It all starts when you land in Cape Town, South Africa's second-largest city and ranked among the most beautiful in the world. Spend 3 days with its larger-than-life mountain overlooking the City Bowl, harbour and Robben Island. Include a sightseeing trip along Chapman’s Peak Drive or spend a relaxing afternoon at the V&A Waterfront.

It’s a tourists' playground with two World Heritage Sites, nature reserves and botanic gardens.  As the meeting point of many cultures, Cape Town is dotted with mosques, kramats, churches, synagogues and temples, while its architecture reveals examples of art deco, Cape Dutch and Malay.

Discover wines at the source in the famous Cape Winelands by taking a day tour on one of six wine routes, you can even linger longer to explore the historically rich adjacent towns of Stellenbosch and Franschhoek.

It's a quick 2-hour flight to Mbombela, the capital of Mpumalanga, a vibrant, sub-tropical city and a pleasant stopover en route to the game reserves and parks further north. It's the gateway to Kruger National Park so we suggest hiring a car and road tripping through Mpumalanga for 3 days. Make time to stop at God’s Window and Bourkes Luck Potholes before entering the Kruger National Park.

Spend 5 days spotting the Big 5, enjoying bush sunsets and dinners under the stars. Imagine rising with the South African sun and riving out of your camp, filled with anticipation as you keep your eyes peeled for an overnight lion kill or a herd of elephants. Then ask yourself, is there anywhere else in the world you’d rather be?
