Classic South Africa

The classic South African trip that has stood the test of time for good reason

This 23-day classic itinerary will see you travel through all the “not-to-be-missed” parts of South Africa. See for yourself why this unique and special country is called the Rainbow Nation as you experience our abundant diversity first-hand. Your trip starts in Johannesburg and ends in Cape Town and it will take you through so many different and interesting spots. From the breath-taking Panorama Route, a safari in the world famous Kruger, a pleasant little skip through the tiny country of Swaziland, a safari in the Hluhluwe (the oldest game reserve in Africa!), a stay in a UNESCO World Heritage Site in St Lucia, the Garden Route, the Klein Karoo & Route 62, the award-winning Cape Winelands and finally the Mother City. There are very few trips in this world that have as much to offer in the same length of time!
