South Africa safari tours combine Kruger and the private reserves with Cape Town, the Winelands, and the Garden Route. Guests can see the Big Five and still have days in the city and on the coast.

Eton Safaris builds these journeys for first safaris and for travellers adding South Africa to a wider African route.
