South Africa Odyssey

Two weeks across South Africa, moving from Johannesburg through the Mpumalanga escarpment and Kruger National Park, on into eSwatini and Zululand, then down the Garden Route to finish in Cape Town. It's a wide-ranging route that covers safari, culture and coastal scenery rather than settling in one place.

The first half is about wildlife and landscape — waterfalls, canyon viewpoints, an open-vehicle safari in Kruger, then a cultural stop in eSwatini. The second half slows down along the Garden Route, with time in small towns, the Cango Caves, whale-watching country at Hermanus, and three nights based in Cape Town for the Cape Peninsula.

Guided throughout in air-conditioned vehicles, with most breakfasts and a handful of lunches and dinners included, this suits travellers who want to see a lot of South Africa in one go without renting a car or planning logistics themselves.
