Activities
What you actually need for each activity
A game drive in Kruger needs different data than a beach day in Cape Town. We break down what matters for each activity.
Game Drive in Kruger National Park
The classic safari game drive — in your own car, an open safari vehicle, or on foot with a ranger.
Penguins at Boulders Beach
The African penguin colony near Simon's Town is one of the few places in the world where you can watch penguins from a boardwalk just metres away.
Sani Pass in the Drakensberg
The steep 4x4 pass road from KwaZulu-Natal up into Lesotho — spectacular scenery, and the one place on this itinerary where you cross an international border.
Table Mountain Hike in Cape Town
On foot up Cape Town's landmark — several routes, from easy paths to demanding scrambles.
Whale Watching on the Garden Route
South Africa's southern coast is one of the best places in the world to watch whales from land.
