Johannesburg - 2 nights

The Soweto Tour, a fully-guided trip deep into township culture, will allow you to experience this vibrant and lively part of Johannesburg. Highlights include Kliptown (where the Freedom Charter was drawn up), Vilakazi Street (Nobel Peace Prize winners Nelson Mandela and Archbishop Desmond Tutu both had homes here), the Hector Pieterson Memorial site, the Regina Mundi church, and the mining hostels.  You can also sample traditional African fare at one of the many “shebeens”, or have a beer at a local brewery. The tour will conclude with a visit to the Apartheid museum, acknowledged as the pre-eminent museum relating to 20th century South Africa, at the heart of which is the apartheid story.

​Walkers River Camp - 5 nights

Walkers is without a doubt one of the best private game reserves in the country. It is located adjacent to the Kruger National Park, and, as there are no fences between the reserves, animals can move freely throughout this huge conservation area. Your group will have exclusive use of this very comfortable riverside lodge, as well as the full-time services of an experienced ranger and a tracker. Game drives (at least 2 drives per day are included) are all conducted using open-topped 4x4 game viewing vehicles, which allows for very close up and personal animal interactions. You will be pampered and taken care of by the guides, and all meals, snacks and drinks are part of the package.

​Jaydee Camp - 4 nights

Jaydee is a private self-catering camp with 5 en-suite thatched bungalows, a fully equipped kitchen, hospitality area, swimming pool, open braai area and closed boma. Although it is also located in the Timbavati to the north of Walkers, it allows for a very different experience, with varying terrain, vegetation and animals. Your group will again have exclusive use of the lodge, as well as the full-time services of an experienced ranger and a tracker. Two game drives per day will ensure that you are provided with ample game viewing and photographic opportunities, from the freedom of an open-topped vehicle and under the expert care of your guides. All of your meals will be prepared for you, and snacks and drinks are also included.

Dullstroom - 1 night

Dullstroom is a quaint and charming village nestled high in the mountains of Mpumalanga - in fact, with an altitude of 2100 meters (6890 feet) above sea level, it is the highest town in South Africa. It is best known for its crystal clear dams and rivers which are perfect for trout fishing, but other popular outdoor activities include hiking, mountain biking, and an array of adventure sports. Numerous excellent restaurants, coffee shops, a craft-beer brewery, a world-renowned whiskey bar, and eclectic pubs can all be discovered in this beautiful little town. Dullstroom supports a significant arts community and is an escape for artists, writers and musicians, so there are a number of art and craft galleries scattered around the area.
