South Africa packs a whole trip worth of variety into one country – a world-class city, mountains that fall into the sea, vineyards, and some of the best-value Big Five country on the continent. This ten-day route is the classic first visit, run from Cape Town to the Kruger with a domestic flight in the middle.
You get three nights in Cape Town, a day in the Winelands, the Panorama Route along the Drakensberg escarpment, and two and a half days on safari in a private reserve bordering Kruger, where off-road drives and night drives get you close to leopard and wild dog.
