South Africa Self-Drive

This three-week journey through South Africa is a rich immersion into the country's vast diversity. After arriving in Johannesburg, you’ll fly straight to a private game reserve in the Kruger region, where several days are spent on unforgettable safaris guided by skilled rangers. From sunrise game drives to sunset bushwalks, the African wilderness comes alive. Next, you travel through the mountainous kingdom of eSwatini, with its peaceful sanctuaries and cultural encounters, before returning to South Africa for more wildlife viewing in Hluhluwe-Imfolozi, known for rhino conservation. The dramatic Drakensberg Mountains offer spectacular hiking and scenery before heading to Durban, where Indian and African influences meet. A short flight brings you to Port Elizabeth, the start of your Garden Route drive. From Tsitsikamma’s forested coast to the charm of Knysna and historic Swellendam, the landscapes constantly evolve. Continue via Cape Agulhas and seaside Hermanus to Cape Town, stopping in the Winelands for a taste of local vintages. Cape Town itself offers everything from coastal drives to penguin colonies, Table Mountain to Robben Island. The final days balance discovery and reflection in one of the world’s most compelling destinations, where natural beauty, history and cultural resilience shape every moment.
