The tour in a nutshell: 

**Join us in February 2026 for a great 5 star tour:  13 - 24 Feb for a great tour of Cape Town, a Big 5 safari and Oceana beach and wildlife reserve. 

Cape Town is a stunning  start to your holiday  with amazing highlights.  Our first 4 days is spent in the stunning Clarendon Bantry Bay boutique hotel with great reviews and a tranquil location. {but also an easy drive to many highlights. }

Our caring intuitive tour guide will host you on some lovely day tours, and you will not need to think of anything but enjoying this amazing world class city.   We will take in Table Mountain cable way, the Cape of Good Hope, Penguins,  and some other great highlights like a tree canopy bridge in Kirstenbosch, almost like visiting the Amazon, but set in the most beautiful gardens on the slopes of Table Mountain.

Then we fly up to the amazing Eastern Cape BIG 5 safari reserves. Pick up a rental car, and head off on great quality highways, to easy to find locations with good roadside signage. 

Here the Big 5 beckons, in a malaria free, stunning eco system known as Shamwari The wildlife, is only surpassed by the natural beauty of rolling hills, deep river valleys, and stunning settings for sundowners. Game drives are always a thrill.

4 days at this highly rated  safari, with all meals and 2 safari activities a day, are the center point of this trip.

A really enjoyable experience.

Then we take an easy 90 minutes drive  to OCEANA beach and Wildlife estate,  where we have a stunning location overlooking an unspoilt stretch of Indian ocean beach. 

The next 4 days, is all about slowing down and recharging your batteries before heading back home. 

Our final 2 hour drive back to the Port Elizabeth airport, again on great highways, wraps up the trip, with a quick late afternoon/ early evening flight back to Johannesburg and returning to London that night on an overnight flight. .

Your South African summer adventure awaits you, with no need for malaria meds, or any inoculations.

Join us to soak up the Vitamin D ( with some Vitamin sea and Vitamin safari for good measure)
