South Africa
e Best of South Africa 18 Days
This is a comprehensive safari incorporating the incredible scenery, outstanding wildlife and amazing cultural beauty of South Africa and Swaziland. On this extraordinary adventure we visit both a Shangaan and a Zulu village, where our hosts entertain us with pulsating performances of song and dance followed up by traditional meals. We explore Kruger National Park on full-day game drives in search of the Big Five, as well as cruise through St Lucias world heritage wetlands. South Africas gorgeous scenery, from the spectacular lookouts and quaint villages of the Blyde River Canyon region to the iconic beauty of Table Mountain soaring over the city of Cape Town, is amazing and inspiring. The impressive Drakensberg Mountains provide the chance to hike through magnificent alpine countryside, whilst the Wild Coast and Garden Route offer plenty of superb photographic opportunities and unforgettable vistas.
