About the trip

This Riviera Travel escorted tour is designed for solo travellers wanting a comprehensive South African experience. Beginning in Johannesburg, there’s a poignant visit to the Apartheid Museum before heading along the Panorama Route to the edge of Kruger National Park. The rim of Blyde River Canyon provides notable views, a chance to catch the scale and geology of this vast gorge.

A morning safari in Kruger beckons early risers with expert guides in 4x4s tracking elephants, leopards and more. After a day’s leisure, the journey continues through Eswatini’s hills to the battlefields of Zululand, where history recounts British and Zulu clashes at Isandlwana and Rorke’s Drift. The route then leads to Knysna on the Garden Route, with a 4x4 trip across Featherbed Nature Reserve, followed by the Cape’s Winelands, crossing through whale-watching Hermanus to visit vineyards and taste local wine.

In Cape Town it’s a blend of botanic splendour at Kirstenbosch, dramatic coastal drives to Cape Point, and moments of calm to wander the V&A Waterfront or join in the lively evening at Gold Restaurant. The tour closes with a return flight home from Cape Town, leaving ample scope for travellers to reflect on the diverse landscapes and stories encountered along the way.
