This itinerary is the best of both worlds - combining the best of South Africa’s culture, wildlife, and nature with the tropical island vibes of Mauritius!

 

Start your adventure in the stunning city of Cape Town. Hike or take the cable car up Table Mountain for incredible views. Explore the lively V&A Waterfront, drive along the scenic Cape Peninsula, and visit Cape Point and Boulders Beach to see the famous penguins. Dive into the city’s rich history with a visit to Robben Island and stroll through the colorful Bo-Kaap neighborhood - the possibilities are endless.

After about a week, you'll fly to Johannesburg where you're going to bike through the famous Soweto township, visiting Nelson Mandela and Desmond Tutu’s homes on Vilakazi Street. Taste local food and drinks, and play games with the community. Just as much ''true'' Africa is going on a safari! You'll be taken to Kruger National Park for an unforgettable wildlife adventure. Enjoy three days of game drives, spotting the Big Five and other animals while camping in comfortable tents in the African bush. Experience guided walks and night drives, getting a comprehensive view of the park’s incredible wildlife.

The cherry on top is yet to come, as you make your way to Mauritius for a tropical ending to your trip. Relax on the pristine beaches or enjoy a bit of surfing - the choice is yours. From here it's time to head home - or not! This is only a suggestion, so if you're keen to prolong your adventures, just talk to us and we'll fix it for you.

Cape Town, Explore the city

You kick off your trip in Cape Town, a great city on the southwest coast of South Africa. There's no shortage of things to do here, like hiking (or take a cable car) up the Table Mountain, visiting Robben Island where Nelson Mandela was held in prison during the apartheid era or make a trip to the Cape of Good Hope (and maybe spot some penguins and ostriches on the way!).

You have almost a full week in Cape Town, so we suggest making good use of it! You can take day trips to Stellenbosch for wine tastings, take some great selfies at Bokaap, hike up Lions Head, take a beach day or spent some time exploring the townships and museums linked to the era of apartheid - there is so much history in South Africa!

Johannesburg, Explore SoWeTo

Experience the heart of Johannesburg with a 3-day SoWeTo orientation tour, offering an active and immersive exploration of the world-famous Soweto township.

Pedal your way through the vibrant streets on a bike, visiting iconic landmarks such as Nelson Mandela and Desmond Tutu's homes on Vilakazi Street. Taste the local flavors with delicious food and drinks, all while getting some exercise and engaging with the lively community.

For those wanting to dive deeper, optional activities include a visit to the Hector Pieterson Memorial Site or a longer bike tour.

Kruger National Park, Spot the big 5

After your experience in the townships of Johannesburg, you will go on a 5 day safari trip in the iconic Krüger National Park. Experience the "wild" side of Africa and if you're lucky, you might get to see the ‘Big 5′, meaning that you will get to encounter (and live among) elephants, lions, rhino, leopards and buffalo. Pretty cool, eh?

Mauritius, Remote island paradise

Next up: beach! Mauritius is a tropical paradise with lots of cool experiences. We recommend exploring the island's stunning beaches, like Flic-en-Flac and Belle Mare, where you can snorkel, dive, and work on your tan.

For a dose of adventure, hike up Le Morne Brabant for breathtaking panoramic views or explore the very pretty Black River Gorges National Park. Don't miss the Seven Colored Earths of Chamarel, a natural phenomenon with multi-colored sand dunes.

For water enthusiasts, kitesurfing in the turquoise lagoons or taking a catamaran cruise to nearby islets are must-dos. Wrap up your trip with a visit to a local rum distillery and enjoy the island's lively nightlife before it's time to go home!
