About this trip

South Africa combines a world-class city, a scenic coastal drive and a real safari in one trip. Cape Town sits under Table Mountain, reached by a rotating cable car, with the Cape Peninsula drive to the Cape of Good Hope and the penguin colony at Boulders Beach, and the Cape Winelands at Stellenbosch an hour away. The Garden Route runs east along the coast through Knysna's lagoon and Plettenberg Bay to the Tsitsikamma forests. The safari portion is in a private reserve or the greater Kruger area, where two nights allow four game drives in search of lion, leopard, elephant, rhino and buffalo, with a flight between Cape Town and the safari region. South Africa offers a simplified visa process for Indian travellers that should be confirmed for the dates. Lodges, flights and inclusions are set by the supplier and listed for confirmation.
