Our pick for South Africa: Apr–Oct.
Fresh light and blossom; the calm before high season.
Long days and warm water — the lively, sociable months.
South Africa is at its finest through the shoulder seasons, when the light is soft, the days are warm and the crowds have yet to arrive. Your concierge will tune the timing to your dates, interests and the rhythm of local festivals.
We arrange the smoothest route into South Africa — private transfers, fast-track arrivals and in-destination drivers — so the journey between addresses is as considered as the stays themselves.
The essentials, answered. For anything else, our concierge is a message away — day or night.
