Why I chose this offer

- Visit Johannesburg’s Apartheid Museum, a real must in understanding contemporary South Africa, enjoy a scenic drive through the beautiful small country of Eswatini and take an internal flight to the stunning Garden Route.
- Visit Hermanus for the world’s finest on-shore whale watching, dependent on season and have a full-day guided safari in the Kruger National Park, one of the world’s most outstanding game reserves.
- Stay three nights in cosmopolitan Cape Town, one of the world’s most naturally beautiful cities, dominated by the instantly recognisable Table Mountain.
- Explore legendary Cape of Good Hope and Cape Town’s Kirstenbosch Botanical Gardens, and gaze at the awe-inspiring Blyde River canyon, the third largest in the world.
This wonderful 16-day tour is designed to highlight South Africa’s truly amazing diversity of cultures, its curious blend of old and new, and it’s phenomenal scenery and wildlife.
South Africans call their homeland ‘a world in one country’. It covers an area equivalent to five times the size of Britain, with a climate ranging from temperate, Mediterranean and sub-tropical to desert; it offers spectacular scenery with arguably the finest wildlife on earth and no less than 11 official languages. South Africa is truly a world-class destination.
