Your luxury South Africa tour will start with a VIP meet and greet at Cape Town International Airport and a private road transfer to your accommodation at Four Rosmead Guesthouse.

Built in 1903, this historic hotel is located on the slopes of Table Mountain in tranquil and leafy Oranjezicht. Upon arrival, you can unwind in the heated swimming pool, meander the landscaped gardens or start your exploration of Cape Town. Four Rosmead Guesthouse is within walking distance of Green Market Square, and only 10 minutes by car from the V&A Waterfront, Kirstenbosch Gardens, as well as the Clifton and Camps Bay beaches.

Scale the iconic flat-topped plateau of Table Mountain, enjoy the great outdoors at Kirstenbosch National Botanical Garden and learn about the country's difficult modern history with educational trips to Robben Island (where Nelson Mandela was incarcerated, along with many other political prisoners during the Apartheid era) and the District Six Museum.
