Key Highlights & Tips

• Diverse experience: You’ll move from metropolitan vibrancy (Cape Town) to wildlife immersion (Madikwe) to resort relaxation (Sun City) and then city bustle again (Johannesburg).
• Active components: Early morning game drives & hiking Table Mountain mean you’ll want to pack for activity.
• Flexible “free day”: On Feb 18, you have time to pick your own adventure — a bonus for personalization.
• Travel days: Feb 19 and Feb 21 involve transitions (flights, check-out/in) — plan accordingly for some downtime.
• Packing considerations: From beach scenes in Cape Town to safari gear for Madikwe, and urban comforts in Johannesburg — layering will be key.
