The flagship South Africa tour over nine days, adding a Big Five safari to the classic Johannesburg-and-Cape-Town route. You start in Johannesburg with a Soweto half-day, visit Sun City, then spend two nights on safari at Pilanesberg or the greater Kruger area with two game drives in search of lion, elephant, rhino, leopard and buffalo. The trip then flies to Cape Town for four nights covering Table Mountain, the Cape Peninsula with its Cape of Good Hope and Boulders penguins, and a Stellenbosch winelands tour. Six Indian dinners plus safari meals are included, easing the food question for Indian travellers. This is a well-rounded itinerary mixing wildlife, scenery and city. Game sightings are wild and never guaranteed, and Table Mountain access is weather-dependent. starting at INR 2,80,000 per person. Covers Johannesburg 1N, Sun City 1N, Kruger/Pilanesberg 2N, Cape Town 4N.
