20 days tour
Johannesburg To Cape Town
Guide
There is a local leader plus one driver/assistant and local guides where needed.
Accommodation
For this 20-day adventure through South Africa, Eswatini (Swaziland) and Lesotho, we have picked a selection of accommodations, each well located for our activities. We stay in a range of log cabins, chalets, hotels and permanent tented camps โ the latter is a quintessential African experience that allows you to experience nature while enjoying the comforts of a regular room. We mostly stay in three-star properties throughout this itinerary. In Cape Town, we have an ideal location between the city centre and the V&A Waterfront, a star attraction in the city packed with restaurants, shops and buzzy bars. Conversely, we spend many nights in the middle of nowhere, such as our time within Kruger National Park where the calls of lions and hippos provide a very different experience to our time in the populated areas of South Africa. While our normal hotels used are listed in the day-to-day itinerary, below are some of the notable stays on this trip. Northern Drakensberg: Alpine Heath Resort (nights 9-10) This stylish four-star resort has an idyllic setting in the heart of the Drakensberg. Beautiful alpine views can be enjoyed from every part of the property regardless of whether you are relaxing with a drink at your chaletโs patio or going for a paddle in one of the outdoor swimming pools. There are also five eateries including La Gruyereโs Restaurant or the Pool Bar to choose from while you enjoy downtime between walks. Hermanus: Windsor Hotel (night 16) The 120-year-old Windsor Hotel sits opposite Walker Bay, one of the best whale-watching destinations in the world when southern right whales migrate to the bay to breed (July to November). Whale-watching is even possible from the comfort of the hotel restaurant. However, the location of the property is also ideal out of season with a central setting within town and quick access to the 7.5mi (12km) Hermanus Cliff Path. Worth knowing Wifi is available in several properties but not everywhere and it can be unreliable. Private bathrooms are available throughout the majority of the tour; however, in Kruger National Park there are shared facilities and in the Drakensberg we stay in chalets where two rooms share one bathroom and a lounge area. The single supplement applies to the bedrooms only and you may have to share a bathroom on certain nights.
Transport
The vehicle used depends on the group size, but it is a minibus in style and fitted with individual forward-facing seats and tows a trailer for equipment and luggage. There are some long driving days, but the scenery is breath-taking so this should not prove too much of a hardship.
Others
All sightseeing and activities stated as included.
Meals
All breakfasts, 16 lunches and 13 dinners are included. Your guide and driver/assistant generally prepare the meals included in this trip. Below is a rough idea of what you can expect: Breakfast: Cereals, coffee, tea and toast, plus the occasional cooked breakfast. Lunch: Cheese, cold meats, salads, bread or rolls, and fresh fruit. Dinner: Potjies (stew), braais (barbecue), stir fries, pasta with fresh vegetables. We need at least two weeksโ notice to deal with special dietary requirements (eg vegetarian or allergies). For this reason, if you did not indicate these on your booking form, please advise us as soon as possible. The tour leaders do all the shopping, meal planning and cooking for each group. They always try to obtain fresh produce wherever possible. We also supply fruit squash, tea and coffee with breakfast, and tea or coffee with dinner. All other beverages are at your own expense. The water provided on this trip is safe, clean drinking water, normally from boreholes. If you would rather have bottled water then this is at your expense, though we would encourage you to make use of the safe drinking water provided as this helps reduce plastic consumption.
