ITINERARY


More Quarters is in the suburb of Cape Town, which is at the foot of Table Mountain; an ideal base to access Table Mountain, Kirstenbosch Gardens, the waterfront as well as Long and Kloof Streets - known for their array of excellent restaurants, bars markets and shops. More Quarters offers 16 self-catered, luxury one and two bedroom apartments giving an independent style of living but with access to full hotel services. If you prefer a hotel bedroom rather than an apartment, sister hotel Cape Cadogan is just round the corner. If you’re looking to explore Cape Town at your convenience, in a home-away-from-home environment, then More Quarters’ luxurious, fully equipped apartments are ideal.

The apartments all have swish kitchenettes and the possibility of indoor and outdoor dining (ideal for families) but, if your holiday idyll doesn’t include self-catering, you can wander into More Quarters first floor breakfast room which catches the breeze and a view up to Table Mountain. The Hotel offers an all white color scheme, contemporary furnishings and fittings with jazzy art to create a vibe that is as peaceful as the quiet cul-de-sac outside your window. Enjoy an independent stay in the city in one of these beautiful, modern apartments right in the heart of town.

Experience Cape Town as a local, without forgoing any of the comforts of a luxury hotel

MOREQUARTERS

BUSHMANS KLOOFBushmans Kloof is an intimate & elegant lodge that connects you with the spiritual legacy of the Sa. Explore the region on foot, by bike or canoe. Try fly fishing, go on game drives, visit the infamous rock art, or simply indulge yourselves in the spa and relax in the infinity pool. The area is a haven for botanists, nature enthusiasts or those who simply want to unwind in peaceful surroundings. All rooms are beautifully furnished with magnificent views of the mountains and wilderness beyond. The cuisine is first class with a number of locations in which you can eat. Whether it may be a picnic set up on a hillside or dining next to an open fire, your taste buds are certainly catered for.

The Cederberg Mountains rise up from the South African vled in dramatic fashion, forming steep rock walls divided by a succession of deep ravines. These massive sandstone blocks wear the imprints of time and nature—contorted spires weathered by wind and rain, the petrified ripples of an ancient seabed, fossilized remnants of extinct life forms. It’s easy to see why the indigenous San people deemed these rocks the ultimate canvas for telling their story, and why tens of thousands of years later, visitors come to Bushmans Kloof to learn about these ancient people and immerse themselves in the rugged beauty of the mountains.

A retreat of unparalleled beauty and recreational

diversity!

A little French, a little foreign, a little style they like to

call Cape Provençal

QOROKWEwildernessoutpost

Qorokwe offers unparalleled wildlife encounters in the delta

Accommodations are in eight tented suites, plus one extra-large family suite with its own splash pool. En suite facilities feature indoor/outdoor showers. The common area overlooks a lagoon that attracts wildlife to camp, and the dining area, lounge, library and bar are built on raised wooden platforms connected by walkways. Guests enjoy game drives in open 4x4 Land Cruisers to view abundant wildlife by day, while night drives often reveal sightings of nocturnal civet, genet and bushbabies, and possibly leopard and owls. Exploring the water environs by boat or poled mokoro, look for frogs and birds including the brilliantly plumed malachite kingfisher. Birdwatching and nature walks complete the spectrum of wildlife viewing activities.

Qorokwe Camp is a brand-new outpost in the wildlife-rich southeast sector of Botswana’s Oka-vango Delta. Located in an enormous, virtually pris-tine wildlife reserve encompassing nearly 65,000 acres. Bordering the Moremi Game Reserve, Qorokwe comprises a diverse array of delta habi-tats. With permanent water year-round, guests are assured of outstanding game viewing. From palm-dotted islands and scattered acacia woodlands with herds of giraffe, zebra and abundant plains game to sprawling floodplains that are home to red lechwe, elephants and giant buffalo bulls—not to mention the resident lion pride.

DUMATAU

Duma Tau is built under a shady grove of mangosteen trees, overlooking a large hippo-filled lagoon. Its ten large, luxuriously appointed tented rooms are raised off the ground on polished wooden decks. They are set beneath cool thatched roofing with canvas walls, allowing guests to enjoy the night sounds of Africa in security and comfort. The bathroom facilities are en-suite, and each room also features an outside shower, perfect for showering under the stars. Duma Tau offers day and night game drives and nature walks which allow for closer inspection of some of the smaller aspects of the eco-system. The pontoon facilitates access to the Linyanti River and a different perspective on animals as they come to the river to drink. Duma Tau is a great camp set on one of Botswana’s most extensive and game-rich private concessions.

With the source of the Savuti Channel,

game viewing along this animal-rich waterway is

outstanding.

The Linyanti Reserve, on which Duma Tau is locat-ed, is an enormous private concession, comprising nearly 300,000 acres of prime wilderness area in the far north-east of Botswana. It is bordered to the north by the Linyanti River, and to the east by the Chobe National Park, and contains two thirds of the length of the mysterious Savuti Channel. Apart from its sheer size, the most remarkable feature of the Linyanti Reserve is the diverse range of habitats which supports a wide array of wildlife, and this area is particularly well known for its huge herds of elephants (probably the largest herds in Africa), and the lions of the Savuti Channel.

THEFAIRLAWNStimeless eleganceThis elegant villa hotel, until recently a private estate, remains historically inspired, with its manicured grounds and regal interior evoking its colonial past.
