Safari Holiday Ideas - ITINERARY-2

Cape Town and a Safari in the Greater Kruger Park

Summary of the Route

For those with limited time who want to see the very best of what South Africa has to offer, a one week trip combining Cape Town with a safari in the Kruger area offers an unbeatable combination.

To make the most of your time, an ideal route is to fly to Cape Town to begin your holiday, where you will have a few days to explore this fascinating city and the surrounding attractions - plus this also gives you time to catch up on any lost sleep after your international flight !

You would then take an internal flight up to Kruger for your safari, and then after your safari, you can fly back to Johannesburg to connect with your international flight home.

*Prices are per person and are based on today's exchange rates. Exchange rates are subject to change and are updated daily.

Prices exclude international flights - ask us if you would like to include these.

Private safari lodges range in price - anything from R1,500 per person per night to over R8,000 per person per night. These rates are fully inclusive of all meals and guided game drives, and the more expensive lodges include extras such as drinks, laundry, etc.

Another factor to consider is the time of year you travel: whilst May to September are the cooler, wetter 'winter' months around Cape Town it is an excellent time to go on safari in Kruger - especially as most lodges offer a 'Low Winter Season' rate, and the prices can drop quite dramatically.

Cape Town

Cape Town is one of the world's most beautiful cities.

Cape Town Harbour at Sunset With a magnificent mountain as its centre, miles of sandy beaches, a colourful and moving history, and countless bars and restaurants, Cape Town captures the hearts of visitors from around the world.

During your stay here, you can take in some or all of the major attractions in the city, which include Table Mountain, Robben Island, township tour, Camps Bay, V&A Waterfront, Kirstenbosch Gardens, and numerous museums and galleries.

Or you can make a day trip down to the Cape Peninsula, stopping on the way there or on the way back at Boulders Beach, which is one of only 2 mainland nesting colonies of African penguins in South Africa.

On Safari in a Private Game Reserve

Lions - Sabi Sand The safari lodges in the private game reserves which make up the Greater Kruger Park area offer possibly the best Big 5 game viewing opportunities to be found on the continent, and provide a truly unforgettable wildlife experience.

Lion, leopard, elephant, rhino, and buffalo are all regular sightings.

Aside from the excellent standard of accommodation, food, and service in the lodges, the main attraction for wildlife enthusiasts is that the guides and trackers who take guests out on their morning and evening game drives are permitted to take their vehicles off-road in order to get closer to the wildlife.

If you want to get within a couple of metres of lions or leopards in the wild, then these are the places to stay - and you can be certain that your safari will be utterly magical.
