Stopping to take in spectacular views along Route 62, exploring the fascinating Cango Caves, hiking in Tsitsikamma National Park, taking in the beauty of the world famous Garden Route, enjoy the various stops along the Panorama Route, search for and snap some great photos of the 'Big 5' on open vehicle game drives in Timbavati Private Nature Reserve, and spot more wildlife inside world famous Kruger National Park.
Two wildly divergent—and equally authentic—sides of Africa, one incredible life-changing trip! Designed especially for the comfort-minded traveller, this adventure merges the world-famous wildlife of South Africa with the equally wondrous (and less-explored) natural grace of the fabled Garden Route over 12 extraordinary days. Wildlife excursions in Kruger National Park will bring you closer to the ‘Big 5’ than any nature documentary, and relaxing evenings spent sipping wine and dining in style on the glorious southeastern coast make for a truly unforgettable experience.
