This little golden nugget of a trip, is really for those who want a 2 stop highlight of a great experience in Cape Town, combined with an enjoyable, owner run safari lodge near Kruger National Park's central region. It is a private safari reserve, so no crowds, no day visitors, no mass tourism safari experience.
Arriving in Cape Town, this is a 7 night, 8 day itinerary, ending in Johannesburg.
The main focus of this tour is personal attention from owners in a small safari lodge, and also a lovely, yet classy family friendly hotel in Cape Town, close to many of the main attractions.
“Needless to say, our overall experience from my first telephone conversation with you months ago, through Jayme-Leigh, being so responsive to our every question, to all the transfers and memorable experiences we had throughout the trip, was beyond excellent. We learned, we laughed, and we loved every day. ” - Lightman Family, United States
