Cape Town to Kruger National Park

Tours leave with a minimum of 4 guests.

Overview

The iconic Table Mountain is Cape Town’s most inviting landmark. Over the years, more than 16 million people have climbed or caught a cable car ride up its slopes, and have been rewarded with the mesmerizing sight below it, of the fairest Cape in the entire world. Now, it is your time to join in this exhilarating experience on this tour.

Other Cape attractions lend their own magic to your travels as well. Relive the legend of the fabled African ‘Lost City”, accompanied by torch bearers to light your way, and surrounded by gold treasure.  You may choose to strut alongside our very friendly, African Penguins on Boulders Beach, or simply catch a wave with them. The dramatic, cliff top  drive of Chapman’s Peak to Cape Point has been described as one of the most spectacular stretches of coastal roads in the world, and you too will experience this for yourself. We take you also on a breathtaking trip to Cape Point Nature Reserve, the summit of the last finger of land reaching southwards, to where the warm Indian Ocean meets the mighty, cold Atlantic, and you feel that you can see forever to the South Pole!

Engage with nature in all its untamed, African splendour in the Kruger National Park. Time to sharpen your Big 5 spotting skills and listen to the primordial roar of lions across the expansive wilderness.  Get up as close to cheetah, leopard, wildebeest, rhino, giraffe and zebra in the wild, as you ever will, under the watchful eye and protection of your highly trained and experienced game ranger.   Journey to the deepest, “green” canyon in the world, whose towering cliffs plunge precipitously to the ravine floor, carved into the earth’s surface by the Blyde River.  Return home, energized and enriched by this vibrant, fascinating country.
