Itinerary

Day 1 Welcome to Doha, Qatar!

Touch down in the luxurious land of modern architecture, traditional Arabian markets, and sparkling blue coasts. Qatar's capital of Doha is a popular city filled with museums, cafes, markets, and shops.

Upon arrival, enjoy a comfortable transfer to your posh hotel. Spend the night settling in, or head out and start exploring on your own!

Day 2 Doha

After a rejuvenating breakfast, grab your camera and embark on your half-day Doha city tour! See the very best of what the city has to offer, with an experienced local guide by your side.

Later in the day, you might want to re-visit one of your favorite sites you saw during the tour that you wished you'd had more time at. Spend some time souvenir shopping and treat yourself to a delicious dinner in the bustling downtown area!

Day 3 Doha

Enjoy a pleasant breakfast, then make the best of your last day in Qatar! You might want to start your day by checking out the Museum of Islamic Art. Then, relax on the Doha Corniche, a waterfront promenade stretching along the bay.

Pay a visit to the spectacular Villaggio Mall, a shopping mall with a turquoise canal running through it! In the evening, be sure to wander around Souq Waqif, a centuries-old outdoor market filled with vendors selling fabric, spices, and souvenirs. The beautiful area is dotted with cafes, so it's the perfect place to stop for dinner!

 

Day 4 Doha - Cape Town, South Africa

Wave goodbye to Qatar and say hello to sunny South Africa! Enjoy a convenient ride to the airport and a relaxing flight into colorful Cape Town. Upon arrival, find your transfer and unwind at your luxurious hotel.

Tonight, spend the evening getting to know the city. Treat yourself to a delicious dinner on Kloof Street or watch a beautiful sunset on the Sea Point Promenade! 

Day 5 Cape Town

Enjoy an energizing breakfast and get ready for a full day of fun and spectacular scenery! Set out on your full-day Cape Peninsula Tour, on which you'll see penguins at Boulders Beach, visit the stunning Cape Point Nature Reserve, and much more! 

Wear good walking shoes and have your camera charged and ready!

Day 6 Cape Town

Eat a good breakfast and get ready to "cheers" the day away! Enjoy a beautiful guided day through South Africa's renowned wine country. Be sure to try the region's signature wine, Pinotage, an oaky, smokey red that pairs perfectly with meaty South African dishes.

Day 7 Cape Town

Immerse yourself in the culture and beauty of Cape Town today! Enjoy an interesting tour of the city, then experience Table Mountain up-close.

In the afternoon, be sure to check out Camps Bay, a breathtaking local beach dotted with lovely restaurants, bars, and cafes. If you have time, definitely take a sunset hike up Lion's Head for unbelievable views of the Twelve Apostles.

Day 8 Cape Town - Kruger National Park

Pack your bags - you're goin' to the wild! Hop in a comfortable transfer to the airport and take a quick flight to Hoedspruit Airport (HDS), where you will transfer to Kruger National Park. With game drives twice a day, delicious meals, and activities around the lodge, there is more than enough to keep you entertained morning, noon, and night. 

Day 9 Kruger National Park

This is the moment you've been waiting for - your first safari adventure! Enjoy an early morning drive, as well as another one in the late afternoon. You never know what you might see! Look for lions, elephants, giraffe, zebras, and more!

In-between game drives, enjoy delicious meals and relax at the lodge.

Day 10 Kruger National Park

Guess what? Another day of safari! In-between drives, take a dip in the pool and keep your eyes peeled for animals in the distance. If you didn't see your favorite animal yesterday, there's a good chance you will today!

Day 11 Depart South Africa

The last day already!? We know - time flies when you have fun. Enjoy one last safari breakfast, squeeze all your souvenirs into your luggage, and hop in your transfer to Hoedspruit Airport, where you will begin your trip home. 

Til' next time, SA!

There were six of us all traveling together which I had made clear when I called GVV. Our tour did not include transfers, which was not made known to us. Can you imagine 6 old ladies winding up in a foreign country trying to find out how to get to their hotels, train stations, etc., what a disaster! You also had us traveling on different times on the trains between cities which was not brought to our attention and was a disaster.

I hate to give bad reviews, but if this review will help in better customer service, it’s worth a try.

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

Overall, this was a very nice trip. The hotels were all good quality and the train departure times were good. My only complaint was that while the hotel in Budapest was very nice, it was pretty far from all the sites we wanted to visit. The other hotels were in good locations. The value of the package was excellent.
