Enjoy mountain kingdoms, world-class wine, safari lands and dramatic coastlines
This epic journey explores the different facets of three very diverse countries. We go on game drives in Kruger National Park, walk in the spectacular Drakensberg mountains, travel along the Garden Route, enjoy wine tasting in renowned vineyards and visit exciting Cape Town, while also visiting the mountain kingdoms of Eswatini (Swaziland) and Lesotho. This three-week trip has something for everyone: prolific wildlife, incredible scenery, beautiful beaches, awe-inspiring mountains and, of course, the rich culture that makes these countries what they are today.
Although the greater part of South Africa lies north of the Tropic of Capricorn, the altitude moderates the temperature.
Summer is October to April with an average daytime temperature of 25C-30C (77F-86F) and an average nighttime temperature of 10C-20C (50F-68F).
Winter is May to September. Average temperatures are colder at this time of year. In and around Cape Town, most of the rainfall is in winter but it’s frontal rain, which comes off the Atlantic. Therefore, it can rain solidly for two days and, in between, there are warm sunny days!
There is likely to be very little rain inland between April and October. During July and August, the nights can be very cold, especially in the Drakensberg where temperatures can drop below freezing. However, the days are warm and crisp with generally cloud-free skies.
During November to February, rain sometimes falls and the temperature is higher. However, as anyone who has travelled to these parts will say, rain is often a blessing; it manifests the local colours, drops the sometimes-sweltering temperatures and never generally lasts too long. It also means the nights are incredibly clear. Due to the ocean’s proximity to the mountains and the winds, it is fairly common to experience tabletop clouds on the higher mountains in and around Cape Town.
This trip is rated Activity Level 3 (Moderate). For more information on our trip gradings please visit the Activity Level Guidelines page. If you have any queries about the difficulty of the trip please do not hesitate to contact us.
It is designed for people in good health who enjoy the outdoors. It is a varied trip, with sightseeing, city tours, game viewing, beach activities and walking. The moderate grading is given as some of the walks, especially in the Drakensberg, require a reasonable level of fitness.
There are some long driving days as we cover a lot of ground but there is lots to do and see along the way, plus we stop regularly for bathroom breaks, refreshments, photographs and leg stretches. Drive times on a lot of the days are four to five hours but a couple may be in excess of seven hours (not including time for stops). Drive times in the day-to-day itinerary are approximations and do not include stops.
