13 Days – Johannesburg, Lesotho, Drakensberg, Durban & Cape Town

A 5 day tour around the beautiful city of Cape Town and its surroundings.

Johannesburg, Lesotho, Drakensberg, Durban & Cape Town

Johannesburg, Durban and Cape Town are three of South Africa’s main cities, so this 13-day trip is especially amazing as a traveler can fully experience all the various urban personalities the country has to offer. This trip is similar to our 10-day trip through Johannesburg, Lesotho, Drakensberg and Durban, with a very special addition of ending the tour in the Mother City – Cape Town!

As we drive around the Eastern Cape and Gauteng provinces of South Africa, we also visit the land-locked country of Lesotho. You will be amazed by the stunning range of mountains called the Drakensberg, while also enjoying the twists and turns of the Sani Pass Route in Lesotho, which will take you to the highest pub in Africa! The beauty of Cape Town will also leave you speechless, as the tour takes you adventuring through the Mother City, from the top of table mountain to the cobblestone streets of Bo-Kaap and the winelands of Stellenbosch.
