Multifaceted South Africa

ABOUT THIS TRIP

This is the classic of all South Africa tours and combines the main highlights of the south and the north. This tour can be started either from Johannesburg to Cape Town or vice versa and involves a lot of driving due to the lack of a domestic flight, but it takes in many of the country's different facets. You will experience fascinating landscapes on the Panorama Route and in the Karoo semi-desert, pristine wildlife in Kruger Park and Zululand, breathtaking mountain ranges in the Drakensberg, endless beaches on the Dolphin Coast and the Garden Route, seasonal whales on the south coast, culinary delights in the wine regions and one of the most beautiful cities in the world, Cape Town.

We are happy to change this tour itinerary or the rental car category according to your individual wishes. Please contact us for your personal offer. This tour can be started all year round, but we recommend focusing on the north from May to August. You should allow at least three weeks for this route. A four-wheel drive vehicle is not necessary for this route, but a car with a higher wheelbase can serve you well in the north.

DAY 3 TO DAY 5 (APPROX. 170 KM):

HOEDSPRUIT

Your destination is the almost 50,000-hectare private Balule Game Reserve in Kruger Park. In contrast to the state-run national parks, only overnight guests have access to the private reserves. The small lodges have a very personal atmosphere. Specially trained rangers ensure a first-class nature experience. A private reserve is preferable for a short stay, as it is much easier to observe animals under expert guidance. Balule has had no fences to the national Kruger Park for many years, so the animals, including the Big Five, can move around freely.

The authentic and unfenced Baluleni Safari Lodge is situated in the unique nature of the Balule Game Reserve overlooking the Olifants River. You can make your first game sightings directly from the viewing deck. All eight detached accommodation units have a bathroom/WC, a minibar, a tea/coffee maker, air conditioning (except Luxury Safari Tent), mosquito nets, a veranda and free WLAN. The spacious Luxury Bushveld Chalet also has a free-standing bathtub in the bathroom as well as a hot tub and an outdoor shower on the veranda. The Luxury Safari Tent has four single beds. The four Riverside Suites overlook the Olifants River. The two Garden Cottages overlook the surrounding nature. The lodge offers a pool, a bar, a restaurant, a boma (traditional campfire dining area) and a bush spa (for a fee).

You take part in two guided game drives per night in an open off-road vehicle (English-speaking, participation with other persons), which are conducted in the afternoon before dinner and in the morning before breakfast. The entrance fees to the Balule Game Reserve must be paid on site.

DAY 5 TO DAY 6 (APPROX. 400 KM):

ESWATINI

The independent kingdom of Eswatini (formerly Swaziland) is an interesting facet of any trip through northern South Africa. Crossing this original and traditional country is very exciting in terms of landscape and culture. The center is the beautiful Ezulwini Valley with the two culturally interesting towns of Mbabane and Manzini on one side and the Mlilwane Wildlife Sanctuary and Mantenga Nature Reserve on the other. Please note that the infrastructure and comfort cannot necessarily keep up with that of South Africa, and you will also have to allow for waiting times when crossing the border. You will be rewarded with an exciting and authentic piece of Africa.

The Foresters Arms is located in the beautiful mountains of Eswatini, about 30 km from the capital Mbabane. The typically African and charming hotel with a lot of flair and heart is surrounded by a beautiful garden with cozy places to linger. The 34 comfortable rooms all have a bathroom/WC, a TV, heating, a telephone, a tea/coffee maker and free WLAN.

Take a boat trip to the iSimangaliso Wetland Park, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, and discover hippos, crocodiles and unique birdlife. The Eastern Shore Section with Cape Vidal is a unique nature retreat with a real bush & beach feeling between the ocean and the evergreen hinterland, which is even home to three of the Big Five. The beautiful beach of St. Lucia with subtropical water temperatures invites you to swim all year round. An excursion to the famous Hluhluwe-Imfolozi Park, the oldest and perhaps most beautiful game reserve in South Africa with its Big Five, is also an absolute highlight.

Your destination is the modern Hilltop Guest House on the edge of St. Lucia in the green forest belt that separates the village from the beach. The town center with stores, restaurants and cafés is around a 15-minute walk away. The beach is a 25-minute walk or a five-minute drive away.

