Cape Town, Soweto and Kruger in 8 days (7 nights)

8 days · South Africa · Cape Town → Kruger

Three nights in Cape Town cover the city, Table Mountain, a day on the Cape Peninsula and a visit to nearby wine farms. A flight to Johannesburg is followed by one night there and a guided visit to Soweto and its apartheid-era history. The last three nights are in the Kruger area, reached by flight, shuttle or self-drive, with morning and afternoon game drives. Two internal moves keep the pace moderate.
