Day 2 - 3, Kruger National Park
We spend two nights in Kruger National Park, and with cameras and binoculars at the ready, explore the untamed wilderness on game drives in search of the Big 5 – lion, elephant, buffalo, leopard and rhino. There is also the option of going on a spotlighted night drive with the park rangers in search of the nocturnal animals.

Day 4, Swaziland, Malolotja Nature Reserve
We cross into the highlands of the Kingdom of Swaziland, and Malolotja Nature Reserve, a wild region of mountains and forest where the best way to explore is by foot in search of the various antelope and bird life.

Back in South Africa, we head into Zululand and explore the Mkuze Game Reserve, a safe haven for the endangered black rhino and many thousands of the shy and attractive antelope, the nyala.

Day 6, Battlefields
We head into the battlefields region of KwaZulu Natal where the wars between the Boers, British and Zulu Impis raged in the 18th century, and visit Rouke’s Drift and Isandhlwana battlefields and the Tulana Museum before setting up camp near Dundee.

Day 7 – 8, Drakensberg Mountains
The Drakensberg are known as the ‘Barrier of Spears’ in the Zulu language and are today a World Heritage Site for their outstanding natural beauty, known for their vertical rock faces, grassy alpine slopes and thundering waterfalls. Enjoy a full day of hiking, horse riding or swimming.

Day 9 - 11, Wild Coast, Grahamstown, Addo Elephant National Park
We travel through green rolling hills and Xhosa villages and spend two nights on the rugged and remote Wild Coast with its wide swathes of empty beaches, the perfect place for hiking and isolated beach walks. We stop in the historical city of Grahamstown, full of quaint churches, museums, and monuments to the original 1820s settlers, and get close to the large herds of elephant in Addo Elephant National Park.

Day 12 - 13, Garden Route
We reach the Garden Route and stop at the Tsitsikamma National Park, an area of exquisite forest and pounding waves where you may spot dolphins, and visit the resort town of Knysna known for its curio and artist’s shops and oyster restaurants. If you dare, there is the option to experience the highest bungee jump in the world at 217m.

Day 14, Oudtshoorn
We cross the Outeniqua Mountains to Oudtshoorn, and take a tour of the world renowned Cango Caves and have some fun at an ostrich farm where you can take a ride on an ostrich, the largest bird in the world.
