This 8-day South African vacation takes you from Cape Town to a safari game lodge in Pilanesberg National Park. It features first-class accommodations, independent and shared touring, and is ideal for first-time visitors to South Africa.

Known as the Mother City, Cape Town sits in the shadow of Table Mountain on the beautiful Cape Peninsula. You have three days at leisure to explore the city and surrounds at your own pace. Venture along the Cape Peninsula to gaze out over Cape Point and spot the colony of penguins at Boulders Beach. Head on a day trip through the Winelands and stroll through the historic streets of Franschoek and Stellenbosch. Summit Table Mountain for spectacular views or book a trip to Robben Island to see the infamous island prison where Nelson Mandela was imprisoned for 18 years.

After experiencing the natural and cultural wonders of Cape Town, fly to Johannesburg and connect to Pilanesberg National Park and Ivory Tree Lodge, a malaria-free haven nestled in the basin of an ancient amphitheatre divided by riverine woodlands and ancient elephant trails. Each day, head on a morning and afternoon game drive in an open landrover to search for big game, including the Big Five, cheetahs, and wild dogs. At the end of each day, enjoy sundowners and indulge in a spa treatment or relax by the swimming pool.
