South Africa is rightly renowned for its incredible wildlife and the Kruger National Park in the northeast of the country has a deserved reputation as one of the finest game-viewing hotspots on the African continent. This itinerary takes in two of the Kruger's premier private game reserves – Timbavati Private Nature Reserve, or its Thornybush Game Reserve neighbour depending on your choice of lodge, and Sabi Sands Game Reserve. Here, you'll have the opportunity to see Africa's Big Five along with a host of other mammals, birds and reptiles in a stunning wilderness environment.  When you're not out and about looking for wildlife there'll be plenty of opportunity to relax in some of Africa's best safari accommodation. To make your holiday that bit more special, we've also included a three-night stay in Cape Town, where a programme of included touring will see you pair the natural beauty of Table Mountain and Cape Point with a full day in the esteemed Cape Winelands.
