Itinerary
3 Nights – Cape Town
1 Night – Johannesburg
3 Nights – Kruger
7 Nights – Zanzibar
✈ UK – Cape Town (3 Nights): You’ll fly from the UK to Cape Town, where you’ll have 3 nights to explore. Vibrant, artsy and with a coastal setting, Cape Town is the cosmopolitan city that’s brimming with artisan coffee spots, galleries, colourful neighbourhoods and a beautiful Bowl setting in the shadow of Table Mountain.
Whether you want a Lion’s Head sunset, cable car views, palm-studded beaches or a chance to mingle with Cape Peninsula’s penguins, you’ll be in a city with endless options. Snap pastel facades in the bohemian Bo-Kaap, eat your way through Neighbourgood or Oranjezicht City Farm Market, or take in some greenery at Kirstenbosch Garden. The V&A waterfront has tons of restaurants, boutiques and great nightlife, plus it’s the departure point for ferries to Robben Island.
✈ Cape Town – Johannesburg (1 Night): You’ll next fly from Cape Town to Johannesburg, where you’ll have one night to relax before the wild game reserves of Kruger. With a different feel from Cape Town, Johannesburg is South Africa’s “Big Apple”. Fully revamped, this city is now a major commercial hub complete with a modern feel, hipster neighbourhoods, roof bars and a funky backdrop of urban murals and coffee shops. You can visit the Apartheid Museum and Soweto, the World Heritage Site Cradle of Mankind, or just meander the street art and dining scenes. There’s even a casino complex here, plus shows and thrill rides at Gold Reef City.
✈Johannesburg- Kruger (3 Nights): Depending on which Kruger lodge you choose, you’ll reach this game reserve by plane or transfer. With over 7,000 square miles, this vast expanse of natural habitat is one of the oldest and largest in the world. It’s home to the Big Five (elephants, black and white rhinoceros, leopards and lions), a staggering 519 bird species, plus a fantastic selection of camps and lodges- from luxury to budget-friendly.
This is your chance to get up close and personal to lions and their cubs, elephants and their babies, plus grazing wildebeest and zebra. We can organise special tours or excursions- it’s up to you! You’ll be here for 7 nights, so you’ll have the chance to fully immerse yourself in the setting.
✈Kruger – Zanzibar (7 Nights): We’ll next return you to Jo-berg for a flight to Zanzibar, which is like nowhere else on earth. Off the coast of Tanzania, this African island stands out for its beach beauty, turquoise waters and unique Arabian history. Islamic architecture here forms beautiful streets, like the Stone Town capital, northern Nungwi and lively south-eastern Paje village.
It’s the powder-fine white sands and palm-fringed beaches that give Zanzibar its idyllic feel, though. With clear-blue waters, thatched stilts and a fantastic range of romantic, boutique or beachfront hotels, Zanzibar comes with one word- relaxation. At the same time, you’ve got spice and vanilla plantations, Stone Town’s Moorish and Indian inner city, plus markets, shopping and dining along the town’s waterfront. Spot giant turtles on Changuu island, walk canopied bridges at Jozani Chwaka Bay National Park, snorkel on Mnemba Island or just bask on sun-drenched sands (parasol optional).
✈Zanzibar – UK: You’ll return to the UK from Zanzibar, where we’ll be with you from hotel checkout to flight to make sure it goes smoothly.

I had never heard of eshores till I decided to plan a multi-stop holiday in Turkey some weeks ago. The decision to use eshores was based on a quick internet search for any help I could get with this. So, i wasnt really expecting much. As the planning was at relatively short notice...and we had never travelled to Turkey, I was pleasantly surprised at the support I had from Rachel at eshores who listened to what I wanted and was patient to go back and forth with me till I had the exact holiday I wanted (Istanbul, Ankara and Antalya). I always had a response with every query(and I had quite a few!!). The travel itself worked like a dream...both international and domestic flights were straightforward, but even more surprising was how reliable the multiple taxis to and fro airports were, even when picking up at 0330!! Overall, the experience has been very positive and I would be very happy to use the service again

Nick arranged a 2 week trip to Argentina & Brazil for us in March. We were happy with the itinerary he put together and his choice of hotels. We had a good level of contact from taxi companies for collections at airports & hotels. On our return he checked everything had gone smoothly which was a nice touch. I mentioned that I was looking for a beach holiday in a couple of months and he put together some hotels at a good price so I’ve booked again with him. I would definitely use Nick, EShores, again and recommend them to friends.

The first involved 5 stops throughout Malaysia and Singapore and on a recent second holiday we returned to Borneo as we love the island so much. Everything went to plan and I have no hesitation in recommending this company. We will definitely use again.
