Luxury Safari Experience with Alfie Boe and Lea Salonga

Experience musical theatre in an entirely new way, combining private safari adventures and luxury hospitality with specially curated performances.

West End and Broadway stars, Alfie Boe and Lea Salonga join Spotlight: South Africa, an extraordinary new five-day experience bringing together world-class musical theatre and luxury African safari in the first of a new series of destination experiences bringing together the world’s greatest musical theatre performers and some of the world’s most remarkable destinations. Created for a small group with a shared love of musical theatre, every journey is intimate, immersive and entirely unique to its setting. Spotlight: South Africa, will take place from 7th–11th August 2027 at the award-winning Kapama Private Game Reserve, in South Africa’s Greater Kruger region. Alfie Boe, one of Britain’s best-loved tenors, is internationally renowned for his performances as Jean Valjean in Les Misérables, while Tony and Olivier Award-winner Lea Salonga originated the role of Kim in Miss Saigon and is known to generations as the singing voice of Disney’s Princess Jasmine in Aladdin and Fa Mulan in Mulan. By day, the guests head into Kapama’s Big Five territory, with safari game drives in search of lion, leopard, elephant, rhino and buffalo. Conservation is at the heart of Kapama, with the reserve dedicated to protecting its wildlife and natural habitat through extensive research and anti-poaching programmes. By night, the focus turns to conversation and music, with performances from Alfie Boe and Lea Salonga unfolding against the backdrop of the African wilderness. Candid conversations about their careers will sit alongside intimate musical performances crafted specifically for the occasion, creating moments that could never be recreated in a conventional theatre. At the heart of Spotlight is its connection. Spotlight: South Africa has been deliberately designed as a shared experience rather than a traditional large-scale event, creating a rare opportunity to experience music and the surroundings together as one group. The Kapama River Lodge will become home to the Spotlight group for the duration of the experience. Performances and conversations with Boe and Salonga will be woven into the rhythm of safari life, alongside private safari drives, guided bush walks, sundowners in the reserve and candlelit dinners beneath the stars. There will also be personal time to relax and reflect on the experiences of the natural world and the memories created through the week.

Following a registration and pre-sale period, places are now on general sale for the lucky few who are able to snap up a remaining exclusive ticket to the luxury event on 7th-11th August 2027,www.spotlightretreats.com
