZ. Thankfully we had Esplanade to get us back home. We finally got back on track to New Zealand this March. We had a full itinerary planned. When we arrived, we had a driver waiting for us to take us to our Glamorous hotel with a great view of Queenstown, Lake Wakatipu and the Mountains in the background. We traveled to Milford Sound by bus then traveled thru out the scenic Milford Sound. Then they flew us back to our hotel. Another trip was on a Steamboat that took us to Farm. We had a great dinner there and tour of the farm that included the sheep dogs working the sheep. We could go on and on about this trip. The people from NZ our super nice. This trip was great from start to finish. Truly a bucket list trip. Esplanade will definitely be our choice for international travel, without a doubt. <br />
