Bianca planned a 10 day itinerary for me. We started in Johannesburg and visited the Apartheid Museum and Soweto. Our guide in Joburg was Tefo and he was excellent. We had lunch in Soweto and got to experience the vibrant cultures of Johannesburg. Tefo was knowledgeable, warm and kind. We then flew to Hoedspruit for a 3 day safari at the Kusudelwani Safari Lodge. This part of the itinerary really exceeded our expectations. Kusudelwani is the perfect combination of safari and relaxing vacation. The staff and the accommodations delighted us and the safari experience was a bonus as we saw 4 of the Big 5. I highly recommend the Panorama Tour while you are there. We finished our itinerary in Cape Town where our guide Mansur showed us all Cape Town had to offer over a 4 day period. Mansur was knowledgeable about the Cape and its history. Our favorites while in Cape Town include The Wine Tours, Table Top Mountain, and our visit to see the African Penguins. We couldn't have planned this trip on our own. We are happy with the trip and felt like we got more than our money's worth.
