You are met this morning by your guide in Franschhoek and set off to explore the Winelands, a delightful drive which winds its way through superb mountain ranges, vineyards, and Cape Dutch homesteads. Your first stop is at the town of Paarl, at the foot of a cluster of remarkable granite domes where you enjoy your first wine tasting. Venture onwards to Stellenbosch, the second oldest town in South Africa, with canal-lined avenues and magnificent examples of Cape Dutch architecture where you can do wine tasting, coupled with a chocolate and dessert tasting. Continue onward over the scenic Helshoogte Pass and back to Franschhoek, founded by French Huguenots over 350 years ago, and widely regarded as the culinary capital of South Africa.

The trip might have been the absolute best of our lifetime (thus far). We particularly want to commend our guide Peter in the Guilin area-he was so incredibly attentive, energetic, enthusiastic-and absolutely dedicated to ensuring that our meals were 100% vegetarian.
We had a fabulous time. Especially seeing the animals and the great driver/guides that we had at Tamarak and Rhino Walking Safari Lodges. We were very pampered the whole time.
The staff were extremely friendly and seemed genuinely to enjoy their jobs. This seemed to mean me that they are treated fairly by the employers.
We can not say enough about our trip. Don't count on losing weight, they feed you constantly!

Easiest trip to plan ever. We received quick answers and Mary was very knowledgeable about different areas of the world that we had questions about.
We have book 2 trips, FABULOUS trip to Antartica which we have already taken and just booked for a future trip to Africa.

Kassi was really helpful in finding a safari in South Africa that met our various needs. She found things, despite my own hours of research, that I couldn’t find. She was incredibly responsive.