UMHLANGA

Continue to the metropolitan area of the lively metropolis of Durban. Visit the colorful markets or simply relax on one of the many excellent city beaches on the warm Indian Ocean, which invites you to swim here all year round. It is also worth visiting uShaka Marine World, a large aquarium and amusement park with stores and restaurants. The Moses Mabhida Stadium, inaugurated in 2010 for the World Cup, has become a tourist attraction.

In the quiet northern suburb of Umhlanga, the modern guest house Caza Beach is located just a few meters from the sea in a lush green garden.

BLOEMFONTEIN

You continue to Bloemfontein. This city is also known as the "City of Roses" due to its abundance of flowers and the annual Rose Festival. The name literally means "source of flowers" in Afrikaans. The Free State Botanical Garden is therefore the perfect place to go for flower lovers. In Sesotho and Pedi, on the other hand, the city is called Mangaung, which literally means "place of the cheetahs". The modern city with a population of over 400,000 offers some interesting historical buildings and museums as well as good shopping and foodie temples.

The beautiful Abiento Guest House is located in a quiet yet central area of Bloemfontein. The owners have lovingly restored the attractive house, creating spacious and luxurious accommodation. All of the city's attractions are within easy reach by car. All ten rooms are equipped with bath/WC, air conditioning, TV, safe, tea/coffee maker, minibar and free Wi-Fi.

GRAAFF-REINET

Graaff-Reinet is the fourth oldest town in South Africa and is rightly regarded as the jewel of the Little Karoo semi-desert. Thanks to the many Cape Dutch-style buildings, a visit to the town is like walking through a living museum. No other South African town has as many listed buildings as Graaff-Reinet. The imposing Groot Kerk, the "great church", which is modeled on the British Salisbury Cathedral, towers in the center. Just outside the city lies the Valley Of Desolation, a nature reserve with many bizarre rock formations. We recommend the 40-minute Nature Walk, which offers the best views of the Karoo, the valley and the city.

OUDTSHOORN

Oudtshoorn is the jewel of the Little Karoo semi-desert and the largest town along Route 62. A stop at one of the local ostrich farms is a must, where you will learn a lot about the largest and flightless birds in the world. The Cango Caves, a huge stalactite cave landscape that is one of the most impressive in the world, are definitely worth a visit. Adventure-seekers with the right vehicle can take a drive over the famous Swartberg Pass, but guided tours are also available. An insider tip is the Rust en Vrede waterfall, located east of the Cango Caves. Clear nights with little light pollution make for an impressive starry sky, and professional stargazers offer appropriate observation activities. The cute meerkats can be spotted early in the morning on several farms. Some interesting wineries, such as the Karusa Estate, offer wine tastings.

GARDEN ROUTE EXPERIENCE

OPTIONALLY BOOKABLE FROM 125 € PER PERSON

Knysna is a paradise for hikers. You take part in a guided hike in the Robberg Nature Reserve. The small nature reserve, which is considered the most spectacular on the entire Garden Route, is located on a peninsula in the Indian Ocean. You will always have great views of the sea and, with a bit of luck, you may spot fur seals, dolphins, sharks or even whales (seasonal). You will embark on a moderate circular walk lasting around two and a half hours and have the opportunity to enjoy the fantastic surroundings time and again (privately guided, pick-up from your accommodation).

A sunset cruise on the Knysna lagoon is probably the most romantic thing the Garden Route has to offer. The dusk bathes the whole scenery in wonderful shades of orange and red. During the boat trip you have the opportunity to try the oysters for which Knysna is so famous. This is accompanied by a glass of chilled South African white wine. The boat trip departs from Thesen Island (own arrival, with additional persons).

The tour continues to the "whale capital" of South Africa, Hermanus. Here you have the best opportunities to watch whales from the coast between June and November. Of course, you can also take a boat trip out to sea to get even closer to the largest mammals on earth. But Hermanus also has a lot to offer outside the whale season in the South African summer. There are excellent beaches, great restaurants and the Fernkloof Nature Reserve, a unique nature reserve with typical fynbos vegetation and many hiking trails. Even winegrowing has now left its insider status here in the Coastal Region. Over 30 wineries have joined together to form various wine routes.

The beautiful Pelagus Guest House is centrally located in Hermanus, almost directly on the famous Cliff Path. Here you will find peace and relaxation and yet you are within walking distance of many restaurants, cafes and of course the ocean.
