South Africa vacation idea
South Africa: Cape Town, Kruger & Johannesburg
A 10-day South Africa tour combining Cape Town, the Cape Peninsula, Kruger safari experiences, Pretoria and Johannesburg.
Why This Trip Stands Out
This itinerary combines South Africa’s city, coast and safari experiences in one approachable trip. It gives first-time visitors Cape Town, the Cape Peninsula, Kruger wildlife and Johannesburg history without requiring a luxury-safari budget.
- Cape Town and Table Mountain.
- Robben Island when weather and sea conditions allow.
- Cape of Good Hope and Boulders Beach penguins.
- Open-vehicle game drives in Kruger National Park.
- Soweto, Mandela House and the Apartheid Museum.
Sample Itinerary

Settle into Cape Town, tour the city and Table Mountain, visit Robben Island when conditions permit, and explore the Cape Peninsula and Boulders Beach.
Days 5–6 | Kruger National Park
Fly to the Kruger region for safari time, including afternoon and morning game drives in open vehicles.
Days 7–9 | Pretoria & Johannesburg
Continue toward Johannesburg with sightseeing in Pretoria and Soweto, including important sites connected to South Africa’s modern history.

A Good Match?
Who This Trip Is Best For
Travelers who want a first South Africa trip that combines Cape Town, history and Kruger wildlife at a more approachable price than a private luxury safari.
Before You Choose It
A Few Things to Know
Expect several early mornings, 3–4 hours of walking on some sightseeing days and one driving day over five hours. Safari vehicles are open, unairconditioned and require agility to board. Robben Island is weather-dependent and may be replaced if the ferry cannot operate.
