14 days

Tour overview
This 14-day escorted tour journeys from the bushveld of the Kruger to the Cape, with door-to-door service from your home and return flights from London Heathrow, plus internal flights. A tour director travels with you throughout, and hotel porterage is included. You stay eleven nights in hotels: one in Sandton, three in the Kruger region, one in Gqeberha, two in Knysna and four in Cape Town, with two nights in flight. Breakfast is included daily, along with a lunch and four dinners.
A chauffeur collects you from home for your flight to Johannesburg. After an orientation tour of Pretoria, with its jacaranda-lined streets and the Voortrekker Monument, you stay in Sandton. Heading east into Mpumalanga, you pass through Pilgrim's Rest, a gold-rush town frozen in time, and look out from God's Window across a deep gorge towards the Kruger. Before sunrise the next day you set off on a full day of game drives in Kruger National Park, looking for lions, elephants, buffalo, leopards and rhinos, with a free day after to relax or join another drive.

A flight brings you to Gqeberha, then you follow the Garden Route, one of South Africa's most scenic drives, stopping at Storms River in Tsitsikamma National Park, where you may walk to the suspension bridge over the river mouth. In Knysna you take a ferry across the lagoon to the Featherbed Nature Reserve for a guided walk and lunch. Crossing the Outeniqua Mountains into the Klein Karoo, you tour an ostrich farm in Oudtshoorn before continuing to Cape Town.
Four nights in Cape Town include a city tour of the waterfront and the colourful Bo-Kaap, a cable car ride up Table Mountain, weather permitting, and a full day on the Cape Peninsula with Chapman's Peak, Simon's Town, Boulders Beach and its penguins, and Cape Point. A free day lets you explore the V&A Waterfront or the winelands before the flight home and your chauffeur back to your door.
The physical rating is low. This tour suits travellers who want a comprehensive and effortless South Africa holiday.
