Cape Peninsula to Kruger National Park Safari Tour
This 11-day Kruger Safari Tour is a moderately-paced safari available as a set-departure (or available request) where you can expect to see 45+ species of mammals and 150+ species of birds (though the emphasis is on the mammals and other wildlife). This safari tour to Kruger National Park starts at the Cape Peninsula, then through Hermanus and includes 3 days at the end of the tour in the Sabi Sand Game Reserve.
The Cape and the Kruger are two regions that feature prominently on almost every traveller’s South African itinerary, and for good reason. Radically different, and located at opposite corners of the country, a visit to these two regions will brilliantly showcase the diversity that the country is well known for, both easily combined on a South Africa Safari!
"This was a Lawson's set departure and it was my first time to visit Africa. The standard of accommodation, food and service provided by Lawson's was out of my expectation. And most important of all, this tour gave me an unforgettable wildlife experience; in particular we had good time at Sabi Sands to stay close to lions & leopards. Besides, Lawson's also helped me a lot to plan for my tour extension to Victoria Falls.." -Paul Tsui.
The Cape is a truly remarkable piece of land. Hemmed in by the Atlantic Ocean to the south and west and an intricate system of Fold Mountains on the inland side, it is possibly as un-African it gets without leaving the continent. The winter rainfall regime, strong summer winds, and unique topography have contributed to a high degree of endemism and a singularly unique floral kingdom, described originally by the Dutch settlers as Fynbos, or ‘Fine Bush’.
While big terrestrial mammals were never common here, there are some endemics to be seen, such as the Cape Mountain Zebra and Bontebok, while marine animals such as Southern Right Whale and Great White Shark can also be seen. Moving up-country from the Cape, the next port-of-call is the Greater Kruger National Park, a protected area of 19 485 km² which is home to all of Africa’s iconic big game species, as well as myriad birds and other smaller creatures.
Combining these two areas, this Cape and Kruger Safari Tours will create a rewarding and memorable South African wildlife experience, one which will probably make you want to come back to see the rest of the country.
