We enter the Kruger National Park each day for game drives. This is South Africa’s best known wildlife reserve, an enormous area offering unrivalled opportunities for game viewing including Africa’s ‘big five’ (leopard, lion, elephant, rhino and elephant), abundant grazing animals – giraffe, zebra, antelope - and prolific birdlife.
DAY 3 – 4 Swaziland, Big Game Parks Mlilwane Wildlife Sanctuary
We continue to Swaziland, a mountainous landlocked kingdom sandwiched between Mozambique and South Africa for two nights. We visit Mlilwane Wildlife Sanctuary, the Royal Enclosure and have time to browse local craft markets and factories before we return to South Africa.

We cross back into KwaZulu-Natal and enjoy a game drive in Hluhluwe/ Umfolozi Game Reserve. We visit a local village and see St Lucia before we drive down the coast to Durban.
DAY 8 – 9 Durban, Cintsa, Wild Coast
Continuing on we pass through the rugged Wild Coast, where the native Xhosa people are rooted deeply in tradition and custom. We have two nights in the charming town of Cintsa to enjoy the beach and unspoilt coastline.
DAY 10 – 12 Addo Elephant National Park, Tsitsikamma National Park, Knysna
Addo Elephant National Park marks the start of the ‘Garden Route’. The park is sanctuary for buffalo, rhino, antelope and elephant, much of which we hope to see on an afternoon game drive.

The Cape is renowned for its vineyards and we sample the products of a local winery before continuing to Cape Town, one of the world’s most picturesque cities, where our tour ends.
