Vacation in South Africa
This seven-night vacation includes leisure time in two of South Africa’s most cosmopolitan cities—Johannesburg and Cape Town—as well as game drives in a private reserve. On morning and evening drives into the bush, you might spot giraffes, lions, and rhinos.
Included in the vacation:
- Round-trip airfare on Emirates from one of 7 cities
- One-night stay with breakfast at the Peermont Metcourt at Emperors Palace in Johannesburg
- Three-night stay with all meals and activities at Makalali Private Game Lodge
- Three-night stay in a luxury suite with breakfast at Adderley Hotel in Cape Town

Days 1–2: En route to Johannesburg, via Dubai
Day 3: Johannesburg
Spend the day exploring South Africa’s largest city on your own. The nearest train station, where you can catch the Johannesburg Red Line to downtown, is a half-hour walk from your hotel.
Must-see attraction: the Apartheid Museum, a 30-minute cab ride from the hotel Included meals: daily breakfast at the hotel
Days 4–6: Makalali Private Game Lodge
Giraffes, zebras, and members of the Big Five—lions, leopards, elephants, rhinos, and buffalo—roam the grasslands surrounding Makalali, a private game reserve next door to Kruger National Park. The lodge is privately owned, which means the drivers can go off-road to get closer to animals—a practice that isn’t allowed in South Africa’s national parks and reserves.
Game drives per day: two; one in the morning and one in the afternoon Cocktail hour at sunset: You can enjoy drinks in the bush during a traditional African activity known as a Sundowner. Included meals: daily breakfast, lunch, and buffet dinner featuring Pan-African cuisine
Days 7–9: Cape Town
Cape Town, the capital of South Africa, is a very walkable city, and your hotel is located right downtown. You’ll also be just a 5-minute walk from the train, if you wish to explore further out.
Waterfront shopping: The V&A Waterfront is lined with more than 450 shops as well as restaurants and boat charter companies. Get a bird’s-eye view of the city: The legendary Table Mountain is about a 10-minute cab ride from the hotel. You can take an aerial cableway to the top of the mountain to get breathtaking views of Cape Town and the harbor. Included meals: daily breakfast at the hotel
Days 10–11: En route to the US, via Dubai
