Itineraries (Johannesburg - Durban)

Day 1 Johannesburg

Begin this amazing adventure in South Africa's bustling commercial city.

Days 2-3 Kruger National Park

Travel the famous Panorama Route and take in spectacular Blyde River Canyon, which stretches for nearly 30 km in length. In the Kruger National Park, get a first thrilling chance to sight the Big Five on a full day's game drive.

Day 4 Hlane Royal National Park

It's only a short drive to the tiny kingdom of Swaziland, perched on the slopes of the spectacular Drakensberg Mountains. Explore the lively market, then go white rhino spotting with a walking safari.

Days 5-6 Ponta d'Ouro/Mozambique Beach Camp

African and Portuguese cultures come together in Maputo, Mozambique's charming capital. Stroll its attractive tree-lined streets, browse the colourful central market, relax on a sandy beach or sit down at a sidewalk cafe for a seafood feast. At sundown, perhaps rub shoulders with hip locals, chilling out with a beer in hand or dancing to booming beats in one of the many bars and nightclubs.

Day 7 St Lucia Estuary

Return to South Africa for a game drive through the Hluhluwe-Imfolozi Game Reserve. This is the country's oldest reserve, and encounters with both the critically endangered black and white rhinos are not uncommon.

Day 8 Durban

The trip ends in South Africa's seaside playground. Stay a little longer to enjoy its glamorous waterfront scene or explore extraordinary Muslim and Hindu architecture in the vibrant Indian quarter.
