Today you depart by plane from the UK to Johannesburg with connecting flight(s) along the way.

On your arrival in Johannesburg, you will be picked up from the airport and driven to the camp  where you will be staying for the next four nights. The afternoon can be enjoyed at the camp, jumping in the pool and just relaxing after the flight.

You will leave the lodge early in the morning and you will not be back until late in the day. What the day has in store for you is impossible to say – and that’s what makes safari so fascinating! The feeling of being there where the animals live is absolutely overwhelming. Impalas, buffaloes, giraffes and elephants emerge from the bush and disappear again. There are storks, eagles and vultures, crocodiles, hippos – and lions. There is no guarantee of seeing the Big 5, but the chances are really high. You might like to bring a pair of binoculars with you from home, so you can help keep an eye out. In the middle of the day, there is a lunch break at one of the many camp sites found in the park. There is a small café here where you can buy food and drinks and maybe a snack or two.

At the end of the day, you will return to the camp and enjoy a good dinner.

These two days are yours to do with as you wish.

You may wish simply to relax by the pool or have a massage, but you can also choose to go on one of the extra excursions organised by TourCompass.

Below is a selection of supplementary tour options.

Today it’s time to say goodbye to “the bush” and the animals. Ahead of you awaits South Africa’s most beautiful metropolis, so you’ve really got something to look forward to! You will be driven to the airport and fly to Cape Town. You will be met by our local partner and driven to your hotel, where you’ll be staying for the next four nights.

The days In Cape Town are at your disposal.

If you would like to experience some of the most popular places and sights such as the prison island, Robben Island, a hike to the top of Table Mountain, a visit to a township or whale watching, we strongly urge you to purchase these excursions from home. There are often a limited number of places, especially on the most popular excursions.

Even without excursions, however, there is plenty to do in Cape Town. The museums, sights, restaurants, shops, buildings and markets are enough for a whole holiday in themselves. Enjoy!

We’ll bet that you’re not quite done exploring Cape Town when the driver picks you up to drive you to the airport. But in reality, this is the best goodbye you can take with you from this fascinating city. And ahead of you lies a luxurious beach adventure with blue sea and white sand. You fly from Cape Town (with connecting flight(s)) to Mauritius. You are driven to the hotel, where you will spend the next five nights.

The days in Mauritius are yours to do as you please. The hotel can help with excursions if you wish – or you can spend the days on the beach or by the pool.

The time has come to say goodbye to the beach life. You will be picked up from your hotel and driven to the airport, from which you will fly to the UK, with connecting flight(s) along the way.

You land in the UK after a lovely, eventful holiday.
