7-Day Best Value · Kruger & Cape Town
Big Five & Cape Town Escape
Lions and elephants by day in Kruger, Table Mountain and the Cape coastline to close the week — South Africa's two icons in one affordable trip.
South Africa's Two Icons, One Affordable Week
Kruger's Wildlife, Then Cape Town's Coastline
Seven days, two completely different South Africas. Two full days of game drives in Kruger National Park come first — sunrise and afternoon safaris in search of lion, rhino, buffalo, elephant and leopard — before a short flight south swaps the bush for Table Mountain, the Cape Peninsula and a cruise out to Seal Island. At Exotic Destinations KE, this is our most affordable safari-and-city combination, built for travellers who want the Big Five and Cape Town without the extra days of our longer South Africa itineraries.
Package Highlights
Best Value Safari & City Combo: Two full days of Kruger game drives plus a complete Cape Town and Peninsula tour — South Africa's two headline experiences in a single affordable week.
