11 Day Kruger, Cape Town & Timbavati Safari

The "mother city" of Cape Town is the starting point of your adventure, where you may stroll around the lively streets, enjoy fine dining and wine, and mingle with the kind inhabitants. The renowned One & Only Cape Town is your home for the next few days; here, you'll enjoy first-rate amenities, sumptuous lodging, and friendly service. Following your exploration of Cape Town's stunning coastline and the charming wine country, you embark on an authentic African safari experience, lodging in the renowned private reserves of Sabi Sands and Timbavati, which are part of the larger Kruger National Park. Although the big five are well-known to exist in both reserves, big cat sightings are the main draw in the Sabi Sands, while seeing uncommon white lions is possible in the Timbavati. During your safari, you will spend time in the bush on guided bush walks and open vehicle game drives, where you will get up close and personal with Africa's animals. Before travelling to the Timbavati for a real tented safari provided by Ngala Tented Safari Camp, you will first enjoy a private and customised safari experience at Sabi Sabi Little Bush. These opulent lodges offer top-notch amenities and outstanding service, making them the perfect option for anyone seeking the very best.
