Introduction

Get ready for a journey packed with thrill, beauty, and unforgettable moments—a true taste of everything South Africa has to offer. From Big Five safaris in Hluhluwe and cruising with hippos in St Lucia, to dancing with Zulu culture and meeting Africa’s wild cats up close, every day brings a new adventure.

Relax on the untouched beaches of Maputaland, then head for the dramatic Drakensberg Mountains, where you can unwind with stunning views or fly downhill on an eco-friendly Scootour. Along the way, indulge in local treats, explore hidden gems on the Midlands Meander, and stand in awe at the Nelson Mandela Capture Site.

This isn’t just a holiday—it’s a vibrant, heart-pounding, soul-stirring journey through the wild, warm, and wonderful spirit of South Africa.

Thinking of Extending Your Adventure?

If you're tempted to stretch this unforgettable journey just a little longer—you're not alone! It takes something truly special to add the final flourish to “Kingdoms of the Wild”, but we’re here to help make it happen.

Our top tip? Slow things down. After days of exploration, an extra “stay-put” stop or two can be the perfect way to reflect, recharge, and truly soak it all in. Whether you're dreaming of a Cape Town & Winelands escape—where mountains meet vineyards and oceans—or craving the majesty of Victoria Falls, both options connect seamlessly with your itinerary.

Let us help craft the perfect encore to your South African story.
