The adventure

South Africa is a country that thrills at every turn — and this journey blends the wild, the refined, and the unforgettable. Begin in Kruger National Park, tracking lions and elephants on foot alongside expert guides who know the bush like no one else. Then trade safari for sophistication in Stellenbosch, pedalling E-bikes through sun-drenched vineyards and sampling world-class wines straight from the source. Cap it all off with a coastal finale: sipping cocktails atop Table Mountain and winding your way along the dramatic Cape Peninsula. Adventure and indulgence, nature and culture — this is South Africa at its most spectacular.

Cape Town

Known for good food and wine, Stellenbosch offers a welcome contrast to the safari adventures thus far. Set amongst the verdant green vineyards and with the towering Drakenstein mountains in distance, its easy to imagine just sitting and just "being" in this peaceful of a place. But first things first-dig into a three course dinner at Mertia restaurant, known for their colourful plates inspired by what grows locally. Your hardest choice today is whether its wine or coffee after dinner.

Day 7Stellenbosch is known for its beautiful vineyardsChoose to e-bike or hike through the countryside of Stellenbosch. It will be easy to see why it has become an iconic destination for food and wine. The vineyards themselves are sprawled out as far as the eye can see, mountains rising as a backdrop against the rows of vines. While using your e-bike or own two feet to get around, visit a number two vineyards and choose to sample the wine, the delicious coffee, or the gourmet food. Enjoy a picnic lunch before spending the afternoon at leisure.
