South Africa 3-Week Tours & Itineraries

Explore 3 trips designed by local kimkim specialists to get ideas for your trip to South Africa.

A three-week tour of South Africa allows travelers to truly do it all—you’ll leave with an intimate understanding of the country and, in the case of a multi-country trip, Mauritius, Botswana, and beyond. Travelers who want to see the top highlights should be certain to hit the top sites: Cape Town and the Cape Peninsula, shark diving and wine tasting on the coast, and urban history in Johannesburg and wildlife viewing in Kruger National Park. Other options include a driving tour to see destinations off the beaten path: hiking in the Drakensberg Mountains, ostriches in Oudtshoorn, and Mandela’s hometown near Coffee Bay.
