Planning to spend 17 days in South Africa? Consider a tour that combines coastal and inland adventures—with this much time, you can see it all while diving deeper into the things that interest you. Lovers of road trips should rent a car for a self-guided tour of the country’s Garden Route and national parks in the north. If culture and relaxation are more your style, try wine tasting in the Winelands before heading to Johannesburg for urban culture and history. From here, you can transfer to a number of leisurely wildlife experiences: houseboats in Chobe, all-inclusive safaris in Kruger, and white-sand beaches in Mauritius.
Cape Town's Table Mountain is home to more than 1,500 plant species, and that's barely scratching the surface of South Africa's span. Cover even more of this extensive country on this itinerary as you go from atop Table Mountain up the Atlantic seaboard, then inland along the Garden Route, up into the Drakensberg Mountains, and out on safari.
Travel through the varied landscapes of South Africa and Mauritius on this 17-day itinerary. Start by taking in the views across Cape Town from up on Table Mountain, out in the valleys of wine country, and through the bustling streets. Continue to Johannesburg for a glimpse back into South African history both recent and long-ago. Then on to Kruger National Park for a look at the wildlife before you wrap it up with a beach break on tropical Mauritius.
