Africa’s southernmost country has it all – wide beaches home to chiseled bodies, wine tasting in vineyards so dreamy you’ll have to see to believe, and top dining experiences you’ll want to repeat. And we haven’t even touched on safari yet. With all the country has to offer, the only way to do South Africa wrong is to go unprepared. Upon Arrival has narrowed down the “best of” across all categories, and we’re ready to take you on adventures that will have you looking for real estate on your last day (we can attest).
A Cape Town + Safari travel combo is popular among our honeymoon clients and we can see why. Take a romantic drive down the Garden Route and spend a day on a cliffside whale watching into the sunset and you will too. We also have insight on where to get the most of available honeymoon packages and we’ll get working on all the extras like a beachside photoshoot for you to add to the back of the wedding album.
