Backpacking South Africa? This one’s for you.

Start your journey in vibrant Johannesburg, then head straight into the wild with two nights in legendary Kruger National Park. Spot lions, elephants, rhinos, and more on daily game drives and guided bush walks. At night, swap stories around the fire and fall asleep in a cozy permanent tent under the stars, surrounded by the sounds of nature.

Next, hop a short flight to Cape Town—South Africa’s laid-back, mountain-meets-sea gem. From here, road-trip the famous Garden Route. This stretch is packed with unreal views, epic coastlines, and cool little towns. Explore the ancient Cango Caves, wander through lush forests, and dive into adventure activities like kayaking, hiking, or even bungee jumping if you’re feeling brave.

Wrap it all up with a day exploring the Cape Peninsula and the Cape of Good Hope. Think dramatic cliffs, penguin colonies, and perfect sunset spots.

It’s a mix of nature, culture, and full-on adventure—all in one trip. Whether you’re solo or with a crew, this tour is an awesome way to see South Africa on a backpacker’s vibe, with just the right balance of chill and thrill.
