Classic South Africa: From Cape to Kruger 12 days

12 days

South Africa in Full: Cape Town, Wine & Safari

Few countries make it quite so easy to combine city life, coast, wine and safari in a single 12 day journey. In Cape Town, explore the city’s history and culture before heading out to the Cape Peninsula, where penguins, quiet trails and secluded beaches await. Along the coast, discover the extraordinary biodiversity of the Cape Floral Kingdom, with time for swimming, coastal walks and, perhaps, a glimpse of migrating whales. Then head inland to Franschhoek for wine tasting by e-bike and tram, followed by some of Africa’s finest game viewing in the Sabi Sand. It’s a wonderfully varied way to experience South Africa, with plenty of time to set your own pace.
