Cape Town is not only one of the most beautiful cities in the world, but it’s also a melting pot of South Africa’s many cultures and home to an incredible culinary scene, along with its neighbouring Cape Winelands. We pair this with two malaria-free safari experiences: Madikwe Game Reserve, home to the famous wild dogs and where seasonal wetlands meet mist-tipped mountains, or head to the rugged, remote Waterberg region of Limpopo. for tranquil bush walks and boat trips These reserves are perfect if you’re sensitive to medication or travelling with a family (and are a lesser-known way to beat the safari crowds).

Trip Highlights
Incredible landscapes in the Waterberg
Malaria-free 'Big 5' safari
The incredible produce of the Winelands
Vibrant and colourful Cape Town
When To Go
All Year
Ideal Length
10 days+, removing the Waterberg is the best way to keep this trip at 9 nights
