Good 2-day experiences fill up weeks ahead; the great ones go first. Below: the 15 to book early, what each includes and how they differ.
Two days from Cape Town to a 4-star lodge for sunset and morning safaris, plus Cape Agulhas and Hermanus sights.
“The Safari was Beautiful. Food was great. But the highlight was Chris our Guide. So much experience, knowledge and interest in telling us more about his home. Thank you Chris !!!!!”
Two days from Cape Town to Oudtshoorn with 4x4 safaris at Botlierskop and Buffelsdrift, Route 62 drive, optional elephant viewing.
“This tour was so much more than we expected. All the guides (I.e. Memory and Hailey - sadly I forgot the name of the elephant guides) were very open and friendly and shared lots of detailed information on the animals, as well as Cape Town and some fun personal facts. Especially our overall guide for the two days Nev (Siabulela) was incredibly funny, with details about his own life and interesting facts on Cape Town. The accommodation was comfortable and clean as well and the food was very delicious and not too expensive. There were also enough pit stops to get water/ coffee, without it being too much. Overall I…”
Two days from Cape Town to the Garden Route game lodge for sunset and sunrise Big Five drives, plus Cape Agulhas, Hermanus, and penguins.
“Amazing trip! Road trip with some nice stops to get local food. On the road we already saw some bonobo's, falcons, blue cranes and many more. The safari was just marvelous, seen the big 5, with a short stop to get a drink in nature at sunset. Next morning waking up with elephants in the middle of nowhere. The lodge was superb, and there was even an infinity pool. Very friendly and funny guide on our way there, and the rangers were very friendly and had tons of expertise. A 5* experience for me!”
Two days from Cape Town to Klein Karoo game reserves, with open 4x4 safaris, an Oudtshoorn overnight, and optional rescued-elephant walk.
“We had a great trip from the moment we were picked up at our accommodation. We had a lovely guide/driver (Isaac) during the trip who was happy to answer any questions we had during the trip. Was very helpful. The guides we had during our Safari were all very good too. Would recommend!”

Port Elizabeth safari with a full day in malaria-free Addo Elephant National Park, a Sundays River cruise, and a guided giraffe walk.
Two-day Kruger safari from Johannesburg with morning and evening open-vehicle drives, chances at the Big Five, and a lodge stay.
“This is no way is a review about the park itself. The safari is lovely and seeing the animals in their natural habitat is a once in a lifetime experience. Our driver, Rudzani is 10/5 stars - he’s that amazing! However the reason why I didn’t give this tour a full five stars is because of the accommodation. I just felt it could have been better in terms of service, quality, food, etc. if you’re expecting people to pay such a fee food should be all inclusive in my opinion. A space where they can grow is also communication and proper planning. Even our safari driver was confused about certain…”

2-day Cape Town private highlights: Table Mountain, Seal Island and Boulders penguins, Robben Island, Groot Constantia wine, Kirstenbosch.
“Good tour but timings of visits changed as Robben island and Table Mountain subject to weather ie visit whilst you can. Also the time of year (1st Jan 2020)we went is a popular time so the queues for table mountain were long - over 2 hours just to get up - so opted out. Otherwise the 2 day tour gave a good overall experience of the Cape. The guide Josh was charming and helpful.”
Half-day safari from Durban combining Tala Game Reserve and Natal Lion Park for lions, elephants, and a 2-hour wildlife drive.
“Very nice guide and everyone on the safari in general. The only downside was that the air conditioning in the bus was much too cold, so everyone was freezing.”
Two days of Big 5 safari, fully catered lodge stay at Inverdoorn in the Ceres Karoo, with sunset and sunrise drives.
“Excellent accommodation, everybody was very pleasant and kind, we saw 4 of the big five. Our guide, Prosper was very informative and nice to be around. It would be better to visit during warmer months, but nevertheless everything was perfect.”
Private 2-day Cape Town highlights with Table Mountain, penguins, Cape Good Hope, Robben Island, Bo-Kaap and Stellenbosch wine tastings.
“This was a perfect way of seeing and learning about the key areas and politics around Cape Town and South Africa. The private tour was just us and the very experienced guide, Alex. He was lovely and everyone seemed to know him. He was very flexible and even helped with bartering when getting some souvenirs. He chose lovely places for lunch.”
