South Africa is a country that you should visit at least once in your life. With its sun-kissed beaches, majestic mountain peaks, and golden savannas; this biodiverse country is everything you expect and so much more.
Your journey begins in the “Mother City” of Cape Town, where you explore the vibrant streets, savor world-class cuisine and wines, and interact with the friendly locals. Your home for the next few days is the award-winning One & Only Cape Town, where you will experience extraordinary facilities, opulent accommodation, and warm hospitality.
After exploring the gorgeous coastline of Cape Town and the picturesque wine country, you head off on a true African safari adventure, staying in two famous private reserves located in the Greater Kruger National Park: Sabi Sands and Timbavati. Both reserves are renowned for the Big Five, but the Sabi Sands is most famous for its big cat sightings, while Timbavati offers the opportunity to see rare white lions. Your time on safari will be spent exploring the wilderness on open vehicle game drives and guided bush walks, encountering Africa's wildlife up-close.
You will first enjoy an intimate and personalized safari experience at Sabi Sabi Little Bush before heading to the Timbavati for an authentic tented safari offered at Ngala Tented Safari Camp. Both lodges are ultra-luxurious with world-class facilities and exceptional service, making it an ideal choice for travelers wanting the best of the best.
Today you will be met on your arrival at Cape Town International Airport and transferred to your luxurious Waterfront hotel for check-in. During your stay in Cape Town, you will have the opportunity to explore the bustling V&A Waterfront only a short walk from your hotel, as well as other top attractions. Cape Town is a friendly city with a wide range of activities for everyone. We highly recommend visiting Table Mountain, Boulders Beach, which is home to African penguins, and the Cape Winelands for some fine cuisine and world-class wines. One of our expert consultants will be more than happy to discuss the various options available to you.
Accommodation: One&Only Cape Town
After a sumptuous breakfast, you bid farewell to the vibrant city of Cape Town as you transfer by road back to Cape Town International Airport for your scheduled flight to Skukuza Airport. On arrival, you will be met and transferred to your camp for check-in. The reserve is home to the Big Five (elephant, rhino, lion, leopard, and buffalo), as well as cheetah, wild dog, and hundreds of other species of animals, birds, and plants indigenous to the area. Highly trained and experienced rangers and Shangaan trackers ensure that your safari experience ranks amongst the best in the world.
Discover the beauty of the reserve with exciting morning and afternoon/evening open-vehicle game drives, and for the more adventurous traveler, there are guided bush walks that truly immerse you in nature and heighten each of your senses.
Accommodation: Sabi Sabi Little Bush Camp
After one final game drive in the Sabi Sand Game Reserve and a warm breakfast, you will transfer by road to the Timbavati Game Reserve, where you will check into your luxury tented camp. The 15,000-hectare Timbavati Game Reserve is most famous for being the home of the world's last white lions living freely in the wild. Over and above these magnificent creatures, the reserve boasts more than 40 mammal species, including the Big Five, and 260 species of birds - a paradise for bird lovers.
Venture out into the bush on morning and afternoon/evening open-vehicle game drives and enjoy one of the camp's popular nature walks. The walks are led by an armed guide and offer the opportunity to discover the smaller wondrous creatures of the African bush, as well as the various plants that flourish on the reserve.
Accommodation: Ngala Tented Safari Camp
After one final safari adventure in the African bush, you sit down to a hearty breakfast before gathering your belongings and transferring by road to Hoedspruit Airport for your scheduled flight to Johannesburg's OR Tambo Airport. Once in Johannesburg, you will connect with your onward travel arrangements.

Great advice, responsive and knowledgeable!
Pascal John at Safari.com guided me on different safari lodges (experience, rating), and most importantly knew about specials (buy 3 nights, get 4th for free) which allowed my family to secure a 5-star location at a more reasonable rate. Great advice, responsive and knowledgeable!

Anja at Safari.com was a great partner to work with!
Working with Anja at Safari.com was great. She was able to work some magic and got us a few nights at the safari lodge we really wanted, Ngoma. Unfortunately, our flight from the USA to South Africa was canceled and we were rebooked a day later but Anja was great about making sure our lodge and the transports knew about the change in plans and made sure we got to our trip as soon as we could. She was a great partner to have and communicated quickly whenever we reached out. I would highly recommend using her when planning a trip to Africa!
