Inspirational safari vacation to South Africa
The perfect combination, an indulgent city break in the magical city of Cape Town and a thrilling Big 5 safari in Phinda Private Game Reserve.

Situated within the V&A Waterfront you are perfectly placed to explore all that the Mother City has to offer. Spend your time exploring this incredible city from Table Mountain and Cape Point, to catching the penguins at Boulder's Beach and tours to Robben Island.
Then escape to Phinda Private Game Reserve where you will stay in 2 different areas of the reserve. Spending 3 nights in each, you will get to fully experience all that this remarkable reserve has to offer. Here you will enjoy exciting game drives in open 4x4 safari vehicles, led by professionally trained rangers as well as safari walks, and conservation and community experiences.
