South Africa is a country that thrills at every turn — and this journey blends the wild, the refined, and the unforgettable. Begin in Kruger National Park, tracking lions and elephants on foot alongside expert guides who know the bush like no one else. Then trade safari for sophistication in Stellenbosch, pedalling E-bikes through sun-drenched vineyards and sampling world-class wines straight from the source. Cap it all off with a coastal finale: paddling across glittering Table Bay, sipping cocktails atop Table Mountain, and winding your way along the dramatic Cape Peninsula. Adventure and indulgence, nature and culture — this is South Africa at its most spectacular.
