Johannesburg - 3 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, the mining hostels, a visit to a local "shebeen", and the Apartheid Museum. The next day, lie back and relax as you are pampered with a whole day of treatments at an authentic African spa, with all of the food and drinks included. It's a great way to start off the tour before you get into all of the frenetic activity to come!

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.

Panorama Route (Graskop) - 3 nights

This part of the country is blessed with magnificent mountain scenery, as well as a host of other attractions. Highlights encompass the Blyde River Canyon (a boat trip inside the canyon will also be included), the Bourke's Luck Potholes, God's Window, and Pilgrim's Rest (a restored vintage gold-mining village). Those with a more adventurous streak will not be forgotten, and the stay here can also include activities such as the Graskop Gorge Lift, the Big Swing, ziplining, the Long Tom Toboggan, hiking, and many others. There are a number of beautiful waterfalls in the area and many scenic drives, all incorporated within South Africa's largest forested area. If time allows, the group will also visit Jane Goodall's Chimp Eden.

Cape Town - 4 nights

Cape Town is recognized as one of the most beautiful cities on earth, a coming together of culture, cuisine and magnificent landscapes. The area has an overwhelming number of natural attractions, including Table Mountain, the Cape Point National Park, and the penguins at Boulders Beach. You can browse through hundreds of shops and stalls at the V&A Waterfront, take a sunset cruise in Table Bay, visit a couple of the harbors and enjoy some fresh fish for lunch, or simply relax with a cocktail at one of classy beachside cafes. No trip to Cape Town would be complete without a visit to a wine estate or two, where you can indulge yourself by tasting some of the finest export wines in the world.
