Itinerary
Day 01 - Cape Town
Touch down in Cape Town, South Africa! Once through customs and immigration, you'll receive a warm welcome from Born Free Safaris' VIP host. As most international flights arrive in the evening, you will be escorted directly to your hotel and assisted with check-in.
Day 02 - Table Bay & City Tour
This morning, your introduction to the Cape region will be from the top of Table Mountain. Ascend via rotating cable car for views of the city, coast, surrounding mountains, and across the water to historic Robben Island. Then discover Cape Town up-close on your orientation of the city. Each city tour is designed to your interests, but top sites include the colorful Cape Malay art district, Greenmarket Square, public buildings, House of Parliament, City Hall, and The Cape Castle.
Day 03 - Cape Peninsula
Meet your guide at the hotel this morning, then travel on a full-day tour of the Cape Peninsula. Travel over Chapman’s Peak, stopping at the Cape of Good Hope Nature Reserve and Cape Point. Visit Boulders or Foxy Beach, the home to African penguins. Head through charming fishing villages, stopping for a seaside lunch. Depending on the timing and season of travel, visit Kirstenbosch Botanical Gardens before making your way back to your hotel.
Day 04 - Cape Region
Spend today on your choice of "À la carte" touring. You'll select from a range of excursions that are already included in the price of the trip. Discuss your interests with a Born Free Safaris Specialist, who will then create your personalized private tour.
Day 05 - On Safari
Greater Kruger
Your safari begins today! Fly from Cape Town to the Greater Kruger regional airport. Lunch awaits in the open dining lounge. Then head out on your first game drive, returning to the lodge at sundown. Here the wildlife runs freely between the reserves and the main park areas. Game drives are in open vehicles that are limited in numbers and viewing time. The region is one of the finest in all of Africa.
Day 06
Greater Kruger
The private game reserves are renowned for their high-density "Big Five" sightings, particularly leopards. You will be able to approach the game at close range, and vehicles are strictly limited at sightings. Set out for your first early morning game drive. This is when the wildlife is most active, and predators are on the hunt. After a few hours in the bush, return to camp for a hearty breakfast.
Day 07
Greater Kruger
Traveling on the outskirts of the reserves, head to your second area for safari. A contrasting experience to the first two days on safari. Each day is very different, observing the wildlife as they hunt for food, take care of their pride, or just relax in the shade of the bush.
Day 08
Greater Kruger
On your last full day on safari in South Africa, embark on game drives to find any species you might have missed. Our guides are all anxious to please and will do their best to search out sightings. In the early evening, Sundowners (cocktails) will be served in the bush. If you're up for it, set out on one last night drive - you may be able to spot the elusive leopard.
Day 09 - Your Journey Onwards
As dawn breaks, head out on an early morning game drive. Then your journey to Africa draws to a close. Bid a fond farewell to the South Africa bush with promises of returning to this majestic continent. Board your flight to Johannesburg and homeward, taking with you the lifetime memories of a magical African experience.
