SOUTH AFRICA'S BLUE TRAIN AND BIG FIVE SAFARI - 10 NIGHTS FROM £5,299

GARY BARLOW'S WINE TOUR: SOUTH AFRICA IS ON ITV AT 2PM EVERY DAY THIS WEEK OR YOU CAN WATCH ON ITVX AT ANY TIME

Explore the true meaning of luxury with an itinerary that brings together some of South Africa’s most iconic sights and experiences. Lap up the Table Mountain views in Cape Town, savour the gourmet delights of Stellenbosch’s Winelands and step back in time on the magnificent Blue Train, before capping off the adventure with three nights in a secluded game reserve that’s something of an insider secret.

CAPE TOWN - 2 NIGHTS

Arrive into Cape Town with 2 nights to explore at leisure. Maybe take a cable car up to the top of Table Mountain of head down to Boulders Beach to see the most famous local residents, the African penguins and enjoy the variety of places to dine.

STAY - VICTORIA & ALFRED HOTEL - Loft Room - Bed & Breakfast

STELLENBOSCH - 2 NIGHTS

Transfer to Stellenbosch, a 45-minute trip, where picture book scenery provides a backdrop to acre upon acre of lovingly tended vineyards. In this paradise for food-and-drink lovers, it seems right that your accommodation for the next two nights is on a family-owned wine farm that can trace its history back 300 years. There’s so much to do on-site, from self-guided walks and bicycle rides to wine tastings and exhibitions of contemporary African art, that you may find it hard to tear yourself away to discover the appealing university town – and its artisanal food scene – in the heart of this celebrated wine region.

STAY - SPIER HOTEL - Luxury Room - Bed & Breakfast

THE BLUE TRAIN - 2 NIGHTS

Transfer to the station to board The Blue Train, your five-star hotel on wheels for the next two nights and 1,600 kilometres, for one of the world’s most iconic railway trips. The experience is all about, as they put it, ‘surrendering to the luxury of slow’, immersing yourself in the view from the picture windows as you travel through some of the country’s most spectacular landscapes. These provide a perfect backdrop to the onboard indulgences, from afternoon tea in the Lounge Car to post-dinner brandies in the Club Bar.

STAY - THE BLUE TRAIN - Deluxe Cabin - All Inclusive

PRETORIA - 1 NIGHT

The Blue Train rolls into Pretoria station at midday, where your butler will es**rt you to the Arrivals Lounge for your onward 20-minute transfer to your hotel. You have the afternoon at leisure to soak up the gentle charms of ‘the Jacaranda City’, a nickname it owes to the purple-flowered trees that line many of its streets, which is one of South Africa’s three capitals. There are botanical gardens and leafy parks, historical buildings and world-class museums and a towering statue of Nelson Mandela waiting to be discovered.

STAY - IVORY MANOR BOUTIQUE HOTEL - Deluxe Suite - Half Board

MADIKWE GAME RESERVE - 3 NIGHTS

eave the city behind and head north for the start of your safari adventure. You’ll spend the next three nights in Madikwe Game Reserve, a remote malaria-free wilderness 4-hours drive away on the border with Botswana, where you’ll stay in a tented camp overlooking a river where elephants come to bathe. Your game drives are included and Madikwe, as well as the Big Five, is now home to a thriving population of endangered African wild dogs, more than 340 species of birds and a plethora of mammals of all shapes and sizes from aardwolves to zebras.

STAY - THAKADU RIVER CAMP - Tented Suite - Full Jen Board

This is an independent itinerary and can be fully customised to suit your requirements.

Includes private transfers throughout.

2 more weeks until I see the Sunshine again. It’s been too long.

I’ll be heading back to Turks and Caicos to swim in those stunning turquoise waters and walk on the white Sands.

If you are looking for a more luxurious holiday in the Caribbean with high end hotels and top restaurants then this is the perfect destination.

I have visited many hotels so feel free to give me a call to discuss the Island.

🧑‍🎄NEW YORK AT CHRISTMAS 🧑‍🎄

We do love a Christmassy trip in our house. New York will always be one of the best times. My bucket list was New York at Christmas. This was my Daughters 18th Birthday gift too. Incredible memories made. Such a fabulous place all year round but to me Christmas was the time I always imagined to go.

If you fancy a quick last minute trip give me a call or planning for 2025. Whether it’s just New York, New York and Washington or maybe New York followed by Christmas on a sunny Caribbean island. Anything is possible.

Let me help you escape to something fun and create memories for a lifetime ☀️❄️

🇺🇸Disney February 25🇺🇸

Set on the banks of a river, Disney’s Port Orleans Resort – Riverside brings a taste of slower-paced Louisiana to the Sunshine State.

The Riverside half of Disney’s Port Orleans Resort takes inspiration from Deep South. It’s set beside a river, so it really makes you feel as though you’re in the wetlands of America’s Pelican State.

The main building looks like a steamboat ticket station, with a grand interior that evokes the 19th century. The rooms, meanwhile, are styled up as old-fashioned white-columned mansions, and rural backwater apartments. Bedrooms feature artwork from The Princess and the Frog, set in 1920s Louisiana.

🧑‍🎄ADULT-ONLY CHRISTMAS 2025 IN MAURITIUS

Escape the weather and celebrate Christmas in paradise with a festive week at the stunning Lagoon Attitude in Mauritius.

On holiday, there are times you want a buzzy scene, times you want to kick back and chill, and times you want to live like a local. This is where Lagoon Attitude comes in, an adults-only escape hugging the shores of a huge lagoon on the north coast of Mauritius. This revamped island hangout is designed around three zones: lively, laid-back and local, so you can find your perfect vibe. Whichever ambience you’re after, it’s all about the experience at Lagoon Attitude, whether that’s dining on Mauritian cuisine under the stars, indulging in a sea-inspired spa treatment or giving back to the natural environment.

The All Inclusive plan here gives you a choice of venues for lunch and dinner and you can even pre-book a picnic basket if you are heading out for the day. You can also book to dine at any other Attitude hotel on the island for even more variety (Transfer at own cost).

This offer includes a 10% hotel saving.
