About the trip

This Riviera Travel escorted tour sets out from Cape Town, where city bustle meets mountain and sea. Start with the Kirstenbosch Botanical Gardens and the coastal vistas along Chapman’s Peak, then savour Stellenbosch's winelands with cellar tours amidst Cape Dutch architecture. The itinerary includes leisure time to explore Cape Town’s waterfront and nearby beaches.

Journeying from coastal stops like Betty's Bay and the whale-watching town of Hermanus to the Little Karoo's unique landscapes, travellers encounter ostrich farms and the towering Yellowwood of Tsitsikamma. The tour moves inland for game viewing in Addo Elephant National Park, where a lodge nestled among the wilderness offers evening safaris, and continues with excursions in Hluhluwe National Park, renowned for its white rhino population. The boat trip on Lake St Lucia offers a chance to spot hippos and crocodiles in their natural wetland habitat.

The tour concludes in Durban after a flight from Port Elizabeth. Riviera Travel's small group format offers the chance to experience South Africa’s varied scenery and wildlife with a mix of guided tours and free days, giving visitors space to follow their interests within a structured itinerary.
