Day 2 Cape Town
Today you will spend your first full day in Cape Town on a half-day tour taking you to the top of the iconic Table Mountain and the lush Company Gardens. After the tour, consider a visit to the vibrant-colored Bo-Kaap district, which is rooted in Malaysian, African, Indian and Sri Lankan culture.

Day 5 Cape Town - Pilanesberg National Park
After an early breakfast, enjoy a transfer to Cape Town International Airport for your flight to Johannesburg. Once you've arrived, you will be transferred to your safari destination at Pilanesberg National Park & Game Reserve, one of the most popular reserves in South Africa. Set within the crater of an ancient volcano, Pilanesberg is ancient history come alive. Embark on your first safari drive and see incredible wildlife up close!
Day 6 Pilanesberg National Park
Continue exploring Pilanesberg National Park's wildlife and terrain. The relatively small size of the park and its unusual ecological richness make seeing the Big 5 much easier.

Day 7 Pilanesberg National Park
On your last full day in Pilanesberg, consider pampering yourself with a relaxing spa treatment at your lodge or lounging by the infinity pool. Dine on exotic meats and sip South African wine as you embrace your last starry night on the African savanna.
Day 8 Pilanesberg National Park - Johannesburg
After an early morning game drive and breakfast, you'll be transferred to Johannesburg. Enjoy the rest of your day at leisure, perhaps by strolling through Nelson Mandela Square, just minutes from your hotel in the suburb of Sandton.
Day 9 Depart South Africa

Wasn’t a great experience or Great Value
Booking travel deals online can be hectic because you don’t have a direct contact person. You call a 800- number if there is a issue and you get who you get.
I had an issue with my PNR number not working when it was time to
Check in for the plane and because it took me almost 2 hours when I finally got checked in, we were the last seats on the very back of the airplane. Well you deal with it because you’re going to Hawaii.. just happy to have a seat.it was frustrating calling the airlines and I was directed back to Great Value ..
We got that issue resolved.
Now we get to the hotel and was told the daily resort fee was double the amount that we were quoted.
The quote we were given verbally over the phone was $29.98 and when we got to the resort it was 59.98 . It wasn’t a issue with the price , it’s the inconsistency of getting the correct info when you call and it’s not explained thoroughly in the paper work, and hotels aren’t to kind when you book thru 3rd party contracts. It appears everything is a good price but you are on the bottom of the totem pole for everything .. plane rides .. very last group and seat , back of the hotel airport bag fees.. not so sure this was a great value and no one cares after they get your money . I’m still waiting for a Manager to call me back and my vacation is over
Awesome location
This was a great vacation for what we…
