The one that's got it all: this trip combines the buzz and incredible foodie scene of Cape Town with the tranquil Winelands and a ‘Big 5’ safari before ending with an off-the-beaten-track splash in the Indian Ocean!
Why we love it
“The perfect trip for travellers seeking a combination of tropical islands and stunning safari vistas. You'll explore the buzzing city of Cape Town before heading on to explore the neighbouring wine region with its great rolling vineyards and food scene to match. Next, head to the Kruger National Park for South Africa’s “Big Five” safari experience before finishing your trip on the immaculate white beaches of the Indian Ocean islands. Covering these four fantastic destinations may seem like a push, but the logistics are easy and with our nemo guides, you really can have the best of Southern Africa in one trip.”

Perfect time to take this trip. Cape Town is coming into Spring, the safari is great and Mozambique's weather calm

It's great weather in Cape Town but rainy season in Mozambique... we recommend switching in Mauritius or Zanzibar for the beach

Shoulder season and a great time to visit for good rates

Cape Town is colder and can be wild, but the safari and beach portions are perfect
Jun-Aug
Design your trip
We recommend flying with BA if you're coming from the UK, it's an overnight flight and direct. Upon arrival, you'll be met by a nemo representative in Cape Town International Airport, assisting you through customs, collecting your luggage and transferring you (approx 30 mins) to your lovely hotel.
Destination
01 Jul - 04 Jul
Cape Town
With so much to see and do in Cape Town, the only debate is how many nights to spend there (we recommend at least 3). Stunning geography, wonderful hotels, great local produce, and an exceptional local food scene make this one of the world's most visited cities. International and domestic flights connect the city very well.

Winelands
Scintillating views meet incredibly fresh produce and create a match made in heaven. Only an hour and half from Cape Town by road, this combination is a classic. We recommend at least half a day with one of our guides to get you to the more off-the-beaten-track wineries and restaurants.

Greater Kruger
In our opinion, the perfect first-time safari destination with an exceptional chance of seeing the 'big 5' during your stay. Safari veterans also return year after year and the region is home to some of the top lodges on the planet. Access is best by domestic flight from either Johannesburg or Cape Town and we recommend 3 nights.

Mozambique Coast
A unique beach offering and one of our most popular destinations. With extremely easy access to Southern Africa, it combines perfectly with the Kruger for a one of a kind safari and beach trip. Some of the lodges can only be accessed by helicopter and we could spend weeks here. Culturally, there is a lot going on here and the local cuisine is exceptional.
