Kruger Park & Garden Route

ABOUT THIS TRIP

Experience five of South Africa's essential highlights on this tour. In a private game reserve in Kruger Park, you will encounter the Big Five and all of Africa's other wildlife. Breathtaking landscapes await you along the Panorama Route and in the Little Karoo semi-desert. On the Garden Route and South Coast, you will discover endless beaches and even whales during certain seasons. In the wine regions, you can enjoy fine wines and good food. Cape Town is one of the most beautiful cities in the world.

You don't want to drive yourself, but a small group tour doesn't have the right start date for you and a privately guided tour is too expensive? Then our English-speaking chauffeur-driven tours are just the right alternative. Your private chauffeur will take you from place to place, where you will then take part in privately guided day activities and excursions (with the exception of game viewing activities with other people). However, you do not have the all-round support of a continuous tour guide. All chauffeur-driven tours can start daily and can be adapted to your wishes at any point beforehand. The more people take part in your own chauffeur-driven tour, the lower the price per person.
