We meet you at Port Elizabeth International Airport. Checking in a hotel, after that you will have some time to rest, and later in the evening we are going to have a little briefing. Port Elizabeth is our first tour station for the next week. This is the place where sardine run takes place in early June, and where we go out in the ocean on the daily basis. Besides just a place to sleep, the city has a lot of interesting things: museums, restaurants, parks and other places of interest. The best beaches of the RSA are located here. But we hope we simply won't have time for that.

We spend the entire day out in the ocean looking for sardines and other animals. Usually, the Sardine Run is 30% diving and 70% snorkeling. Be ready to take your best pictures!

Attention: in case of bad weather conditions, the ocean programme will be replaced with an alternate on-shore one.

Here start a new stage of our trip - a safari in the Kruger National Park. We go by plane to Nelspruit, get Jeeps and prepare to the safari. Kruger Park, the first and the oldest national park of the Republic of South Africa, is located in the East of the former Transvaal Province, between the rivers Limpopo and Crocodilia. According to TripAdvisor, Kruger Park is the synonym of safari. Its length is 340 km (211 miles) from North to South. Just try to imagine what it's like, even the climate changes from one part of the park to another. According to the data from the Great Soviet Encyclopedia, the central part of the park has the highest concentration of wild animals in the world. It's a habitat for elephants, buffaloes, hippos, giraffes, rhinoceroses, lions, leopards, Nile crocodiles and 17 species of antelopes alone. In addition to that, there are more than 400 species of birds! We are going to see if not all, but the bigger possible part of the animal world, and we have everything we need for that: time, guides and suitable Jeeps. You should keep your cameras handy and bring a couple of spare batteries for them, because this is a real chance to take the best pictures ever in your life.
The WHO (the World Health Organization) reckons the Kruger National Park as a malaria-dangerous zone. The locals claim, that there has been no malaria in the park for a long time. We recommend that you consult with your doctor about taking antimalarial pills. The preventing course should be started two weeks before the trip.

We are going to spend the whole time in Kruger Park looking for animals and taking pictures of them. It is allowed to be at the park territory from 6:00 AM till 6:00 PM, this is why we are going to wake up very early, so that we don't waste even a minute.
According to Kruger Park's administration, there are around 1 500 lions, 12 000 elephants, 2 500 buffaloes, 1 000 leopards and 5 000 rhinoceroses (both white and black) living at the territory of the park. "A rhino! A giraffe! A lion! A buffalo! A zebra! A leopard!" - in such an amusement you are going to spend these days.

We make yet one more trip to Kruger Park, after which we go back to the airport of Nelspruit city, return the Jeeps and fly in the evening to Cape Town.
Welcome to the second most populated, but the most famous city of the Republic of South Africa. It was founded in 1652 and served as a way-station for the Dutch ships travelling from Europe to India. You should the epithets that are used for Cape Town: some people call it a cultural capital, others - a legislative center (the Parliament and other State institution are situated in the city), and many tourists are certain that this is the most beautiful city in the world. Soon enough you will get the opportunity to see that for yourself.

We are going on a general sightseeing tour around Cape Town, and in the afternoon we climb up Table Mountain.
Table Mountain was acknowledged as one of the new Wonders of the World, it's the calling card of Cape Town. Its altitude above the sea level is 1085 meters (3 560 ft), and its silhouette is depicted in the city flag. The surface of the mountain looks as though it's absolutely flat, just like the surface of a table, hence the name Table Mountain. All the tourists that come to the RSA visit this place.

We are going to the most southern point of the continent - the Cape of Good Hope. While driving down there, we'll stop by a beach to take pictures with penguins. Technically, the Cape of Good Hope isn't the most southern point of Africa, although it's a common opinion. The geographical confusion can explained by the fact that entering False Bay, ships go around this very cape. It's a marvelously picturesque place with soft white beached followed by steep cliffs. The mix of the icy water of the Atlantic ocean with the warm water of the Indian ocean created a unique coastal environment and one of the most productive maritime zones. A sanctuary inhabited with rare animals and birds is located here.

This is the most exciting day of our trip when we go out into the open ocean in search for the great white shark. It is surely going to be the day to remember for a long, long time. This is a so called direct adrenaline injection. The moment when you just notice a distinctive fin above the water, your heart will start pounding heavily, bursting out of your chest. The captain will offer you to put on your wetsuit and jump in the water. Your knees will get a little shaky and the only thought is going to race through your mind - "Do i really need this?" Don't worry, nobody is going to let you dive unless you're in a special cage, so everything is perfectly safe.

This is a very relaxing and pleasant day of the tip. We are going to the best wine farms in the suburbs of Cape Town. We're going to visit several vineyards and taste the local wine at each and every one of them.
Wines of the Republic of South Africa is the goal of a great number of adventurers. This country knows the exact date of the beginning of its wine-making history. It's February 2^nd, 1659, the day when Jan van Riebeeck put under pressure his first wine. This idea proved to be so good, that wine-making in the Republic of South Africa has only prospered ever since. At the moment, white grapes constitute the majority of the sorts of grapes here, the most widespread of which is Chenin Blanc, which is used to make white ordinary table wines. But there is a unique sort, a real treasure and an asset of the country, - Pinotage, which is used to make both light and heavy red wines with unsurpassed scent of meadow grass, prune and strawberry.

The last day of the trip. Flying home. At this point, we've spent a week at the Sardine Run, explored Cape Town, seen sharks and dolphins, swam with seals, gone on a real safari, tasted the famous Pinotage wine. Thanks for sharing all these experiences with us! We'll see you on our next trip!

If you want to continue travelling around Africa, we can arrange going to Victoria Falls. All you have to do is just tell us about it!
