Experiences & Highlights

Wine focused journeys pair big wildlife moments with cellar evenings and vineyard days. On safari, Londolozi’s Pioneer Camp and Private Granite Suites host guided tastings drawn from a curated list, often paired with seasonal menus and riverside settings. Lion Sands Ivory Lodge offers candlelit pairing dinners after dusk drives, while Singita Sweni Lodge presents extensive South African selections with knowledgeable hosts. In Zambia, Chinzombo brings an elegant wine list to easy evenings beside the Luangwa.

For the vineyard half, Lanzerac in Stellenbosch delivers historic cellars and guided tastings, Erinvale adds spa time and access to Helderberg estates, and Ludus Magnus mixes contemporary design with farm style calm and private experiences. Days flow easily with late breakfasts after morning drives, relaxed lunches among vines, and sunset tastings timed for soft light. Transfers are simple with regional flights and short drives, and your hosts balance tasting plans with rest, so early game drives remain enjoyable. The result is a refined rhythm that marries wilderness, cuisine and world class wine.
