A WORLD IN ONE COUNTRY

per person
14 Days/13 Nights
Southern Africa

A World in One Country is an exceptional, long wandering journey through South Africa. From city
life to adventure, wildlife to culture, breath-taking scenery to sun-soaked coasts, South Africa is a
premier travel destination.

Our journey begins in Johannesburg and travels through Mpumalanga, with visits along the
Panorama Route as well as the Kruger National Park, a safari extravaganza. Once you have
encountered the wildlife of the country, you will then travel to the Kingdom of eSwatini, where a

now roam, conserved, and protected. The last leg of the trip is a Garden Route journey ending
with a few days spent in the city of Cape Town.
