Their habits and behavior come under the spotlight before enjoying a game drive in the Pilanesberg National Park which is adjacent to Sun City. This 55 000 Ha nature reserve is home to the big five as well as a large diversity of plains game species and a first sighting of the gracious mammals of Africa in their natural surroundings is sure to be a memorable experience.

The day is devoted to gentle country pursuits on the magnificent 1500 hectare estate. The estate offers beautiful forest and river walks as well as walking trails into the nature reserve where indigenous game abides in a mountain wilderness renowned for its bird life and prolific flowers. The estate is a heaven for the fly fisherman and if you are so inclined some time can be devoted to the pursuit of the Rainbow and Golden trout in clear mountain streams.

Day 5: Greater Kruger National Park
We leave behind the Walkersons Estate as the tour makes its way to the heavily wooded eastern Escarpment where the scenic Long Tom Pass leads the way to the Town of Sabi. The pass takes its name from the Long Tom Cannon which still stands on a hill, where the Boer forces held one of their last positions during the Anglo Boer War. The tour then travels on to Graskop exploring some of the escarpments many waterfalls en route as a stop is first made at the Berlin Falls with its sheer 80m drop before visiting the Mac Mac Falls. The tour then crosses the escarpment and descends onto the Lowveld and the heart of South Africa's Big Five country where Exeter is reached during the mid afternoon. The late afternoon is devoted to a first open 4X4 safari in the Kruger wilderness. The Greater Kruger National Park is home to the greatest diversity of different mammal species on the African continent and it is one of the worlds largest and most important conservation areas.

Day 6: Greater Kruger National Park
The African dawn is filled with bird song and the sounds of a land awakening to the new day as a first open 4X4 safari is conducted by your experienced ranger and tracker. The possibility of finding predators on a kill made during the night adds to the excitement. The safari returns to camp for a late breakfast after which guests are allowed some time for relaxation or a bush walk before embarking on an afternoon safari which is extended into the evening.

Day 8: Cape Town
A last morning safari is followed by breakfast after which guests are transferred to Kruger Mpumalanga Airport for a flight to Cape Town. Guests are met upon arrival at Cape Town International Airport from where the tour makes its way to Cape Town's Atlantic Seaboard, a breathtaking strip of land nestled between rigid mountains and the deep blue waters of the Atlantic. The late afternoon is spent at leisure.

Day 9: Cape Town
Breakfast is followed by a short drive to Table Mountain where we embark on a cable car ride to the top of the mountain. Table Mountain has come to be synonymous with Cape Town and is one of the world most recognizable landmarks. Standing 1086m tall, the summit of the Mountain offers guests unsurpassed views of the city of Cape Town, Robben Island and the peninsula. Unique species of Fynbos are on display and the Table Mountain national park is home to quite a few mammal species. After the descent from Table Mountain some time is devoted exploring South Africa's oldest city as we visit some notable landmarks and historic sights including the Castle and the Rhodes memorial.

Day 11: Cape Town
Chapman's Peak drive, cut from rigid mountains which line the Atlantic leads the tour to the Cape of Good Hope Nature Reserve ending at Cape Point, and reputed to be the place where the stormy waters of the Atlantic meet the calming influence of the Indian Ocean. The reserve is home to several species of Fauna and a great diversity of Flora. Upon returning to Cape Town the tour traces the Indian Ocean and we stop at Boulders, which is home to a large colony of Jackass Penguins, so called for the resemblance of their call to the bray of a donkey. Some time spent admiring these flightless birds, which are an endangered species, is followed by a return trip to Cape Town.
