10-Day City, Coast & Safari · Cape Town to Johannesburg
South Africa Highlights Tour
Table Mountain, the full Garden Route, two private game reserves and Johannesburg's gold-mining heritage — South Africa's full range in ten days.
City, Coastline, Wildlife & Culture, In One Trip
Cape Town and the Garden Route, Then Two Private Game Reserves
This itinerary opens in Cape Town with Table Mountain and the V&A Waterfront, then heads east along the Garden Route through Knysna's lagoon and Oudtshoorn's caves and ostrich farms. From there it shifts entirely into safari mode — open-vehicle game drives at Addo Elephant National Park and a full day at Kwantu Private Game Reserve — before closing in Johannesburg with a visit to Gold Reef City's underground mine and gold-pouring demonstration. At Exotic Destinations KE, this is our most complete blend of city, coast, wildlife and culture in a single ten-day route.
