Itinerary

Ready to cross "epic African adventure" off your bucket list? The "Cape Town to the Serengeti: Deserts & Wilderness" tour package takes you on a 40-day odyssey from South Africa’s southern tip to the legendary Serengeti in Kenya. Designed for young adults with a zest for discovery, this moderately active journey covers eight countries, world-famous sand dunes, the Okavango Delta, Victoria Falls, and vibrant local cultures. Overland travel, immersive camping, and interactions with the San People ensure every day is filled with new sights and stories. The USP is the unique blend of off-the-beaten-path experiences and classic highlights, offering an unparalleled, panoramic exploration of Africa’s wildest corners.

day 1Cape Town

Arrive at any time.
Tonight, get to know your group on your first night out together in Cape Town. After a brief welcome meeting and optional dinner out together, head to the clubs on Long Street to explore the vibrant nightlife. Put those dancing shoes on and get to know your fellow travel buddies as the adventure begins!
Get the most out of your time in Cape Town by pre-booking the South African Wine Tour and Tasting extra. If you do, we recommend booking accommodation for an extra night pre-tour as this activity has an early start time. Please note, due to the timings of this activity, there is a possibility you may miss the welcome meeting on day 1 of your tour - in this case, your CEO will leave you a message detailing what time and where you should meet the next morning.
