Arrive in Johannesburg and travel to Marloth Park, where your safari escape begins in a peaceful bush setting bordering Kruger. Enjoy relaxed days surrounded by free-roaming wildlife, birdlife, and views over the Crocodile River.
Head into Kruger National Park for an immersive safari through the southern and central regions, known for excellent wildlife viewing and classic Big Five country. Expect early morning game drives, scenic picnic stops, and two magical sunset drives for a different perspective of the bush after dark.
Leave the bushveld behind and discover the spectacular Panorama Route, where mountain passes, forests, waterfalls, and escarpment views create a stunning contrast to the safari experience. Highlights include Lisbon Falls, Berlin Falls, Mac Mac Falls, Graskop Gorge, Lone Creek Falls, and Bridal Veil Falls.
Travel to the picturesque village of Clarens, known for its sandstone scenery, galleries, cafés, and welcoming mountain-town atmosphere.
Journey south through South Africa’s wide-open interior, including the tranquil landscapes near Colesberg and the rugged beauty of the Great Karoo, with its endless horizons, historic towns, and dramatic semi-desert scenery.
Arrive in Paarl and explore the beauty of the Cape Winelands, enjoy a wine-tasting experience, and take in the breathtaking coastal views of Chapman’s Peak Drive.
