Garden Route & Cape Town Odyssey
South Africa’s Garden Route is a lush playground where dramatic coastlines meet championship fairways. From Ernie Els’ signature Oubaai Golf Resort to icons like Fancourt, Pinnacle Point, and Pezula, this four‑day entrée blends prestige, scenery, and play into the perfect overture for a luxury golf journey.
Flowing naturally into the Mother City, the odyssey continues with Cape Town — Table Mountain, Cape Point, and the vibrant V&A Waterfront, paired with wine estates in Stellenbosch and Franschhoek. Golf blends seamlessly into the rhythm with rounds at Steenberg, Pearl Valley, and Royal Cape. This indulgent interlude sets the perfect stage before boarding a luxury train north into the bushveld. And with the newly launched Ceres Rail Garden Route package adding heritage flair to the mix, travellers now enjoy a full spectrum of rail indulgence.
