South Africa's top-selling family circuit, sweeping from cosmopolitan Cape Town to the Sun City resort and on to safari country near Kruger. In Cape Town you ride the cable car up Table Mountain, visit Cape Point and the Boulders Beach penguins, take the ferry to Robben Island and tour the Stellenbosch winelands. Sun City brings the Valley of the Waves water park, and the safari leg delivers open-4x4 game drives at Pilanesberg or Kruger for the Big Five. An internal flight links Cape Town and Johannesburg, and four Indian dinners are included. Honest note: it is a busy itinerary covering long distances, and game sightings are never guaranteed; Robben Island and Table Mountain are weather-dependent. Nine nights in 4-star hotels and safari lodges make this a well-rounded introduction to the country. starting at INR 2,40,000 per person. Covers Cape Town 3N, Johannesburg 1N, Sun City 1N, Kruger area 3N, Johannesburg 1N.
