Itinerary
1 Night – Johannesburg
3 Nights – Kruger
3 Nights – Hermanus
3 Nights – Winelands
4 Nights – Cape Town
✈ UK – Johannesburg (1 Night): You’ll fly from the UK to Johannesburg, where your 1 night will serve as a stopover before reaching Kruger’s game reserve. You can spend it relaxing in your hotel, but it’s well worth venturing out for the city’s “Big Apple” feel, buzzing or hipster neighbourhoods, graffiti street art and fantastic restaurants.
✈ Johannesburg – Kruger (3 Nights): Depending on which lodge you choose, you’ll reach Kruger by plane or road transfer. The grasslands of this vast game reserve are home to the Big Five (elephants, black and white rhinoceros, leopards and lions), 519 bird species, panoramic horizons, plus all the fresh air in the world. Watch zebra and wildebeest grazing in the wild, get up close to baby elephants and really immerse yourself in the safari atmosphere. Accommodation-wise, there’s everything from luxury lodges to budget-friendly camps.
✈ Kruger – Hermanus (3 Nights): After you time on Safari, we’ll return you back to Jo-berg and then fly you on to Cape Town. We can then transfer you to your hotel in the sleepy seaside town of Hermanus, or alternatively we can arrange a hire car if you’d prefer the extra flexibility.
With Voeklip Beach, Klipgat Cave and prime whale-spotting views along Cliff Path Walk, Hermanus also has terraced wineries, farmers markets, a big cat sanctuary, plus lovely galleries, restaurants and small shops. You’ll have 2 nights here.
🚗 Hermanus – Winelands (3 Nights): With sweeping horizons and viewpoints along the way, we will next take you deep into the Winelands for 3 nights of relaxation in beautiful surroundings. This historic part of South Africa is home to rolling green vineyards, picturesque meadows and beautiful Dutch colonial buildings.
You’re here to sample the region, though. With everything from boutique wineries to ancient or modern estates, the Winelands harvest grapes for fabulous wines and fresh produce (for fabulous cuisine). Stellenbosch and Franschhoek are the most popular, but you can pick whichever you want for a glass of the finest while catching those final sunset rays.
🚗 Winelands – Cape Town (4 Nights): Rounding off with Cape Town’s vibrant pulse and beach-wrapped setting, we’ll now drive you to the pulsating Cape’s main city for your final 4 nights. Urban, modern and historic all at once, Cape Town’s Bowl sits in the shadow of Table Mountain’s stunning views and ocean horizons.
Whether you’re getting acquainted with the penguins on Cape Peninsula, hopping on a ferry to Robben Island or just browsing the V&A Waterfront’s galleries, museums, cafes and restaurants, you’ll be in a city that’s got endless sunshine, outdoor markets, sandy beaches and the local “braii” open grill cuisine. You can stay in the city or right on the beach- it’s up to you.
✈ Cape Town – UK: After your adventure comes to an end, we’ll return you back to Cape Town airport, for your flight back to the UK.

We contacted eShores having visited the website to discuss a tailor made holiday to the Sporades islands. We spoke to one of the Travel Consultants, Kadie Ryan, who was friendly, efficient and knowledgeable. We received a quote shortly following our conversation and with Kadie's help were able to book our holiday with ease the next day. We are very happy with our experience booking this holiday.

Fantastic Holiday. Just returned from a great South African holiday, Cape Town 3 nights, Pilanesberg Safari 3 nights and a week in Zanzibar. Big thanks to Chris again, his knowledge helped organise and plan this vacation. This is the second long haul holiday he has booked for us. Each holiday has been faultless even though we have changed the itinerary to suit . The Safari he recommended on this trip, Ivory Tree in Pilanesberg was 5 STAR and made the holiday, another tick on the bucket list. Eshores customer service is second to none. I recommended this company to my daughter who is presently on a Canadian fly drive with them and is thoroughly enjoying it. Based on previous experience Chris has now helped us book Australia, Hong Kong & Dubai for next February, can’t wait. All their trips are good value for money, would not have any hesitation in recommending them.

Very happy with what we booked, ( we asked for a trip/experience to Egypt), and Rachel put something together and within the budget we asked for. Once we reviewed it, we tweaked it several times for what we wanted in parts and Rachel did the rest. Very personable and pleasant to deal with. I think we will be looking at other experience holidays through E Shore in the future rather than your standard package holiday.

Booked with eshores last year. Holiday was excellent and everything ran smoothly. We had one problem with one of the transfers in which we missed the plane and had to pay for the next flight but that was sorted and refunded when we returned home. Booked with them again for next year. Matt has been extremely helpful (and patient. We are a nightmare). Eshores are very competetive and I would not hesitate in recommending them and I hope to be using them for years to come.
