is a game reserve of extraordinary bio-diversity the size of a small country. With six distinct ecosystems, the wildlife and birdlife is diverse and populations are carefully managed to sustain the land and its entire spectrum of life. With 147 mammals and and 527 birds on record, the game viewing safari is indeed sensational.
The Cape Town and Kruger Safari gives you 5 days to explore the Cape in a hired car: visit the winelands, the Cape Peninsula Park, Table Mountain, Camps Bay, V&A Waterfront, Robben Island, Guguletu Township, Museums, Galleries and Exhibitions. The list is endless.
After Cape Town - or before, if you've reversed the order of this tour - you will fly up to Kruger National Park for 4 days of world-class safari adventure. Your mornings and evenings are spent on game drives, night drives and walking safaris. In between you'll be sleeping or eating. What a life.
And a word to the wise: if you're looking to book a honeymoon that combines the romance of Cape Town and the indulgent luxury and excitement of an African safari. Here's your answer.
The range of options is incredible with your choice of hired car, accommodation location and style; budget; duration - you can extend your stay, add on a visit up the Garden Route. Our best advice: Talk to your Travel Expert.

We don't have any reviews of this exact tour but here's what people have said about their holidays. If you want to read more reviews, visit our client comments section. If you would like to submit your own review please use the contact form on this page.
We would like to commend the high service received from Namibian Tours and Safaris especially taking into account the short length of time you had to arrange this holiday for us. The recommendations and itinerary were ideal with the majority of our stay in each location being the right duration. The whole process of booking this holiday was hassle free and we would not hesitate in recommending your services to others.
We would specifically like to thank you, Alison, for all of your hard work which resulted in a truly fabulous holiday for us. Also, it was great to meet up with you in Solitaire where you expressed so much love for your country and this was clearly mirrored in the schedule and service you presented to us allowing us to experience this fantastic country. It will not be the case of 'if' we return to Namibia, it is more the case of 'when' we will return as we enjoyed it so much.
A special mention for Edward he did a super job – vouchers and maps were with our car hire agency at the airport – book presentation of whole trip was clear, easy to follow and complete. He even gave us his mobile No in case we encounter some problems. Really to recommend as Tour Operator and will use them again next time.
Road – all went well and thanks to have recommended a 4Wheel Drive Car – due to rough road conditions we appreciated – you could do it with a normal car and met tourists with B type cars but they took much longer for the journeys – had more issues with flat tyres and most admitted next time they will take a 4Wheel Drive Car.
Would like to thank you for all your time spent and hard work to find best places, difficult tasks due to budget restrictions. I will recommend you and your agency whenever I can – actually already did in Joburg – hope brings you some new customers - and of course will come to you for my next trip this time to South Africa hopefully in 2012.
Dear Wilmari,
Back home and I wanted to take a moment to thank you again for planning a perfect vacation for us. I was especially pleased that for the accommodation with dinner all knew about my allergies and cooked accordingly. The Cheetah experience made my daughter very happy and they were so kind to not even charge me for taking pictures.
Highlight of our trip was the stay in
The Fort
The Fort
With a range of desert-adapted architectural styles, The Fort in Onguma Game Reserve is an award-winning safari lodge near Etosha National Park.

and we are determined to return one day.

I cannot recommend to anybody (fined for driving on their property and below average dinner buffet) and also the Olivia Guesthouse was a letdown when it came to the food (lunch and breakfast).
I have posted some pictures on Flickr, maybe you want to have a look and I'm always happy to read comments.
Last but not least: Could you please send us the itinerary you prepared for us and we received at arrival electronically? Some of my friends are interested to book the same trip with you.
