Kruger Safari with Eswatini (Start Durban (from 29 December 2025))

Durban → Johannesburg 7 days Up to 50

About this trip

Seven days through eastern South Africa and into Eswatini, mixing coastline, wildlife parks and a proper dose of history. This is one for people who want their safari with some variety either side of it, rather than days of game drives alone.

You start in Durban, taking in the coast and marine life before heading inland to some of the country's best-known wildlife areas for game drives. A crossing into Eswatini adds a second country and a different pace to the trip.

What you'll do

  • Spend time on Durban's beaches and check out the local marine life
  • Game drives through well-known South African wildlife parks
  • Look out for hippos and other wildlife in their natural habitat
  • Cross into Eswatini as part of the itinerary
  • Take in heritage sites with real historical weight
Good to know
  • Moderate pace with a mix of coast, wildlife and culture rather than a pure safari focus
  • Fully guided in a small group, so transport and logistics are handled for you
  • Runs over the Christmas and New Year period, so book with that timing in mind
