15 DAYS | VENDA + KRUGER + CAPE TOWN

ABOUT YOUR TRIP

Subheading / Highlights

This diverse two week journey through South Africa introduces you to the world of tribal culture of Southern Africa. Here you will connect with the soulful Venda people and learn how they engage with nature and art through their beliefs and way of life.

There’s no better place to introspect than in a remote wilderness. So naturally an immersive wildlife adventure is in order. Traverse the untamed Kruger National Park in areas with a low vehicle footprint to keep things intimate. Witness Africa’s iconic Big 5 at close range and learn about conservation.

The finale to your travels through Mzansi is the vibey Cape Town. While in the Mothercity you will be exploring the region through the spectrum of art, food (& wine) and culture + a hearty amount of scenic drives that talk to the stunning natural geology and biodiversity of the city.
