About the trip

This compact South African tour begins in Cape Town, where a cable car ride takes you up Table Mountain for views over the city and the Atlantic. Following a few days in the city, the group takes a flight north to or near Kruger National Park to chase sightings of the Big Five — the elephant, lion, buffalo, leopard, and rhinoceros — across open-vehicle safari drives.

Between game drives, the itinerary includes a traditional South African braai and a visit to Jane Goodall’s Chimp Eden, which offers a closer look at conservation of chimpanzees. The group size is capped at 18, travelled with a Chief Experience Officer who aids navigation of the logistics and shares local insights. The journey balances urban landmarks and natural landscapes, with accommodation split between hotels and lodges, and stretches of road travel managed in a comfortable air-conditioned vehicle.
