South Africa
Cape Town, the Winelands and Kruger
South Africa, three weeks in one — Cape Town, the Winelands and a Kruger safari.
The most well-rounded country in Africa. Cape Town (Ellerman House, the V&A) for the city, the Cape Winelands (Delaire Graff, Babylonstoren) for the harvest, the private reserves of Greater Kruger (Royal Malewane, Singita Sabi Sand) for the Big Five.
We pair with Victoria Falls and Botswana for a longer southern Africa fortnight.
A year in South Africa
Peak Cape Town beach season, hot and dry.
Harvest in the Winelands, soft light, ideal weather.
Peak Kruger safari, dry, whale watching at Hermanus.
Wildflower bloom in Namaqualand, lambing, ideal weeks.
