You will be touring through Cradock, Tsitsikamma Forest, Mlilwane Wildlife Sanctuary and 9 other destinations in Swaziland, Lesotho and South Africa. "South African Explorer" is a group trip which will include accommodation, transport, meals and others. Please check the package includes section for more details.

From magnificent animals and breathtaking scenery to history and local culture, this safari across South Africa, Swaziland, and Lesotho has it all. There is plenty of time to enjoy superb game watching chances in Kruger and Hluhlwe-Umfolzi National Parks before exploring Swaziland's rich culture and traditions. The Garden Route is one of the best road trip itineraries, and depending on the time of year, it offers the best possibility to see Southern Right Whales!
