Cape Town, the Winelands and a private Kruger safari. The trip most first-timers dream of, done properly. Five nights in Cape Town give you time to wait out the wind and enjoy the city; two nights in the Winelands slow things down; four nights in a private reserve deliver the safari you'll talk about for years.
