For anyone looking to taste of the best of South Africa and its neighbors, Southern Xplorer’s 21-day Southern Africa Xplorer tour is the perfect answer. Think of it as a carefully curated travel tasting menu—an adventure that lets you sample the most iconic highlights, leaving you hungry for more!

The journey kicks off in Johannesburg, South Africa’s vibrant ‘City of Gold’. From here, you’ll head to Kruger National Park, home to the Big Five and part of the Great Limpopo Transfrontier Conservation Area—an immense wilderness area that’s larger than Belgium! You’ll then journey to Eswatini (formerly Swaziland), a small country renowned for its friendly people and breathtaking landscapes.

Next, prepare for the grandeur of the Drakensberg Mountains. Whether you’re rock climbing, hiking, or simply soaking in the views, the Drakensberg offers an experience that’s nothing short of epic. The tour then heads to the majestic mountain kingdom of Lesotho, a place close to my heart. Words can’t quite capture its magic—Lesotho is one of those places you need to experience to understand its allure.

From Lesotho, the tour moves to the Wild Coast, where the sound of crashing waves in Coffee Bay will lull you to sleep. The Wild Coast is an undiscovered gem, and there’s no better way to experience its beauty than with Southern Xplorer.

The adventure continues along the world-famous Garden Route, where you’ll find a spectrum of thrilling activities to satisfy any adventurer—bungy jumping, ziplining, and kayaking to name a few. Even though I’ve traveled this route many times, there’s always something new to discover. Finally, your journey ends in Cape Town, a city so stunning it’ll leave you speechless.

No matter how many times I visit, South Africa always leaves me craving more. If you’re ready for the adventure of a lifetime, I can promise that with Southern Xplorer, you’ll fall in love with Africa—and be counting the days until you can return
