Very varied, comfortable and fun!
Although it’s only twelve days, there’s lots of variety in this trip. There’s time on safari, some nice coastal walks, some bird watching, a relaxing wine tasting Sunday, a great city break in Cape Town and penguins! There are only really two travel days and the accommodation is indeed premium. The main stops (2 nights) were all great, especially Amakhala and De Hoop which have real style. Stellenbosch is very good and has plenty of space for relaxing after all the wine tasting. We had a good group and a great guide. And the food and drink in south Africa is great too.

Thoughts on Group Leader
Petro was great. Friendly, knowledgeable and efficient. Also great planning - based on the weather forecast, she tweaked the itinerary so that when we went up Table Mountain we had sunshine and views instead of cloud and rain!
Advice for Potential Travellers
South Africa is quite a long way for 12 days. We asked Exodus to add an extra night in Cape Town (Blackheath Lodge is a great hotel). Cape Town is easy to get around in if you use Uber and there is plenty to see. We then added our own additional week away. With Joburg being a hub airport, it's easy to go somewhere else in or near Africa if you have the time. We chose to go to St Helena in the South Atlantic which was on my bucket list!
