Best South African Holiday: Safari to Cape Town, Travel Guide.

Secret Escapes in collaboration with South African Tourism set out to create a video that would promote South Africa as a great destination for UK residents. The trip takes us on a quick stop over in Johannesburg, to Mala Mala game reserve in Sabi Sabi. Within the first 15 minutes of the game drive we saw the big 5. Mara Mara is a Luxury private game reserve. From The Kruger we visited Blyde River Canyon, a most do stop for any South African Road trip. Blyde River Canyon has the most incredible view for early morning sunrises. If you're lucky you will experience the fog lift out of the valley. We Stayed at Forever Blyde. From there we left for Cape Town, and visited some of the trendy restaurants on Bree street, the food culture is world class. No stop in Cape Town is Complete without a trip up Table Mountain and a view of the 12 Apostles at Sunset. What a place for sundowners!!! To Finish off the trip, we had to explore the wine route, in Stellenbosch. We visited Vergenoegd Wine Estate, otherwise known as the Duck Wine Farm. They Release 1200 Indian Runner Ducks into the Vineyards every day, so eat the sails from the vines. This has to be one of the best South African Itineraries, let us know what you think of the video in the comments.

Each video takes on a different region of the Western Cape, in the "Get in a good space" series.
