5 Days Classic South Africa Safari Holiday
5 Days Classic South Africa Safari Holiday
South Africa is perhaps one of the least widely thought of as a safari destination, thanks to a host of other premier attractions ranging from cosmopolitan Cape Town and the nearby Wine lands to the fine beaches of the Garden Route and lofty peaks of the uKhahlamba-Drakensberg. Yet South Africa boasts some quite superb wildlife viewing destinations, offering a far greater ecological diversity than some of its neighbours.
Safari highlights
- Cape Town and Table mountains
- Kruger national park
