Johannesburg
Your journey starts in Johannesburg, the arrival point for the safari section of the trip. The first night gives you time to rest after the journey from Ireland before travelling north the next morning.
Welgevonden Game Reserve
This protected reserve in Limpopo gives you the chance to spend three nights in the bush, with meals and drinks included during your stay. You do not need to move around each day, so there is time to settle in and focus on the wildlife, the landscape and the guided experiences already arranged.
Cape Town
After the safari, fly south to Cape Town for four nights. The city sits between Table Mountain and the Atlantic coast, with a mix of scenery, food, waterfront areas and nearby day trips. It is a strong finish to the itinerary because it gives you a different side of South Africa after the bush.
Stellenbosch and Hermanus
The included tours take you beyond Cape Town without adding any planning for the customer. Stellenbosch brings you into South Africa’s wine country, while Hermanus takes you along the Western Cape coastline for a full day by the sea.
