This is a country as beautiful on the inside as it is on the outside, captivating you with the spirit of its people as much as with its stunning landscapes. The view from Cape Town's Table Mountain is a preview of what awaits you on this South African journey. In one sweeping panorama you'll capture mountains, city, ocean and unspoiled wilderness. You'll start your trip with three nights in this fascinating city touring the sights and travelling around the striking Cape Peninsula.
You'll leave the city on Route 62, a road traveller's dream, passing through the Breede River Valley and Klein Karoo, past wine and port estates, ostrich farms and orchards, to the ostrich feather capital of the world at Oudtshoorn. You'll venture into primary forests of rare yellowwood, ironwood and stinkwood trees up to 800 years old and enjoy the amiable little town of Knysna, nestled along a lovely lagoon. This is the Garden Route, known for its lush vegetation, indigenous forests and pristine beaches.
Jo'burg is a quick flight away. The economic heartbeat of the country, this is a dynamic and cosmopolitan city thanks to its mineral rich hills. Then it's off overland again to "the place where the sun rises," Mpumalanga, the gateway to the Kruger National Park. You'll spend three days in the park, the true jewel in South Africa's crown. World-famous as the biggest reserve in South Africa, it is home to Africa's Big Five. There's a grand choice of accommodations here from intimate family run lodges to luxurious tented camps. Expert game rangers will whisk you off on game drives and walking safaris, tracking the wildlife in their natural habitat. |
