Cape Town, three nights on the Garden Route and three at Addo, with a flight home from Gqeberha.
This is the full southern route. You begin in Cape Town, drive the coast to the Garden Route for three nights, continue to the elephants of Addo for three more, and finish with a night in Cape Town before your flight home.
It combines city, coast and bush in a malaria-free trip, so it is a good choice for families and for anyone who would rather avoid prophylaxis.

Prices are per person, in US dollars, and depend on the number of travellers sharing the vehicle and guide. They are sample rates for planning and will be confirmed when you enquire, as lodge and permit prices change each year. The flight from Gqeberha depends on the airline schedule.
Best time for this trip May to Mar
Pack light, neutral colours for game drives, a warm fleece for early mornings, a sun hat, good sunscreen and insect repellent. Binoculars are provided in the vehicle, but bring your own if you are a keen birder or photographer. Light aircraft have a soft-bag limit of 15 kg per person including hand luggage, so leave the hard suitcases at home.
