This unforgettable 10-day journey through South Africa offers a rich blend of wildlife, culture, cuisine, and spectacular scenery. The tour begins with a stay at Becks Safari Lodge in the heart of the Greater Kruger National Park, where guests embark on thrilling game drives in search of Africa’s iconic Big Five: lion, leopard, elephant, rhino, and buffalo. Immersed in the untamed beauty of the bush, there are opportunities to unwind with optional spa treatments, guided nature walks, or quiet moments of birdwatching under the African sky.

From the wilderness of the savannah, the tour transitions to the cosmopolitan energy of Cape Town. Guests will dive into local culture on a walking foodie tour through Bo Kaap and De Waterkant, sampling Cape Malay dishes, traditional South African cuisine, and ceremonial drinks. The scenic Cape Peninsula Discovery Tour unveils natural wonders like Chapman’s Peak Drive, Cape Point, and the penguin colony at Boulders Beach.

Another highlight is a helicopter flight over Cape Town, offering a breathtaking bird’s-eye view of the city’s dramatic coastline and Table Mountain. This is followed by a visit to Robben Island, where Nelson Mandela was famously imprisoned—an experience that powerfully connects the country’s beauty with its complex history.

The final chapter of the journey explores the Cape Winelands, including wine and cheese tastings at Fairview Wine Farm and a visit to the Afrikaans Taal Monument. A culinary walking tour in Stellenbosch showcases the region’s flavors through artisan food tastings, craft beer, and biltong, South Africa’s signature cured meat.

With expert local guides, solo-friendly accommodations, and a well-paced itinerary, this tour offers a captivating and seamless way to discover the heart and soul of South Africa—through its landscapes, wildlife, flavors, and stories.
