A perfect long-weekend snapshot of South Africa. South Africa is a country of breathtaking contrasts — sun-soaked Cape Town beneath the flat top of Table Mountain, the wine-draped valleys of Stellenbosch and Franschhoek, the Big Five roaming the vast savannah of Kruger National Park, and a hard-won, still-unfolding history you can trace from Robben Island to the streets of Soweto. This itinerary takes you through the highlights — from iconic landmarks to local experiences.
