About this trip
This package strings together several separate guided tours to cover a lot of South Africa in 11 days, starting in Cape Town on a Tuesday and ending in Johannesburg on a Friday. You get a mix of free time and structured touring, so the feel shifts as you move through each stage.
Cape Town starts you off with unguided days to explore or book your own activities, before a guided segment takes you out to the Cape Peninsula, Cape Point and the Winelands. From there you head along the Garden Route, stopping in places like Sedgefield, Tsitsikamma and Oudtshoorn, with the option to bungy jump at Bloukrans Bridge.
The trip closes with four days of safari in the Greater Kruger area, with game drives at different times of day, night drives, bush walks and a full day inside Kruger National Park itself. Accommodation, airport transfers and some meals are included throughout.
What you'll do
- Free time in Cape Town to sightsee or arrange your own extras
- Explore the Cape Peninsula, Cape Point and the Cape Winelands
- Travel the Garden Route via Sedgefield, Tsitsikamma and Oudtshoorn
- Option to bungy jump at Bloukrans Bridge, the world's highest commercial bridge bungy
- Early morning, sunset and night game drives plus bush walks in Greater Kruger
- Full day of game viewing inside Kruger National Park
- This links multiple separate guided tours back to back, so the pace and group can change between sections
- Cape Town time is unguided and self-directed, unlike the rest of the trip
- Only some meals are included, so budget for others along the way
Worth it if you want diverse South African experiences with genuinely excellent guides. Think twice if you're counting on 11 full tour days—logistics and downtime eat 4 days, and Kruger time is thinner than the itinerary suggests.
- Guide Taariq consistently singled out as knowledgeable, funny, punctual and genuinely helpful with special requests.
- Only 7 effective tour days, not 11: airport transfers, 2 free Cape Town days, and airport drop-off don't count as tours.
- Just one full day inside Kruger Park despite 'four days' claimed; first day is drive-in, last day is drive-out from Johannesburg.
- Two full days lost in vans between Cape Town and Kruger when direct flights were possible; tour company profits from this routing.
