Overview
Discovering Hidden Treasures in Africa
This 10-day adventure journey sweeps you from the urban pulse of Johannesburg to Botswana’s wild wonders—gliding past elephant herds along the Chobe River, navigating the Okavango Delta’s liquid wilderness by mokoro canoe, and soaring to the coastal heights of Cape Town. Your safari-to-summit experience will be expertly guided by professional rangers and local representatives at every destination. You have the option of taking this adventure as a standalone package or combining it with our other Southern Africa itineraries; aptly crowned by Table Mountain’s "tablecloth" cloud veil, Cape Town offers iconic peaks, penguin beaches, and cliff-hugging coastal drives that define awe.
Immerse yourself in Cape Town’s iconic Table Mountain and coastal wonders, Sun City‘s luxury resort thrills, Pilanesberg’s Big Five safaris, Johannesburg’s cultural pulse, and Mozambique’s idyllic “Azure Coast” in Vilanculos. Your experience will be expertly facilitated by professional guides and lodge specialists throughout the itinerary. You have the option of taking this adventure as a standalone package or combining it with our other East Africa wilderness extensions. Aptly called the “Mother City“, Cape Town blends mountain majesty with ocean beauty as Africa’s southernmost cultural hub.

"Exceptional Service, Patient & Problem Solver"
Jonny provides personalized service, and goes the extra mile. We travelled to CT as a group of 14 over the Easter break and he really went above and beyond to make sure our trip went smoothly...coming up with solutions when we had hiccups around visas and payments, and ensuring that we were happy. He also supported us in getting a house and organizing transport. He was patient and friendly, especially when we needed to sort out visas and payments. Thanks Jonny, and we look forward to working with you on our next trip!
