Four nights in Cape Town and the Winelands, then four in the Sabi Sand at two lodges, with flights between them.
This is a slow, thorough South Africa. You spend four nights in and around Cape Town, with a day in the Winelands, then four nights in the Sabi Sand at two different lodges, which gives you eight game drives and a chance to see how different two camps can feel.
It is the trip for travellers who want to enjoy both the city and the bush and not hurry through either.

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 flights depend on the airline schedule and will be confirmed when you enquire. Sightings of any single species cannot be guaranteed.
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.
