Finish a classic African safari itinerary with one of the Middle East’s fastest-rising stars on this 14-day air-inclusive package. Spot the Big Five, see the sights of incredible Cape Town and bask in the endless ambition of the Gulf with a stopover in Qatar.
Touch down in Cape Town, the Mother City where two oceans meet. You’ll have three days at leisure, allowing you to plan your Cape Town adventure as you see fit. Take the cable car up to spectacular Table Mountain views, explore the sobering history of Robben Island, sample the flavours and colours of the Bo Kaap neighbourhood, or embark on one of the region’s many day trips, to the Winelands, or the Cape of Good Hope. No matter which activities fill your days, you’ll fall in love with all that is Cape Town.
Fly to Johannesburg, then transfer to Pilanesberg Game Reserve for your South Africa safari. Embark on dawn and dusk safaris, when the animals are most active. In between, devote your day to relaxing at the 5-star Ivory Tree Game Lodge, or visit nearby Sun City entertainment complex. The volcanic landscape of Pilanesberg ensures some spectacular backdrops, so bring a good camera to capture those wildlife shots. Elephants and white rhinos are particularly abundant here.
Stop over in Doha on your way home. Your time is at leisure for the most part, except for a desert adventure that will take you to spectacular Khor Al Adaid, otherwise known as the inland sea. With the rest of your time, you can enjoy golden beaches and largely untouched islands, explore Doha's rapidly expanding art and foodie scenes, walk the corniche, or check out the venues for the 2022 FIFA World Cup.
