Who's up for some BUSHWACKING in South Africa? It's just one part of our epic 12-day adventure!

South Africa is a serious trip, so I recommend you block out at least 12 days to really soak it in.

And trust us, you can't miss the sophisticated Cape Town scene, and tapping into the REAL South Africa experience. So cruise down Route 62 to Barrydale and some wine country vibes before heading back to the city.

We've got you covered to make it the most impactful trip ever!

March is ideal for bush vibes as temps cool down.
