About this trip
Twelve days across South Africa that mix wildlife, culture and coastline, from the savanna to the Cape. You will track the Big Five on safari, spend time with Zulu communities, and take in Table Mountain and the Cape Peninsula.
It is a full itinerary that moves between wild landscapes and city stops, with a group leader on hand from the start to help with logistics and the onward legs of the journey.
Expect shared rooms and a small group of people doing the same route as you, at a moderate pace that balances activity with time to take things in.
