Day 1

Pick-up at Airport and Visit to the Biggest Township, Soweto

Pick-up at Airport and Visit to the Biggest Township, Soweto

Upon arrival, we connect guests to free Wi-Fi so they can be at one with loved ones. We will be making our way to the South African national icon Nelson Mandela's humble place on Vilakazi Street in Soweto, Orlando. There, our guests will have a firsthand look at his humble beginnings with his iconic wife, Winnie Mandela. The trip will be more appreciated by those with greater insight into the country's political landscape, and will offer lessons learnt for those hearing about it for the first time.

The visit is prized as the only street in the world to host 2 Nobel Prize winners. We will then head to our comfortable accommodation to freshen up and transport clients to nearby restaurants to satisfy their hunger. Immediately after, we go back for a good night's sleep in preparation for the following day's excursion. Importantly, we are not strict about scheduling. As a group on tour, we are flexible to requests from guests that make the trip exciting.

Day 2

Meeting With the Creator

Meeting With the Creator

We pick guests up and head out for breakfast. Thereafter, we go to Maropeng, the Cradle of Humankind, to allow guests to reconnect with their roots and trace their ancestral lineage, as it is touted as home to the oldest known human remains. The visit to the venue is both entertaining and highly educational. All visitors to the venue leave with a deep degree of satisfaction. Although all age groups are welcome, it is advised that the cave tour age limit is 6 years. The visit to the venue is a full-day exploration with a cave tour led by local guides. At the end of the tour, we head back to our comfortable accommodation and enjoy the Melrose Arch precinct to wind up the evening. Evenings at the venue never disappoint in terms of hospitality and it being a social place of note.

Day 3

Sudwala Caves

Sudwala Caves

A thrilling morning awaits as we start with a first-hand experience of the oldest known cave systems on Earth. A local cave guide will take guests through the history of the cave system. For thrill seekers who want an extensive tour of the caves, prior arrangements and bookings are required. Proper hard-wearing clothing, such as jeans and long-sleeved tops, is advisable in that instance. We have a zipline and Jurassic dinosaur sculpture on the premises to the delight of all, especially the little ones. Depending on the time of day, our drive will take us via the breathtaking Panorama Route towards the town of Sabie. In our comfortable summery attire, we hit the waterfalls, notably Sabie, Lisbon, Bridal and Horseshoe Falls. My favourite has always been Sabie, with the freedom to soak in the falls.

Day 4

Panorama Wonders

Panorama Wonders

We will spend the night at a place of natural splendor - from the city lights of Johannesburg to the clear nights under the glitter of the night sky. In the morning, we go to a local restaurant in the tourist town of Hazyview for a heartwarming breakfast. That is followed by a day's trip, dotting about the natural wonders of the Panorama Route. The splendour of the excursion lies in the natural wonders the landscape has to offer. These include the renowned God's Window, Mac-Mac Falls, and Bourke's Luck Potholes. The formations span back millions of years and depict the artistry of the Creator. The Blyde River Canyon, with bragging rights as the third-largest canyon in the world and the largest green canyon, is also part of the spectacle on the route. It's a must-see. Before we know it, time will not be on our side. We head back to the Kruger National Park in time for the sunset game drive, which typically starts at dusk.
