- THE JOURNEY
Adventure First. Island Time Later.
Start somewhere with energy.
Cape Town brings together mountain, ocean, culture and food before the surrounding Winelands invite you to slow down over remarkable wine and long lunches.
Then change the pace completely.
Head into Greater Kruger, where mornings begin before sunrise and days revolve around the movement of wildlife.
And when the final game drive ends?
Keep going.
Cross the Indian Ocean to Mauritius, where tropical landscapes, warm water and unhurried days create an entirely different ending.
Cape. Safari. Island.
A journey that gives you something to look forward to at every turn.

Your Journey,
Your Way
This itinerary is designed to inspire. Every Berridge journey is individually curated, and destinations, experiences, accommodations and duration can be tailored around you.
01.
- CAPE TOWN & THE WINELANDS
Begin With a Little of Everything.
Begin beneath Table Mountain.
Cape Town brings together dramatic landscapes, a fascinating cultural story and one of Africa’s most
exciting food scenes.
Spend time discovering the city and coastline before heading beyond it into the valleys of the Cape Winelands.
Here, vineyards stretch toward the mountains around historic towns such as Stellenbosch and Franschhoek.
Taste South African wine where it’s made. Sit down for lunch somewhere you don’t need to leave quickly. Wander through an estate or simply enjoy the landscape.
There’s adventure ahead.
There’s no reason to rush there.

02.
- GREATER KRUGER
Wake Up Somewhere Wild.
Then everything changes.
Greater Kruger brings you into an immense wilderness where days begin before sunrise and schedules give way to the rhythms of the bush.
Head out with expert guides and trackers as the landscape begins to stir.
Return to the lodge as the day warms, slow down through the afternoon and venture out again as the light softens.
Some drives bring dramatic wildlife encounters.
Others make you notice the smaller things.
Tracks in the sand. A distant call. The sudden silence when a guide spots something in the bush.
Eventually, you stop worrying about what you haven’t seen.
You’re simply there.

Wake Up Somewhere
Completely Different.
From the African bush to an island in the Indian Ocean.
This should feel like the traveller has reached the reward at the end of the adventure.
03.
- MAURITIUS
Let the Days Drift.
After the early mornings of safari, Mauritius asks very little of you.
That’s part of its appeal.
Warm Indian Ocean waters meet tropical landscapes, creating a final chapter where days can be filled – or deliberately left empty.
Spend time on the water. Explore the island. Discover its food and cultural influences.
Or simply stay exactly where you are.
There are no sightings to chase.
No early game drive.
No reason to look at the time.
The adventure hasn’t disappeared.
You’ve simply changed the way you’re experiencing it.

- MAKE IT YOUR OWN
How Would You Divide Your Time?
Some travellers want more safari.
Others want another night in the Winelands.
And some reach Mauritius and immediately wish they’d stayed longer.
There isn’t a right balance.
There’s only the one that works for you.
We’ll shape each chapter around how you want the journey to feel.
SAVOUR
Stay Longer in the Winelands
Give food and wine more room at the beginning
of the journey.
GO WILDER
Another Night on Safari
Give yourself more time to settle into the rhythm of the bush.
EXHALE
Stay on the Island
Add another day with absolutely nowhere you
need to be.
- Is This Your Journey?
You Might Love This Journey If...
01.
You want your first African journey to combine adventure and relaxation.
02.
Food and wine are an important part of how you travel.
03.
Safari is high on your list, but you don’t want it to define the entire vacation.
04.
You like the idea of ending somewhere completely different from where you started.
05.
A few days on a tropical island sounds like the right way to recover from early safari mornings.
- WHEN TO TRAVEL
Three Places. One Carefully Timed Journey.
Cape Town, Greater Kruger and Mauritius each have their own seasonal rhythms.
The right time to travel depends on what matters most to you—weather in the Cape, the safari experience you’re hoping for and how you’d like your island stay to feel.
Rather than choosing the “best” month for one destination, we’ll consider all three together.
Then we’ll find the timing that makes the entire journey work.
