What's this trip about?

The Victoria and Alfred Waterfront is Cape Town’s vibrant hub, and where your Southern Africa safari begins. Spend a few days exploring this colorful city, where you will sample South Africa’s best wines, innovative dining and visit the Cape of Good Hope, with a history dating back to the 15th century. This region makes up only 0.5% of Africa, and yet it is home to more than 20% of the continent’s plants. Fly to the bush for the start of your African safari at Royal Malewane in the Thornybush Game Reserve, and onto Singita in a private concession in the Kruger National Park. Both regions offer a diverse bush experience with phenomenal game viewing and guiding for a truly unforgettable African safari. The Silo, towering over the bustling Victoria and Alfred Waterfront and the yacht marina (3 nights), Royal Malewane located in Thornybush Private Game Reserve on the Western Border of The Greater Kruger National Park (3 nights), Singita Sweni set in 33, 000 acre private concession in the Kruger National Park (3 nights)
