Hello all,
My partner and I are planning a trip to South Africa in May 2025 and came up with the following rough plan, for those who’ve been before or any South Africans lurking on these forums, is this feasible or is it too much?
For anyone who’s been or again any locals, how much are car rentals, fuel and eating out going to cost roughly? Getting a lot of mixed answers online
1. Fly overnight to Cape Town
2. Land in Cape Town: wander around town, lions head hike? Try all the delicious food
- Cape Town – Table Mountain (hike up and cable car down), head to the beach
- Cape Town – Robben Island, boulder beach colony or head out to Stellenbosch wine tour and stay overnight?
- Gansbaai/hermanus – cage dive or whale tour
6, 7, 8. Garden route - Tsitsikamma, Storm river, Mossel bay, Knysna, Garden of Eden and or Addo Elephant Park (Any combination of the above?)
9. Fly to Durban, straight out to Drakenberg or Royal Natal National Park (RNNP)
- Hike in the Drakkenberg (Tugela Gorge?)
- Chill out day, possibly back to Durban for more food adventures
12, 13. Travel (plane and car) Arriving in evening at Sabi Sands for 2 nights
- Panorama Route or extra day in Kruger
16. Day of travel back to Johannesburg and fly out in the evening
Let me know your thoughts! Looking forward to heading out there, also hoping to catch some rugby out there but unsure if there are any international games on but might be some super rugby
