Avontuurlijke reis door Zuid-Afrika
Reisroute
Van het spotten van de Big Five op de savanne tot het beklimmen van de hoogten van de Tafelberg, er zijn zoveel redenen om naar Zuid-Afrika te reizen. Daarom hebben we Zuid-Afrika Adventure gecreëerd, een 12-daagse reis waarbij je wordt ondergedompeld in inheemse Zulu-gemeenschappen, kuddes olifanten en troepen leeuwen kunt spotten tijdens een unieke safari, schitterende steden kunt verkennen, rond kunt varen op het Kaapse schiereiland en nog veel meer. Met een ervaren groepsleider vanaf het moment dat je landt, een instant crew van maten en hulp bij al je verdere reizen, maak je je klaar voor het avontuur van je leven!
+ Onze reizen zijn allemaal 100% CO2-neutraal!
Reisprogramma
AANKOMST IN JOBURG!
ONTDEK JOHANNESBURG
Vandaag leren we eerst over de geschiedenis van Soweto township. We bezoeken het prachtig ontworpen Apartheidsmuseum of het huis van Mandela, afhankelijk van de beschikbaarheid. Later gaan we wat drinken in de beste watergaten in de buurt.
REIS NAAR GRASKOP VIA DE PANORAMA ROUTE
Vandaag verlaten we JoBurg om de diepte van Afrika in te trekken. We ontbijten in het hotel en rijden dan over de beroemde Panoramaroute om enkele van de mooiste landschappen van Afrika te zien.
KRUGER NATIONAAL PARK
We gaan op weg naar het Kruger National Park en duimen voor onze eerste waarnemingen van exotisch wild tijdens onze rit. Vanavond genieten we op onze vooraf opgezette camping van een traditionele Potjie, een Zuid-Afrikaans gerecht dat traditioneel buiten wordt bereid in een gietijzeren ketel.
Verken de KRUGER!
Vandaag is het hoogtepunt van onze reis - een unieke gamedrive in een open voertuig door het Kruger National Park! We kijken uit naar kuddes machtige olifanten, neushoorns, buffels, troepen leeuwen en op de loer liggende luipaarden, en onze ervaren gidsen zullen ervoor zorgen dat we de best mogelijke ervaring hebben. Vanavond geeft onze gids ons uitleg over de geschiedenis van ons diner, bekend als braai; een traditionele Zuid-Afrikaanse BBQ voordat we de nacht doorbrengen met het staren naar een oneindige sterrenhemel.
REIS NAAR ESWATINI
Vanochtend steken we de grens over naar Eswatini, een kleine niet aan zee grenzende natie waar het Hlane Royal National Park ligt. Vanavond is er nog een kans om je favoriete dieren te spotten tijdens een gamedrive bij zonsondergang door de graslanden, en als we geluk hebben worden we vanavond getrakteerd op een show van rangers die hun traditionele Swazi-zang ten gehore brengen.
LOKALE LEVENSWIJZE
Vandaag reizen we terug naar Zuid-Afrika, in zuidelijke richting naar Mkuzie. Nadat we zijn aangekomen, stoppen we bij een lokale crèche om contact te leggen met de gemeenschap en wat tijd door te brengen met de kinderen, om een kijkje te krijgen in hun dagelijkse schoolleven. Later deze middag hebben we de gelegenheid om te ontspannen en te genieten van onze prachtige accomodatie voor het diner. Deze avond is een echt hoogtepunt - een showcase van traditionele Zulu-dansen!
KUSTGEBIEDEN
Vanochtend brengen we tijd door in een lokaal Zoeloe dorp om te ontdekken hoe het traditionele leven op het platteland eruitziet. Daarna gaan we op weg naar de kust en nemen onze intrek in onze strandlodge. De middag is vrij om te ontspannen - of dat nu luieren op het zand is of een duik nemen in het zwembad. Vanavond eten we een plaatselijke favoriet: Bunny Chow, een geliefd Zuid-Afrikaans gerecht gemaakt van een brood gevuld met curry - zeker een aanrader!
TAFELMOLEN
We vertrekken vanochtend vroeg voor onze korte vlucht naar Kaapstad. Vanmiddag stijgen we naar de hemel om de iconische Tafelberg te beklimmen (als het weer het toelaat, alternatieve activiteit in de winter). De frisse lucht gaat gepaard met dramatische uitzichten, waardoor de Tafelberg een van de Nieuwe 7 Natuurwonderen is geworden, en we genieten van een prachtig uitzicht over het majestueuze natuurlijke amfitheater. Deze avond gaan we naar het V&A Waterfront om te wandelen, te winkelen en van het uitzicht te genieten.
Verken CAPE TOWN
Vandaag maken we een wandeling door Bo-Kaap, een gebied dat bekend staat om zijn kleurrijke huizen en Kaap-Maleise cultuur. De tour gaat verder met een rit langs de Houses of Parliament, het stadhuis, Slave Lodge, District 6 Museum, Slave Lodge, het kasteel en het stadion van Kaapstad. We sluiten de dag af met een cocktail in de hand terwijl we de zon zien ondergaan.
CAPE PENINSULA TOUR
Bereid je voor op een dag vol avontuur terwijl we de dramatische stranden en kliffen van Cape Peninsula verkennen. We maken een boottocht om wilde pelsrobben van dichtbij te zien, stoppen voor foto's bij de indrukwekkende Chapman's Peak, verkennen dan het Kaap de Goede Hoop Natuurreservaat en hangen rond bij een kolonie wilde Afrikaanse pinguïns op Boulders Beach. Vanavond gaan we uit voor ons afscheidsdiner in een funky restaurant.
UITchecken en verder reizen
Je fantastische 12-daagse avontuur komt tot een einde. Je kunt uitchecken en terug naar huis gaan, je verblijf in Kaapstad verlengen of verder reizen in Afrika. We staan klaar om je te helpen met je verdere reis!
