Short Description
South Africa, also called The Rainbow Nation, is a country filled with surprises at every corner. From jaw-dropping coastline to vibrant cities to the African wild, there is really something for the whole family. Tour three different regions and see the best of the best in each city with fun, informative tours in each place. This is one vacation you'll never forget!
Begin in Johannesburg, more commonly known as "Jo’burg" or "Jozi". Spend the day touring South Africa's largest city while you get adjusted to life down south (it's the southernmost country on the Eastern Hemisphere!) Then it's off to Cape Town, a melting pot of cultures and beautiful landscapes. While you're there for four days, enjoy three tours that will take you to popular kids attractions in the city's heart, seaside vistas, and verdant wine country.
You'll then hop on a plane to the Eastern Cape, home of the Kariega Game Reserve where you'll spend your remaining three nights. The whole family will go nuts seeing cheetahs, giraffes, elephants and more on twice-daily safari drives on the reserve. Seeing the world's fiercest predators up close is promised to be a memory you'll never forget! Other activities at the malaria-free reserve include boat cruises, walking safaris, canoeing, and fishing.

Portugal wine regions was a great…
Ireland B&B's
Flights were not great...delays and cancellations, but I think that is on the airlines, not GVV.
Overall I think it was a great value.
Thank you GVV
The travel accommodations were just what we needed and expected.
Your service was great and we got everything that we were promised.
People at the Hotel Riu were helpful, friendly and took care of all our needs while we were there.
The only downside of the trip was the quality of the food at the all-inclusive Hotel Riu Santa Fe. In the future, we will stay look to stay at Hotel where the food is much better.
Outside of that, we thank you for your assistance, as it made this a great family trip!
Amazing Trip to Ireland!
