✈️ UK – Johannesburg (1 night): You’ll fly direct from the UK to Johannesburg, where you’ll stay for one night before continuing to Kruger’s incredible game reserves. You can simply relax at your hotel, or venture out to explore the city’s “Big Apple” vibe to discover a mix of hipster neighbourhoods, buzzing restaurants, street art, and live music.
✈️ Johannesburg – Kruger (3 nights): We’ll transfer you back to the airport for a short flight to Mpumalanga, where you’ll be met and transferred to your lodge in Kruger National Park. Alternatively, you could opt for a scenic drive along the famous Panorama Route, stopping at Bourke’s Luck Potholes, Blyde River Canyon, and God’s Window (we recommend adding a night en route if you choose this option). The vast grasslands of Kruger are home to the legendary Big Five (elephants, rhinos, leopards, lions and buffalo), along with 500+ bird species and endless natural beauty. Morning and evening game drives offer unforgettable wildlife encounters, while your lodge provides the perfect place to unwind under the stars.
✈️ Kruger – Port Elizabeth (Optional – 1 night): Next, you’ll fly via Johannesburg to Port Elizabeth, where you’ll collect your hire car and begin one of the world’s greatest coastal drives along the Garden Route. Before you hit the road, you may wish to spend a night here in this laid-back seaside town. With its Blue Flag beaches, lively waterfront, and charming craft markets, Port Elizabeth makes a perfect stopover. You can also visit St Croix Island’s penguin colony or enjoy a sunset at Sardinia Bay.
🚗 Port Elizabeth – Knysna (3 nights): Your drive west takes you through rolling national parks, beach towns, and indigenous forests to the tranquil lagoon town of Knysna. Spend three nights soaking up the region’s beauty, exploring forest trails, browsing boutiques, and relaxing on Brenton-on-Sea and Buffalo Bay beaches. The scenery here is breath-taking, with sparkling Indian Ocean views and the Outeniqua Mountains as a backdrop. Be sure to try Knysna’s famous oysters at the waterfront.
🚗 Knysna – Hermanus (2 nights): Continue along the Western Cape to the charming seaside town of Hermanus, known as the whale-watching capital of the world. Between July and November, you can often spot whales right from the shore along the Cliff Path Walk. You’ll also find boutique wineries, farmers markets, a big-cat sanctuary, and plenty of welcoming restaurants and cafés to enjoy during your two-night stay.
🚗 Hermanus – Winelands (3 nights): Your next stop is the picturesque Winelands, where you’ll spend three nights surrounded by rolling vineyards and mountain scenery. This is South Africa’s wine heartland, home to charming towns such as Stellenbosch and Franschhoek. Sample award-winning wines, dine at world-class restaurants, and soak up the relaxed rural atmosphere. A trip on the Franschhoek Wine Tram is a great way to explore without driving.
🚗 Winelands – Cape Town (4 nights): Your final leg takes you to Cape Town for four unforgettable nights. With Table Mountain as its backdrop, Cape Town offers a unique blend of culture, adventure, beaches and dining. Explore the V&A Waterfront’s shops and restaurants, visit Robben Island, or enjoy panoramic views from the Table Mountain cable car. For nature lovers, Cape Point and the penguins at Boulders Beach are must-sees, while Camps Bay offers one of the best spots for sunset cocktails. Whether you’re browsing designer boutiques, hiking mountain trails or simply dining al fresco on world-class cuisine, Cape Town is the perfect finale to your South African journey.
✈️ Cape Town – UK: When your stay in Cape Town comes to an end, drive back to the airport, drop off your car, and board your flight home, bringing your South African adventure to a close.

Emma has found us the perfect Italian Lakes holiday for 2027 - Brilliant - Thank you
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 .
