Embark on Themba Travel's 12-day, 11-night Best of the South and the North tour and dive into a South African adventure you’ll cherish forever.

Start in Cape Town, where you’ll not only explore the vibrant arts scene and iconic landmarks like Table Mountain and Robben Island but also enjoy an authentic Cape Malay treat on the Bo-Kaap tour. Unwind with a rejuvenating half-day spa treatment in a boutique hotel, connect with local community heroes, and marvel at the African penguin colony at Boulders Beach. This is more than sightseeing—it’s about truly experiencing the heartbeat of Cape Town.

From there, stay in the township’s first 4-star boutique hotel, where you’ll enjoy traditional cuisine and delve into the local culture. Explore the scenic winelands of Paarl, Stellenbosch, and Wellington, where wine tasting and cultural exchanges await. Your adventure culminates with a thrilling safari at Dinokeng Game Reserve, where you’ll search for the Big 5 and immerse yourself in the rich Batswana culture. Visit Soweto to see the homes of Nelson Mandela and Archbishop Desmond Tutu, and join local festivities that will make your journey unforgettable. This tour is crafted to offer a perfect blend of luxury, culture, and adventure—ensuring an extraordinary and immersive experience.

Enjoy a fun activity after breakfast in the city, meander in the winelands by lunch time and have dinner in the mountains, all in one day. And all along you would be greeted by friendly and welcoming people. A beautiful mix!

Itinerary Overview

The best view is from Table Mountain, and try pronouncing its indigenous name. Visit iconic attractions like District Six Museum, Zeitz Mocha Museum and Robben Island. Drive the Cape Peninsula route stop at Boulders Beach at the African penguin colony. And if the weather is good, you can take a swim here. 

We embark on a township walk-about and enjoy traditional cuisine. From here, we will also venture into the wide open spaces of the Westcoast. 

Explore the quaint historic towns of Paarl, Stellenbosch and Wellington. Meet local youth and women and exchange stories of hope. Hop on and off the Franschhoek tram to do some wine tasting. 

A trip into the Soweto town takes us to the homes of the late Nelson Mandela and Archbishop Desmond Tutu. Join in the singing and dancing when we visit the local community next to the reserve for cultural immersion into the Batswana people.
