Book this itinerary
If you want to experience the best of South Africa, but don't want to do it by yourself, this group trip is the perfect solution. You'll get two weeks of adventure with like-minded backpackers when you explore South Africa all the way from Johannesburg to Cape Town with both highlands, safari and beautiful coastlines as the setting.

 

Touch down in Johannesburg where this group tour kicks off. You'll get picked up in the airport and taken to the hostel where you get to meet the rest of the group.

After a few days in Johannesburg you and the rest of the group continue to Graskop near Blyde River Canyon for a night before continuing to Kruger National Park. It's time for safari in one of the most iconic national parks in Africa. If you're lucky you get to spot all of the Big 5 which is the buffalo, leopard, elephant, lion and rhino. 

From Kruger National Park you head into Eswatini, a small incapsulated country within South Africa that boasts great game drives and beautiful landscapes. You'll be treated with a local Zulu community stay - a great opportunity to take a deep-dive into the local culture.

Continue to Durban, a beautifully located coastal town that welcomes you with a nice sand beach and a great chance to get a bit of tan.

You'll finish the trip with a few days in Cape Town where there's plenty of fun activities on the agenda. Sadly, Cape Town is also where you say goodbye to your new friends. But who knows? Maybe you've found a future travel buddy on this trip.

We have included a flight home from here, but maybe you want to travel more? We have plenty of options for you, just reach out to us!

Johannesburg

You start the group trip in Johannesburg, where you'll meet the rest of the gang. There will be a guided trip to Soweto where you'll get a chance to deep dive into the South African history and cultural heritage. The history itself is not for the faint-hearted but it gives an impression of the country you're about to visit for the next few weeks. After a couple of days here, it's time to move East towards Kruger National Park.

Kruger National Park It's time for safari

On the way to Kruger from Johannesburg you'll take the Panorama Route, and it's not for no reason that name was given. You'll pass some of Africa's most unique landscapes including the area surrounding Graskop. Stay for the night before heading into the National Park itself. You have 2 days to enjoy the vibes at the camp site and the game drives in one of Africa's biggest and most diverse national parks.

Eswatini Wildlife and amazing scenery

Head on from Kruger into Eswatini, the small landlocked country formerly known as Swaziland. Once you cross the border you enter into Hlane National Park, a protected area filled with diverse wildlife and cultural Swazi ecosystems. There will be another game drive as well as a local musical performance created by the rangers once you're again situated around the camp fire.

Zululand & Durban Zulu communities & Beach time

From Eswatini you move back into South Africa again. First stop is another national reserve, from where you'll be transported to a local village where you get the chance to learn everything there is to know about the local everyday life in a small Zulu community.

Enjoy the sunset over beautiful Lake Jozini whilst the local villagers share their stories around the campfire accompanied by a delicious authentic Zulu meal. Next stop is Durban, a coast town, where you have the time to chill by the beach or walk around on the promenade.

Cape Town Big city vibes & iconic natural sights

Final destination of this group trip is magnificent Cape Town. Here you'll visit the iconic Table Mountain from where you can enjoy the breathtaking view over the city. Included is also a tour to Cape Peninsula where there will be stops in both the local fishing village Hout Bay as well as in Cape of Good Hope.

You also get time to explore Cape Town with the rest of your travel mates before it's time to say goodbye for this time. We have included flights home, however if you want to stay or continue your travels, just let us know in advance so we can help you plan the trip.
