DAY 1 DURBAN
Discover golden sands and great surf in Durban. Those who arrive early should definitely head to the Golden Mile, a stretch of fine sand bordered on one side by clear water and on the other by cosmopolitan restaurants
DAYS 2-3 WILD COAST
One of South Africa's most pristine areas, the Wild Coast is a truly magical destination where waterfalls rush straight into the sea. Spend time trekking through ancient forests or simply savour the wonderful scenery. A visit to the Nelson Mandela Museum en route provides an insight into the legacy of this inspirational leader.
DAYS 4-5 HOGSBACK
The call of colourful parrots and louries form the soundtrack to hikes through the beautiful forests surrounding Hogsback. Gaze in astonishment at the enormous trunks of yellowwood trees and the flame-coloured foliage of tree fuchsia en route to some of the area's waterfalls. Alternately, take it easy and simply soak up the relaxed atmosphere of these scenic surrounds.
DAY 6 ADDO ELEPHANT NATIONAL PARK
Once an Elephant sanctuary, Addo Elephant National Park now shelters Lions, Elephants, Buffalo, Leopards and Rhinos. Extraordinarily, it's also home to Great White Sharks and Whales and is the exclusive domain of the fascinating flightless Dung Beetle.

DAY 11 STELLENBOSCH
Relax amid the rows of vines in Africa's principle wine-growing region. Take a stroll through this lively town and admire its architectural gems before spending the night in a winery. Learn the secrets to making South Africa's legendary reds and whites, perhaps taking the opportunity to indulge in a glass.
