Small group vacations in South Africa
Small group vacations in South Africa can be a great way to keep costs down, for solo travelers to make friends, or simply to get well off the beaten track in the company of an experienced guide and driver – without having to worry about getting lost or having enough supplies. Some itineraries focus on activities such as cycling, walking or food and wine – while others take in more traditional safaris or follow the gorgeous Garden Route.
