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.

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!
