Plan with Alex
Plan Augrabies beyond the viewpoints
Travel from Johannesburg into wildlife country, follow the warm coast toward the Cape, or let spring flowers lead you north into the Kalahari.
We begin with the part of South Africa you most want to feel, then give the country enough time to change around you.
I want you to follow leopard tracks at dawn, swim in the warm Indian Ocean, meet artists and historians in the cities, then watch the last light turn the Kalahari dunes red. South Africa can hold all of this in one journey.
