1. The trip starts in Cape Town where you can spend the first few days exploring and enjoying this beautiful city.

2. You then move to the picturesque village of Franschhoek, in the famous Cape Winelands, just an hour’s drive from Cape Town. Here you can relax, admire the beautiful scenery, enjoy the fabulous restaurants, and indulge in the exceptional wine.

3. The final part of the trip takes you up to South Africa’s famous Sabi Sand Reserve in Kruger National Park for safari in some of the best Big Five safari camps on the continent. The game viewing here is absolutely fabulous. There is nothing quite like seeing animals in the wild – it is magical and will leave you with lifelong memories.
