Iconic South Africa (Collette Land Tour)

One extraordinary journey. Three unforgettable sides of South Africa.

From the history and culture of Johannesburg and Soweto, to unforgettable wildlife encounters in Kruger National Park, and the breathtaking beauty of Cape Town and the Cape Winelands, the Iconic South Africa Collette Land Tour is filled with experiences that belong on every traveler’s bucket list.

MEET YOUR TRUSTED SOUTH AFRICAN TOUR MANAGER — THYS!

This special journey will be accompanied by Thys De Wet, a trusted South African guide and experienced tour manager, who will help bring the history, culture, wildlife, and beauty of South Africa to life throughout the adventure. Having a knowledgeable local South African tour manager adds an extra level of insight to the journey, giving travelers the opportunity to experience this incredible country with someone who knows it firsthand.

🦁 Come Face-to-Face With Africa’s Wildlife

Imagine spending four nights near Kruger National Park with multiple safari opportunities. Venture into the bush aboard open-air vehicles as you search for the legendary Big Five — lions, leopards, rhinos, elephants, and Cape buffalo.

With full-day game drives, an early-morning safari, and an afternoon drive, you’ll have multiple chances to witness Africa’s incredible wildlife in its natural surroundings.

🏛️ Walk Through South Africa’s History

Explore the Apartheid Museum and discover South Africa’s remarkable journey from segregation to democracy. Visit Soweto, experience its vibrant community, see the former home of Nelson Mandela, and enjoy lunch at a local shabeen.

These are the experiences that turn a vacation into a meaningful journey.

🍷 Sip Your Way Through the Cape Winelands

Leave the safari behind for the stunning vineyards of Stellenbosch and Franschhoek. Wander through Stellenbosch, visit wineries, enjoy cellar tours and tastings, and savor lunch surrounded by the beauty of South Africa’s renowned wine country.

🌊 Discover the Beauty of Cape Town

Cape Town brings another unforgettable chapter to the journey. Ride the cable car up Table Mountain for spectacular views, explore the Victoria & Alfred Waterfront, visit Cape Point, and meet the charming African penguins at Boulders Beach.

You’ll also explore the colorful Bo-Kaap neighborhood and learn to prepare traditional Cape Malay dishes before enjoying the meal you created.
