South Africa is a country made for exploring – and a multi centre holiday is the ideal way to experience it all in one unforgettable trip. From the cosmopolitan charm of Cape Town to the wild beauty of Kruger National Park, you’ll find world-class cities, Big Five safaris, scenic drives and golden beaches all waiting to be discovered. Start with a few days in Cape Town, with its iconic Table Mountain and vibrant food and wine scene. Add a safari in one of South Africa’s famous reserves, or take the wheel and drive the Garden Route – a stretch of coastline often called the most beautiful drive in the world. End your trip in a peaceful beach town or wine country for some well-earned rest and relaxation. Whether you pick from our suggested itineraries below or work with us to build something bespoke, our South Africa multi centre holidays are the perfect way to take in everything this beautiful country has to offer.
South Africa is full of life, colour and diversity, so staying in one place means missing out on much of what makes it special. A multi-centre holiday is the best way to experience the highlights, blending vibrant cities and dramatic landscapes with unique wildlife encounters and thrilling adventures. Spend time exploring its cities to uncover rich history and culture, then head out on safari to spot the Big Five — a must for any trip to South Africa. Add in stunning beaches, a drive along the famous Garden Route, and world-class food and wine, and it’s easy to see why so many visitors fall in love with this extraordinary country.
South Africa is bursting with variety. Explore Cape Town with its iconic Table Mountain and lively waterfront, then visit Robben Island to uncover the country’s history. Drive the spectacular Garden Route with its dramatic coastline and charming towns, sample world-class wines in the Winelands, or relax on the Cape’s stunning beaches. Head to Boulders Beach to see its famous penguin colony, go whale watching in Hermanus, or walk with cheetahs for unique wildlife encounters. A safari in Kruger National Park to spot the Big Five is also a must, while thrill seekers can try shark cage diving, bungee jumping or zip lining. Add in Durban’s vibrant culture and even a detour into neighbouring Swaziland, and you’ll soon see just how much South Africa has to offer.
South Africa is a year-round destination, but the best time to visit depends on what you want to do. For safaris, the dry winter months (May to September) offer the best wildlife viewing. Cape Town and the Garden Route are the warmest and sunniest between November and March. Our team can help plan your South Africa multi centre trip around your interests and priorities.
Kruger National Park is the country’s most famous safari destination, offering the best chance to see the Big Five and a true wilderness experience. For a more exclusive, malaria-free option, private reserves near Johannesburg or along the Garden Route fit seamlessly into an itinerary. KwaZulu-Natal is another unique choice, with parks offering a rich variety of wildlife.

First class service with Dave Felton. He booked our Silverseas cruise within the day. Nothing was too much trouble. He is always our go to travel agent. Thank you
Just booked the ABC islands with Rachel. Very straightforward and helpful.
best ever booking experience, came straight back with prices and details. If the holiday is as good we'll be back,
We have been booking our holidays through Nick at Eshores for quite a few years now and our trips have always been very well organised, Nicks attention to detail is spot on, he knows what types of locations we love, and we trust his opinions and suggestions. That’s the reason we’ve just booked two more…
Many thanks again to Kadie for sorting our holiday. This is the second time and very happy to return for help again after the totally amazing trip she arranged to Vietnam. One small blip on accommodation at one resort last time but eShores staff responded quickly and everything was easily sorted. Highly recommend eShores to…
This is the second time using e-Shores and we can't recommend them highly enough. Emily, who we've worked with on both occasions, is extremely professional, knowledgeable, diligent and has made great suggestions. The process of getting quotes, booking and making payments has been painless and I'd say we will be regular cuatomers going forward.
Amazing service
We travelled with eShores to Andalucia last year, and Emily did an amazing job of compiling an itinerary with good but affordable hotels - we would heartily recommend each one that she chose for us, and all the arrangements between cities worked beautifully. This year we have gone back to her for another holiday and…
This is my second holiday with eshore. The service I received was excellent. Kelly was very professional, understood all my requirements and booked a fantastic holiday for us. It was a very pleasant experience dealing with Kelly and definitely recommend friends to book holidays with her. A real 5 star service.
As always, our go-to girl came through with a fab itinerary for our very last minute booking to USA. Kadie arranged another 3 city break and made sure everything fitted in with our requirements. Always use eShores for our bespoke long distance travels and they never fail to provide excellent service.
eShores is a fantastic company for crafting tailor made itineraries. I have just booked my fourth trip with them, this time to Colombia. Gavin was exceptionally helpful and nothing was too much trouble in meeting my wishes even though it requred a lot of back and forth adjustments. If this is anything like my previous…
Matt Got us everything we wanted for our USA trip
I have yet to take the holiday so I can't comment on the hotels and transport provided etc but Nick was very helpful with the booking. Despite me asking numerous questions he sorted out exactly what I asked for within my budget. Thank you
So far our experience with eShores has been great. Of course the real test will be when we are on holiday so hopefully this will continue :)
Nick did exactly what I asked for, was prompt and helpful. Couldn't have asked for anything more.
We had been recommended eshores by a friend who had holidayed in Croatia. We phoned and then used email to communicate with Chris Eaves who made the whole process very easy. He adjusted the holiday to exactly how we wanted it and was very speedy in his replies. We are hoping the holiday goes as…
The trip has been planned with our requirements fulfilled and also given options to change where we wanted. Looking forward to the trip and hope that all goes as smoothly as the booking side
So this is my second time using eshores and I won’t be going anywhere else to book my future holidays. I gave Claire a horrible job in finding what I needed and kept changing the brief but she persevered and found me the best holiday. I’m going in September and can’t wait. I’ll be back…
Excellent prompt service from Michelle. Hotels she suggested all look amazing and the itinerary for the four areas of Italy looked perfectly planned .
