Independent Tours

This 13-day tour of South Africa allows you to experience the freedom of life on the open road as well as the knowledge of local professional guides. It’s an ideal balance between independence and peace of mind coupled with some of South Africa’s best-loved small towns and most dramatic coastal scenery. Starting with three nights in Cape Town you’ll be invited on guided tours of the city and the Cape Peninsula. It’s the perfect precursor to a five-day road trip on the Garden Route before flying to Greater Kruger National Park by way of Johannesburg and Hoedspruit. This is where your holiday in South Africa gets wild as you settle into an all-inclusive luxury safari lodge for three nights and embark on two daily game drives in the company of local wildlife experts and professional trackers. If you’re looking for a South African experience that encompasses the culture, the landscapes and the wildlife, this is the one for you.
