South African Babymoon

Itinerary Highlights

Arrive to Cape Town with the assurance that you will not be rushing from place to place or changing hotels every few nights.

With four nights the the singular Tintswalo Atlantic, a secluded enclave on the Cape Town coast with some of the Western Cape's most stunning views and most highly acclaimed restaurants, you will forget that you’re in a city… but you will be close enough to all of the action should you wish to partake.

Next you’ll spend three nights at Babylonstoren Farm Hotel, immersing yourself in the innately peaceful Cape Winelands, replete with picturesque vineyards and gardens. While this region is synonymous with its world-class wine production, we guarantee that even without a sip of alcohol you will find no difficulty in fully enjoying what the team at Craft Travel considers to be one of the most beautiful regions in the entire world. Babylonstoren’s newly renovated spa is ideal for expecting moms, and funnily enough, the hotel’s strong suit is not its wine! The best thing about Babylonstoren are the immersive activities offered on a complimentary basis to guests that focus on fun and creative ways of experiencing the farm, such as concocting your own personalized essential oil formula or baking your own bread. And the farm-to-table culinary feats of the hotel’s signature restaurant Babel will provide remarkably healthy and delicious fuel to those eating for two!

Your babymoon finale is spent with four nights at the luxurious Mateya Safari Lodge, Craft’s favorite lodge within the malaria-free Madikwe Game Reserve. Here, at this exclusive and intimate adults-only property, you'll enjoy twice-daily game drives spotting the best of the Big Five, along with other majestic species, most notably the savanna’s fiercest predators.

*Hotels and lodges described in the itinerary are recommended by Craft Travel but there are numerous options in each destination and we will curate your itinerary based upon your preferences. For example, for those who prefer being a bit more in the action and enjoying a food and art scene, we might consider swapping Babylonstoren with La Residence or Leeu House. With your feedback, we will similarly customize suggested activities, time spent in each location and trip extensions to additional destinations of interest nearby.
