Best of the Cape and Kruger

Upon arrival in Cape Town, you will be met by a local representative and transferred to your guest house in a suburb of Cape Town. The rest of the evening is at your leisure to explore the beautiful city, enjoy dinner at one of the many restaurants in the area, or have a well-deserved rest after your long trip. Overnight in Cape Town

Today you embark on a full day tour of the Cape Peninsula, where you will be able to see the beaches of Clifton and Camps Bay, cruise to Seal Island, and visit the African Penguin breeding colony at Boulders Beach. The world-renowned Kirstenbosch Gardens and the Cape of Good Hope Nature Reserve are also on the agenda, along with the symbolic meeting of the Indian and Atlantic Oceans at the top of the Peninsula and spectacular views over False Bay. Overnight in Cape Town

Today’s tour of the Cape Winelands takes you through superb mountain ranges, vineyards and Cape Dutch homesteads to the heart of South Africa’s wine industry. The full-day tour includes three wine tastings (included) and a lunch stop (not included) before arriving back at your accommodation. Overnight in Cape Town

Nestled between mountain and sea, the Grootbos Private Nature Reserve is a five-star eco-paradise showcasing the incredible Flora and Marine life of the Southern Tip of Africa. Home of the “Marine Big 5” – whales, sharks, dolphins, seals and penguins – and with unparalleled floral diversity, Grootbos offers you a one-of-a-kind luxury African experience. You will travel here from Cape Town, enjoying the stunning drive on the way to the world-renowned Garden Route. Overnight at Grootbos Forest Lodge

The Forest Lodge

The Cape Floral Kingdom, although the smallest of the world’s six kingdoms, boasts unmatched levels of diversity, with more than three times the floral species of the Amazon Jungle. Subjected to scorching summer sun, nutrient-poor soils and recurring veld fires, the Cape Flora known as Fynbos prospers defiantly in the face of natural adversity. Feast on the finest cuisine and locally sourced wines while watching spectacular sunsets over the ocean; treat yourself to a rejuvenating spa treatment in our ancient forest; or join a specialized guide to discover the wonders of this floral and marine paradise by foot, horseback, 4×4, boat or plane! Several activities are included and there are many additional options. If you are more of a thrill-seeker, consider cage-diving to chance a close-up encounter with the Great White Sharks! This optional activity is offered nearby (weather dependent, not included). Overnight at Grootbos Forest Lodge

After a morning activity (time permitting), you will be transferred back to the Cape Town airport for a scheduled flight to Skukuza (flight not included) and a road transfer to your safari camp. Enjoy an afternoon game activity in Southern Kruger National Park. Overnight at Rhino Plains Camp

While on safari in Kruger, you will enjoy morning and afternoon game activities with knowledgeable rangers. In the morning, explore the African wilderness on foot in the care of highly experienced trail rangers. Immerse your senses in the little things, learning about plants, spoor, tracking and the tastes, sights and sounds of wilderness up close. In the afternoon, a short walk is combined with a safari game drive, allowing you to experience the best of both worlds. Whether it is a leopard on the hunt, lions roaring at twilight, hippo wallowing in the river, or a crocodile basking on a sandy bank, each viewing will become a lifetime memory. Overnight at Rhino Plains Camp

You will be transferred to the Skukuza Airport for your onwards arrangements (flight not included, Borton can assist with flight arrangements).
