Tour Overview

The ultimate South African itinerary: four days experiencing Cape Town's world-class attractions followed by three days of Big Five safari in a private game reserve. This combination gives you the best of both worlds — cosmopolitan city life, wine estates, and dramatic coastline, followed by raw African wilderness and Big Five encounters. This is the most popular South African itinerary for good reason — it's the perfect introduction to a country that has everything.
