Itinerary Summary
This tour is a popular choice amongst honeymooners and families with young children, as all three destinations are in malaria-free areas, offering family-friendly accommodation, activities, and sightseeing, even in the Cape Winelands. Madikwe Game Reserve is one of Southern Africa’s premium “Big 5” safari destinations, with no need for malarial prophylactics. Most lodges in the Madikwe Game Reserve welcome children of all ages and offer specially designed child-friendly programmes to keep the little ones busy, ensuring that they enjoy their safari experience. This tour can also easily be converted into a culinary tour, focusing on food and wine experiences, as both Cape Town and Stellenbosch are considered South Africa’s culinary capitals.
