As travellers increasingly seek journeys that combine culture, nature, and meaningful experiences within a single trip, One&Only Cape Town and Shamwari Private Game Reserve, a recently appointed rare finds resort, have launched City & Safari, a new itinerary bringing together two distinct South African experiences in one seamless journey.
The seven-night programme reflects a broader shift in luxury travel, with guests looking to maximise their time in a destination through itineraries that offer contrast, flexibility and a deeper connection to the destination. The itinerary begins with four nights at One&Only Cape Town, including one complimentary night, before continuing to Shamwari Private Game Reserve via Shamwari Air for a three-night safari experience.
Located in the bustling V&A Waterfront, One&Only Cape Town provides the perfect base from which to explore some of the region's most iconic attractions, including Table Mountain, Cape Point, the Cape Winelands and the city's renowned beaches, galleries and restaurants.
The journey then continues to Shamwari Private Game Reserve in the Eastern Cape, where the pace shifts from city exploration to immersive wildlife encounters in one of South Africa's leading private conservation reserves. Set across 25,000 hectares, the reserve is home to the Big Five and an abundance of native wildlife. Guests can take part in twice-daily game drives, guided bush walks and birdwatching excursions, while gaining deeper insight into Shamwari's conservation efforts through visits to the Wildlife Rehabilitation Centre and Born Free Big Cat Sanctuaries, subject to availability.
To simplify travel between destinations, the package includes airport transfers in Cape Town and access to exclusive reduced fares on Shamwari Air – offering a straightforward itinerary that allows guests to combine two distinct South African experiences without the usual complexities of multi-destination travel.
