Afterward, you can head to Cabaret Lounge, a cabaret-style theater serving up musical revues, comedians, and classical solo performers—or catch a live band and nightly disco in The Living Room (also housing the Card Room for bridge lovers) and retire to The Drawing Room for a whiskey or two as a pianist tickles the ivories. Here, you’ll hop onto canopied safari jeeps and journey across its impressive 96,000 hectares home to Africa’s Big Five—prowling lions, herds of elephants, cheeky leopards, grunting buffalos, and munching rhinos—stopping for a myriad of photo-snapping opportunities along its dusty tracks and a sundowner on the savannah as you toast your gin and tonic to a blazing sunset ($299 per person with Azamara). But if you’re seeking a bit more thrill, hop on a helicopter flight (approx 1.5 hours) soaring above Cape Town along the Atlantic route as you hear the blades thundering in your ears, absorbing the sights of the towering Twelve Apostles and the wreck of Llandundo—before passing over the majestic Seal Island and tracing the curves of Chapman’s Peak Highway (forged by Italian prisoners in World War II).
