A self-drive escape from Cape Town through to the rolling vineyards of Franschhoek, with a safari stay at a nature reserve - with all travel and more

South Africa packs a punch with wildlife, beaches, bustling cities and lush winelands - you’ll get the chance to discover its varied landscape on this nine-night adventure. Landing in cosmopolitan Cape Town, you'll spend three nights exploring this sprawling city at your own pace. Then, you'll speed off in your rented car to a wildlife game reserve just two hours from the Cape and enjoy a handful of days in safari bliss, spotting the Big Five. Rounding things off nicely: a stint in Franschhoek, where an abundance of wineries are waiting for you. Included is a hop-on hop-off ticket on the Franschhoek Wine Tram, which makes reaching all of South Africa's renowned wine estates that much easier - we'll drink to that.

Not only are a clutch of game drives included in this escape, but car hire makes it easy to explore all of South Africa's awe-inspiring offerings. To make your getaway even more special we've curated some attractive optional extras that make exploring a breeze, from a helicopter flight over Cape Town to a Cape Point and peninsula tour to see the more rugged side of South Africa's nature.
