South Africa Revealed: A Journey through the Rainbow Nation

Our journey begins in Cape Town, known as the Rainbow Nation because of its cultural, ethnic, and culinary diversity, and includes visits to the Southern tip of Africa - the Cape of Good Hope and the top of Table Mountain. Enjoy the stunning scenery and delicious wines in Stellenbosch and Franschoek while savoring the magnificent Cape Malay culinary delights - a cacophony of Asian, European, and African herbs and spices.

Travel to Johannesburg and experience the excitement of a vibrant African city. A visit to the Apartheid Museum will educate us on how this nation emerged from the dark days of forced segregation to being a modern nation where generations of ethnic groups live side-by-side in Soweto - formerly a black township where civil rights leaders such as Nelson Mandela and Desmond Tutu began their struggle for freedom. We will stay in Sandton a thriving modern shopping and restaurant district, located just outside the Johannesburg city limits.
