Your 11 day journey begins at the "Fairest Cape in the World." Colonial monuments co-exist with delightful modernity in the glorious city of Cape Town.

Relax and enjoy guided sightseeing: a tour of the delightful city, a glimpse into the colorful Malay Quarter and an excursion along the full length of the Cape Peninsula.
Next up: wing to one of South Africa’s greatest wildlife refuges: Moditlo Private Game Reserve. Perfect for nature lovers and photographers, this wildlife program features superb game viewing on a private reserve for 5 days and 4 nights.
Moditlo boasts all the ‘Big Five’ – lion, leopard, elephant, rhino and buffalo. Other characteristic species are cheetah, giraffe, zebra and kudu. Guests can join the two scheduled game drives each day for a chance to view these wild animals in their natural habitat.
Game drives in open landrovers are conducted twice daily. An experienced tracker accompanies each game vehicle to enhance the guest experience and interaction with the wildlife. The lodge also offers guests the option of joining midday walking safaris and thrilling night game drives.
Tempted to see a bit more? Think about adding Victoria Falls, Botswana or even an exciting extension to neighboring Kenya.
