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.

As always, Chris was extremely helpful and knowledgeable. He gave me good advice on my travel plans and booked the holiday on my behalf. I've used eshores a number of times, and will continue to do so.

We haven’t been on our trip yet but based purely on the experience of booking the trip we are pleased with the result. It started with a bit of a hiccup as we spoke to a member of staff who never came back to us but when we reached back out again we were placed in the hands of Andy who has helped us book a 2 week trip to India including the golden triangle and then a few days on the beach. Andy was very patient with us with our changes to our tailor made holiday, even when we asked him to explore different areas only to revert back to the original plan. He also recommended moving the holiday back one week which created a saving of over £700 which meant we could upgrade the room for our beach stay in Goa. Andy was also available on weekends if we wanted to speak and regularly picked up the phone as opposed to keeping it to purely email dialogue. Hopefully the holiday will be amazing but based on the booking experience I would recommend eShores if you’re looking to book a tailor made holiday

We have booked two big holidays this year for a group of 8 and a group of 10, Rachel has coordinated our holidays with the utmost excellence, during the consultation we changed countires hotels and even flights but it did not phase Rachel one bit. Exceeds customer expectations by helping advising and supporting throughout the holiday. We are off to Thailand and Dubai in August and then followed by India and Thailand in November, I have rang emailed Rachel many times during the booking and I got very prompt responses even on her days off. Rachel is a credit to EShores and EShores is setting standards regarding customer focus.

I can’t praise Lynette at EShores enough. She has organised my trips perfectly to the point that I wouldn’t use anyone else. She listens to what I want or to the problem I have and comes up with a solution. Nothing is too much trouble. Try them out yourselves and I bet you become a repeater too!
