A Double or Twin, which is rather the point. One bed if you're on your own, two when a colleague comes along. Interiors redone not long ago. You're set high on the rocky Witwatersrand, the zoo somewhere down the hill below you.
Your Deluxe Suite is a restored carriage with its original features kept in place, en-suite and air-conditioned. Five-star, though it doesn't make a fuss about it. At night the train rocks and creaks a bit. Regulars will tell you that isn't a fault waiting to be fixed but the point of sleeping on rails across Southern Africa.
Settle into a Marina Table Mountain Room at One&Only Cape Town in Marina Rise, with a choice of double or twin beds. Your private balcony frames Table Mountain views, while an en-suite with bathtub and separate shower, free Wi-Fi, air conditioning, flat-screen TV, in-room safe, minibar, tea and coffee, in-room dining, and daily housekeeping.
A coastal drive along the Cape Peninsula, then a guided five-wine flight at Cape Point Vineyards. The views come first; the wine's your reward at the far end.
Hoedspruit Endangered Species Centre offers a thoughtful look at conservation in action and the animals it protects. Close-up, respectful and genuinely memorable.

Our best tips
Weather
October is spring in South Africa. Days run warm and dry on the Highveld and hot in the Kruger bush, where thinning cover draws wildlife to the waterholes. Evenings cool off, and Cape Town stays milder and breezier. Pack layers and sun cover.
Dress code
Smart casual is the typical standard for our hospitality events. Your booking confirmation will include any specific dress requirements.
