The Saxon Hotel and Villas
Johannesburg

Rated as one of the world’s leading hotels, The Saxon Hotel and Villas is a five-star oasis in every sense. Set on ten landscaped acres in Johannesburg’s exclusive Sandhurst district, known for its leafy tree- lined avenues, The Saxon offers a true urban retreat – the drive up to the entrance is enchanting. Nelson Mandela chose to complete his autobiography here and guests can stay in his former suite. Originally a private home, there is still an atmosphere of a grand residence with personalised, discreet service and a vast collection of African art.

Each of the luxurious rooms is fully equipped with a business area and technology making it perfect for working travellers. Indulge in the enormous pool and the 24-hour fitness centre with personal trainer on request, as well as the award-winning spa with its innovative treatments. Breakfast on the sun-kissed deck (we love the freshly shucked oysters) can be spent watching the Weaver birds build their nests. Both hotel restaurants, the Qunu and the famed Luke Dale-Roberts, serve gastronomic delights.

When preparing to travel, lay out all your clothes and all your money. Then take half the clothes and twice the money.

Client Testimonials

We had a wonderful holiday - everything was perfect. Thank you for helping us to make a thoughtful plan to enjoy and make most out of our trip. The places we visited, the guides, the transportation and driver, the hotels selected... Everything was great!
- Jaime Benitez, South India
I would recommend Ampersand without any hesitation!!! The best travel agent that I’ve ever had. Everything – from the individual care and attention in planning the trip, through to the efficiency of the agents on the ground in India – was handled brilliantly. An absolutely first-class service all round!
- Matthew Annable, Rajasthan, India
Difficult to articulate just how good the service from you and your team really was. We know you will continue to do well and hope we have the chance to seek your assistance again before long.
