From Cape Town to Botswana's private reserves Ellerman House (2 nights, Cape Town) In the heart of the upscale suburb of Bantry Bay, just ten minutes from the attractions of the Victoria & Alfred Waterfront and close to the beaches of Clifton and Camps Bay, this elegant Edwardian home overlooks the Atlantic Ocean. Whether you choose the cozy atmosphere of Ellerman House or the more contemporary style of its villas, you will be charmed by this address that combines all the pleasures of Cape Town. Enjoy gourmet cuisine, fine wines, and an impressive private art collection with a simply stunning view of the Atlantic coast. Great Plains Selinda - Zarafa Camp (2 nights, Selinda Reserve, Botswana) Spanning over 32,000 hectares between the Okavango Delta and the Linyanti and Savuti Swamps, the Selinda Reserve embodies the soul of Africa and, more specifically, of Botswana. Great Plains Association's Selinda and Zarafa concessions are located in this vast wilderness. Designed with ecological principles, Zarafa Camp offers spacious, beautifully appointed tents that recreate the traditional atmosphere and style of the very first safaris. The luxurious suites at Selinda Camp reveal a brilliant synthesis of the meeting of cultures. In this exciting region, you will discover the countless wonders of Botswana's wildlife; this breeding ground for rare species is a true gift of nature. You'll have the privilege of seeing the majestic lions featured in Derek and Beverley Joubert's National Geographic film Birth of a Pride; endangered wild dogs; hippos swimming in the lagoons and herds of elephants roaming peacefully around. A magical spectacle, crowned by the most beautiful sunsets in the world. Duba Plains Camp (2 nights, Okavango Delta, Botswana) This is a unique landscape of woodlands, islets and floodplains, home to thousands of animals - including interesting Kalahari species - that connoisseurs come to see. We are in the heart of the Okavango Delta, in a 77,000-hectare private reserve where a few tents are set up, designed to blend into the landscape while evoking the style of the 1920s. The tents are extremely comfortable, slightly elevated, and each offers a splendid view of the plain, which can be explored by 4x4 with a private guide. Great Plains Conservation, which owns the camp, is the sole operator on this concession, offering exclusive access to this wilderness paradise. This itinerary includes for two people: - Two nights in one of the Ellerman House rooms with breakfast, a complimentary dinner and wine tasting in the sublime Wine Gallery and an exclusive tour of the House's art collection; - Two nights in a luxury full-board tent at Great Plains Selinda - Zarafa Camp; - Two nights in a luxury full board tent at Duba Plains Camp.
