Introduction and History
With a classically inspired exterior and gracefully elegant within, Cape Grace is set on its own private quay on Cape Town's vibrant Victoria & Alfred Waterfront. Cape Grace's charm lies in its intimate atmosphere, stylish d?cor and unique personalised hospitality, where you will find staff warm and flexible, with a spirit of unrivalled generosity.
When Charles Brand, his wife Beth and parents Chippy and Cynthia opened the doors of Cape Grace to the world in December 1996, their vision was a hotel that felt more like a good friend's home. In an understated way the d?cor and environment needed to reflect its 5-star aspirations. But, more importantly, staff needed to relate to guests as personal hosts, with warmth and a sense of comfort in their own individuality. At every level there is complete trust in the idea that if everyone is the best they can individually be, all else will follow.
Accommodations
A series of comfortable spaces, all 122 guest rooms and suites feature exquisite furniture, luxurious fabric and intriguing detail, providing an immediate sense of place.

Day 6 Cape Town-Sabi Sabi | Meals: BLD
A scheduled flight takes you to Johannesburg where you board the light aircraft flight into the famous Sabi Sabi Private Reserve. European hunters were first attracted to the Sabi Sands in the late 18th century and by the early 19th century, the coming of the railroad also meant recreational tourists were now able to visit the land now known as the Sabi Sabi Private Reserve. Today, the area is host to some 350 bird species and more than 200 mammal species, including all of the Big Five. Your Ranger will greet you at the airstrip and make sure you are comfortable before reviewing all the possibilities during your stay.
Sabi Sabi was acquired in 1980 and over the ensuing 20 years Sabi Sabi has achieved fame throughout the world as an acclaimed ecotourism operation.
Sabi Sabi's roots are firmly in place and through its philosophy, principles and commitment to the sensitive ecological environment in which it operates, will ensure that it will play a major role in the development of the ecotourism industry over the next decades.
Sabi Sabi's conservation philosophy is based on two principles:
The first is the need to conserve our rapidly dwindling areas and to provide a sanctuary for fauna and flora as part of our heritage.
The second is the belief that the only way a wildlife sanctuary can survive the onslaught of socio-economic pressures is by creating employment, earning foreign currency, paying tax and promoting sustainable tourism. It must be a true example of eco-tourism effectively linking tourism with conservation and the community. Our environmental management system is a holistic one, where the ecological needs are balanced with the needs of people and their communities, i.e. focussing on the interdependence of tourism, conservation and local communities.
Our environmental management policy / philosophy is stated as follows:
We need to conserve our rapidly dwindling wilderness areas and to provide a sanctuary for fauna and flora of our heritage. The only way a wildlife sanctuary can survive the onslaught on socio-economic pressures is by:
Each member of the Sabi Sabi team receives ongoing training in all areas of our business, empowering them, improving their skills, and has a thorough understanding that each individual's performance reflects and is dependant on the performance of other members of the team.
In the rural subsistence areas surrounding Sabi Sabi, the ratio of breadwinner to dependant is over 1 to 10. Therefore over 170 Shangaan employees at Sabi Sabi, support over 1700 dependants. These people are directly or indirectly dependant for their livelihood on the success of our enterprise and each and every one of us carries with him that responsibility and pride.
Sabi Sabi Private Game Reserve defines eco-tourism as the interdependence of tourism, conservation and local community thereby ensuring the optimum tangible benefit to each of the above.
BUSH LODGE
Bush Lodge is set in the heart of the Sabi Sabi bushveld overlooking a water-hole and an African plain. At each of our lodges, you will luxuriate in uncompromising high standards of service, efficiency and personalised attention - all in an informal atmosphere of warmth and hospitality.
There are 25 suites in Bush Lodge. Each air-conditioned thatched suite features exquisite ethnic dιcor in keeping with the bushveld environment. The lodge features artistically designed open courtyards with spectacular wooden carvings by renowned South African sculptors, created from wood salvaged from the bushveld.

Day 7 Sabi Sabi
Be ready for the unexpected today as a day on safari always has some surprises! You might want to start your day on an early morning game drive. Just as the sun begins to lighten the sky, the animals of the bush begin their morning. Your tracker and Ranger will carefully examine prints in the sand which might lead to one of the predators or tell a story of what has happend in the night.

Day 6 Cape Town-Sabi Sabi | Meals: BLD
A scheduled flight takes you to Johannesburg where you board the light aircraft flight into the famous Sabi Sabi Private Reserve. European hunters were first attracted to the Sabi Sands in the late 18th century and by the early 19th century, the coming of the railroad also meant recreational tourists were now able to visit the land now known as the Sabi Sabi Private Reserve. Today, the area is host to some 350 bird species and more than 200 mammal species, including all of the Big Five. Your Ranger will greet you at the airstrip and make sure you are comfortable before reviewing all the possibilities during your stay.
Sabi Sabi Bush Lodge
Sabi Sabi was acquired in 1980 and over the ensuing 20 years Sabi Sabi has achieved fame throughout the world as an acclaimed ecotourism operation.
Sabi Sabi's roots are firmly in place and through its philosophy, principles and commitment to the sensitive ecological environment in which it operates, will ensure that it will play a major role in the development of the ecotourism industry over the next decades.
Sabi Sabi's conservation philosophy is based on two principles:
The first is the need to conserve our rapidly dwindling areas and to provide a sanctuary for fauna and flora as part of our heritage.
The second is the belief that the only way a wildlife sanctuary can survive the onslaught of socio-economic pressures is by creating employment, earning foreign currency, paying tax and promoting sustainable tourism. It must be a true example of eco-tourism effectively linking tourism with conservation and the community. Our environmental management system is a holistic one, where the ecological needs are balanced with the needs of people and their communities, i.e. focussing on the interdependence of tourism, conservation and local communities.
Our environmental management policy / philosophy is stated as follows:
We need to conserve our rapidly dwindling wilderness areas and to provide a sanctuary for fauna and flora of our heritage. The only way a wildlife sanctuary can survive the onslaught on socio-economic pressures is by:
- Employing people
- Earning foreign currency
- Paying tax
- And promoting sustainable tourism
Each member of the Sabi Sabi team receives ongoing training in all areas of our business, empowering them, improving their skills, and has a thorough understanding that each individual's performance reflects and is dependant on the performance of other members of the team.
In the rural subsistence areas surrounding Sabi Sabi, the ratio of breadwinner to dependant is over 1 to 10. Therefore over 170 Shangaan employees at Sabi Sabi, support over 1700 dependants. These people are directly or indirectly dependant for their livelihood on the success of our enterprise and each and every one of us carries with him that responsibility and pride.
Sabi Sabi Private Game Reserve defines eco-tourism as the interdependence of tourism, conservation and local community thereby ensuring the optimum tangible benefit to each of the above.
