South Africa Family - Rainbow Nation Summary

Add to Shortlist

Day 1 Johannesburg

It doesn't always have the best reputation, but Johannesburg has fascinating, vibrant places to explore like Soweto, Alexandra, Rosebank Flea Market and its wonderful museums.

Day 2 Dullstroom

Rise early to go in search of birds of prey at a rehabilitation centre, with the chance to see many endangered species up close. Travel on to gaze in awe at the panoramic views offered from the aptly named God’s Window viewpoint along the Blyde River Canyon and continue to a former goldrush town to give gold panning a go.

Days 3-4 Kruger National Park

Created to control diminishing animal numbers due to hunting, Kruger National Park became official in 1926 and is now deservedly one of Africa's premier safari parks.

Days 5-6 Hlane National Park

Once the private hunting ground of the Swazi royal family, Hlane Royal National Park's vast expanse of bushveld offers an amazing opportunity to track elephants and endangered rhinos on foot.

Days 7-9 St Lucia National Park

St Lucia Estuary is home to thousands of varieties of birds, mammals and reptiles - with its most popular residents being the hundreds of hippos and crocodiles.

Days 10-11 Drakensberg

The highest mountain range in Southern Africa, Drakensberg - known locally as the Dragon Mountains - is home to an amazing array of flora and fauna.

Day 12 Johannesburg

Johannesburg is a sprawling city of remarkable contrasts: mansions stand alongside tin shacks and there are as many green parks as there are conglomerations of concrete.
