Gourmet South Africa: Cape, Winelands & Garden Route

14 days from £4,100 per person

One of the best ways to get to know South Africa is by sampling its local specialities and remarkable wines while you meander through its stunning landscapes and make new friends along the way.

Fly into Cape Town – we suggest you stay at The Cellars-Hohenort, a tranquil hotel located just 15 minutes out of town surrounded by ancient Camphor trees and the historic Constantia vineyards. The hotel is famed for its gastronomy, particularly for its innovative menu which focuses on an interpretation of African Hunter /Gatherer.

Get under the skin of Cape Town by delving into its culinary delights and vibrant culture on a privately guided food tour walking through the city’s back streets. You will discover the tastes that truly represents this rainbow nation: from South African street food to some of Cape Town’s best artisanal food and coffee shops.

Travellers who explore west of Cape Town will be rewarded with a wilderness full of wild flowers, unique flora and fauna and an ocean populated with dolphins and seals. Stay at Bushman's Kloof, where the emphasis is on well-being. There are various dining experiences, including the romantic Embers where you eat outdoors by a roaring fire surrounded by candles in a natural sandstone amphitheatre. End your stay with a magical private dinner experience at a small shepherd’s cottage set in a secret location on the reserve.

A trip to the Winelands is a must for any gourmand. On this itinerary you will stop at Bartholomeus Klip, a rustic but supremely chic farmhouse with a purely local food policy. By day you can animal spot on the Ribeek Valley and then enjoy a three-course dinner in the conservatory where you might be served a mouth-watering Ribeek lamb matched with a delicious Pinotage. 

Discover a different pace up in the Eastern Cape, alongside the turquoise waters of the Indian Ocean and beautifully desolate beaches. In the pink-tinged colonial town of Graaff-Reinet bed down at the Drostdy Hotel where gourmet cuisine includes delicious game such as ostrich and venison. 

Your next stop requires you to leave this quaint town far behind you and head to the pristine wilderness of Kwande Game Reserve. Meals at this award-winning lodge are African-inspired and served by your personal chef under a canopy of stars. 

* Special Offer: This tour includes 1 free night at The Cellars-Hohenort and 1 free night at Bushman's Kloof (certain dates excluded).

I would recommend Ampersand without any hesitation!!! The best travel agent that I’ve ever had.

We had a wonderful holiday - everything was perfect. Thank you for helping us to make a thoughtful plan to enjoy and make most out of our trip. The places we visited, the guides, the transportation and driver, the hotels selected... Everything was great!
- Jaime Benitez, South India
I had a very lovely time and was looked after splendidly. My first visit to India could not have been better, save for being longer! But I shall return at some point and I shall look to you to make the arrangements.
- Matthew Nicklin, North India
So many highlights to choose from! The hotels were amazing but Maya Villa was a highlight… I loved just hanging out in the hammock reading my book and watching the peacocks chase the cows!
- Krista Weir, Sri Lanka
Ampersand’s preparation, attention to detail and interaction before and during our trip show exactly why good travel agents have a role in today’s internet booking age. They were a delight to deal with!
