If you've only got a small window of time, our 7 night trips will bring you the best of South Africa in one unforgettable week. These itineraries combine 4 nights in Cape Town with a 3 night Big Five safari, making them an unbeatable cocktail of cosmopolitan highlife and world-class wildlife.
Cape Town is a fascinating city with a stunning backdrop of Table Mountain. Cape Town really does have something for everyone, from the windswept beaches and trendy bars of the Atlantic coast to the lively buzz of the V&A Waterfront and the stunning panorama from the top of Table Mountain. Cape Town constantly rates as one of the top cities to visit in the world and we couldn't agree more! It's the beating pulse of South Africa and it's a wonderful place to start your trip.
We recommend 4 nights in Cape Town to catch up on sleep, take in the sights and soak up the atmosphere.
Then you'll take an internal flight to the safari destination of your choice. Whether you opt for classic Kruger, one of the reserves in the Eastern Cape or the isolated wilderness of the Madikwe National Park, you can be assured of a really top wildlife experience.
After your safari you will return home, your head swimming with memories. One thing is for sure - it will be a week to remember.
If you're looking for way to maximise your holiday budget, try travelling between May and September. Many properties offer a 'Low Season Winter Rate' or promotional packages such as 'Stay for 3 nights and only Pay for 2' over these months too. Whilst this is technically the cooler, wetter 'winter' months in the Cape, there are still plenty of bright, crisp days and it's an excellent time of year to go on safari in South Africa.
