Dry-season Greater Kruger from May–September, with Cape Town and the Winelands as a breathing finish.
This is a starting point. We refine lodges, flying days and pacing around who is travelling, the season and how you like to spend a safari afternoon.
This route focuses on Mpumalanga. We adjust lodge choice, flight legs and the number of nights in each area to match your season and travel style.
Travel style: Scenic drive. Perfect before or after Kruger.
Johannesburg and Cape Town are major hubs. Scheduled and charter flights connect Kruger reserves; self-drive suits the Cape and Garden Route.
The interior bushveld dry season runs May to September. Cape Town has a Mediterranean climate — warm dry summers and cooler wet winters. The Garden Route is mild year-round.
May to September for safari; September to November for whales near Hermanus. We often finish with Cape Town or the Winelands after bush time.
