Welcome to South Africa! As soon as you arrive in Cape Town, your travel advisor comes to visit you for a breakfast in order to polish the final details of your adventure. From your ideally located Guest House, rest before setting out to explore the city. Alternate between road trips to the Cape of Good Hope, beaches and hikes to the top of Table Mountain. Cape Town, often called the most beautiful city in the world, is ideally located between the ocean and mountain peaks.
You take the road this morning towards the mountains and the lunar landscapes of the Cederberg for your second stage. A large choice of hikes and treks awaits you for all levels as well as cave painting sites. For the more gourmet, you can also taste local Roiboos, the famous red “tea” that grows exclusively in South Africa. The Cederbeg is the promise of a breath of air and Nature to recharge your batteries and recharge your batteries.
The 3rd stage of your adventure takes place in Namaqualand. Stretching over 1,000 kilometers along the west coast of South Africa, Namaqualand is known for its flora. Once a year, in early spring, the landscape explodes into a kaleidoscope of color. The dusty plains are transformed into a blanket of thousands of wildflowers. In addition to the photogenic landscapes, travelers can admire a wide variety of wildlife and explore the picturesque seaside towns that dot the coast.
Today you reach the Orange River which marks part of the border with Namibia. This river, the longest in South Africa at 2,200 km, has its source in the Drakensberg mountains in Lesotho. The 60-meter-high Augrabies Falls are of course the main attraction, but they have also allowed an entire eco-system to develop around it. Keep your eyes open during your walks to observe the quiver trees but also oryxs, springboks, elands, hyenas, meerkats etc ...
The last stop of your adventure and the highlight of the show, the Kgalagadi National Park. It is located south of the Kalahari Desert and marks the border between South Africa and Botswana. You will be accommodated in the heart of the park and will leave in the morning and evening on a safari on foot or by vehicle. The lodge is relatively isolated and allows a total disconnection in the heart of the silent and deserted Kalahari. Here little or no network; just miles of Nature as far as the eye can see. After 4 nights you will then take the road to Upington for your return flight.
