WHALES AND WILD DOGS
The South African winter season offers the perfect opportunity and the best time of the year to visit and discover the multitude of experiences that this beautiful and diverse country has to offer. We have combined a Cape and Bush holiday that promises to deliver the perfect holiday of relaxation, pleasure, pampering, enrichment and value.
Cape Town has many fascinating tourist attractions, that are quiet and easily accessible, from July until October. Most days are mild, bright and sunny and whale watching, including the Southern Cross whale, is frequent. Whether cruising along the staggeringly beautiful Chapman's Peak Drive to Cape Point or from the bedrooms, restaurant and bar at The Twelve Apostles Hotel and Spa, it is likely you will catch a glimpse of these awesome creatures along the coastline!
Thereafter, experience the magic of nature and the wilderness at Madikwe Hills, located a mere 4-hour drive from Johannesburg or a 45-minute flight from O.R. Tambo International Airport, and spot the Big Five and the elusive Wild Dog too! The game viewing is unsurpassed during the winter months as the days are clear, warm and sunny, and the animals search out the remaining waterholes. The crisp, cool evenings are ideal for exchanging sightings, bush stories and for gazing at the bright and vast starry African night sky!
