Benguela Diamonds

During your South Africa vacation, fly to the border of Namibia for a day to dive for gems in the sea yourself and end up picking out your own diamond. That sounds unimaginable? It is not! It’s a unique adventure that Benguela Diamonds launched in early 2016 – the first company in the world to do so.

The Diamond Safari is a one-day trip from Cape Town or Johannesburg and surrounding areas to the west coast of the country, near the Namibian border, in which a maximum of six people can participate. Absolute exclusivity and privacy are thus guaranteed – perfect for newly engaged and married couples.

The perfect combination of luxury and a nature experience, you will have the opportunity to experience the journey of a diamond from its discovery on the ocean floor to its transformation into a sparkling piece of jewelry.

The program is exclusive, luxurious and adventurous

Early in the morning, a limousine chauffeur will pick you up from your accommodation and take you to the airport (Cape Town or Johannesburg). From here we continue by private jet towards the west coast to Port Nolloth. During the approx. 75-minute flight, you can enjoy the view and toast your good fortune with a glass of champagne.

The destination is a spacious beach villa located between the port town of Port Nolloth and McDoogles Bay, offering its residents the utmost comfort and maritime charm. Once here, you will be welcomed with a hearty breakfast. Even a private chef is ready to serve the most delicious dishes. While you are still fortifying yourself, a guide will introduce you to the rest of the process and the topic of diamonds.

The diamond boat then takes you out onto the cool Benguela Stream, after which Benguela Diamonds is named. Those who have a diving license may follow the diamond divers down into the depths of the Atlantic and search for marine diamonds. This requires a good eye while the professionals operate the equipment.

Those who don’t want to dive or don’t have a diving license can watch the action from the deck. Together with the experienced divers and diamond specialists, the finds are examined and classified here. The special feature: You can even choose your own diamond and have it fitted into a handmade piece of jewelry at the Benguela Diamonds Atelier in Stellenbosch near Cape Town.

Back at the villa, your reward awaits: the private chef serves a gourmet lunch with fresh fish, delicious seafood and the best that South African cuisine has to offer. On the same day, you will return to Cape Town or Johannesburg by private jet.

Söl’ring Hof chef Jan-Philipp Berner develops new menu

A diamond safari with Benguela Diamonds stands for exclusivity and luxury. Nothing is left to chance here. Guests pay a lot of money for the one-day trip – and are pampered accordingly. So it is only natural that the highest culinary demands are also met. Thus, none other than Jan-Philipp Berner, chef de cuisine at the two-time award-winning Söl’ring Hof, will develop the new gourmet menu for Benguela Diamonds in October and also cook on site.

He has already developed a certain affinity for South Africa: As recently as January of this year, he traveled to Cape Town with a small team to fill the restaurants of Bertus Basson, a well-known chef there, on a total of three evenings.
