Explore Exotic and Cosmopolitan South Africa
South Africa wears many different hats. It’s home to thriving metropolises and wild savannas, undulating vineyards and historical landmarks, exotic wildlife and a world-renowned cultural scene. You’ll explore several of the country’s diverse attractions on this 9-day tour from Great Value Vacations. The tour kicks off in bustling Cape Town before heading to the bushveld of Kruger National Park. It includes:
- Round-trip airfare from New York (JFK) to Cape Town, return from Johannesburg
- Round-trip airport transfers
- 4 nights of standard accommodations at the 4-star Protea Hotel President in Cape Town
- Full-day tour of the Cape Peninsula
- Full-day tour of the Cape Winelands
- Flight from Cape Town (CPT) to Kruger National Park (HDS)
- 3 nights of all-inclusive accommodations at the 4-star Thornybush Waterside Lodge or similar property
- 2 safari drives per day for 3 days (6 safari drives)
Days 1–4: Cape Town
South Africa’s oldest city and legislative capital, Cape Town is situated near the African continent’s southern tip. The scenic metropolis is known for its fine dining, natural beauty, and creative spirit, which secured its place on the New York Times’ list of “52 Places to Go in 2014.” Most of your time here will be spent on guided tours, though you’ll have a full day of leisure to see sights on your own.
- Flight time from New York: 16 hours
- Full-Day Cape Peninsula Tour stops at Hout Bay and world-famous Kirstenbosch Botanical Gardens, which showcases native fynbos plants in the shadow of Cape Town’s iconic Table Mountain. Optional excursions on the tour include visits to Seal Island and the penguin colony on Boulder’s Beach (extra fees).
- Taste wines and cheeses at two vineyards on a tour of the Cape Winelands. You’ll also visit the historical city of Stellenbosch, where more than 100 wine cellars lie along oak-lined streets.
- Where you’ll stay: The 4-star Protea Hotel President, which features free breakfast, outdoor pool overlooking the Atlantic Ocean, a casual restaurant and cocktail bar, a fitness center, and free WiFi.
Days 5–9: Kruger Private Reserves
A number of private game reserves flank Kruger National Park’s western boundary in the country’s northeastern corner. These reserves offer a more-intimate experience than the neighboring national park, and along the way you may spot members of the Big 5, as well as hippos, giraffes, and warthogs. Park rangers and trackers have an extensive knowledge of the bushveld, helping guests get especially close to the animals.
- Three days of morning and afternoon safaris head deep into the African bushveld in search of the Big 5. Afternoon safaris extend past sunset, so you can see nocturnal species by torchlight.
- Sit around the campfire and enjoy a drink during nightly free time.
- Where you’ll stay: The 4-star Thornybush Waterside Lodge, featuring daily breakfast, lunch, and three-course dinner, an outdoor pool, and a deck overlooking the lake.
- Flight time back to New York: 16.5 hours
