From stunning mountain backdrops and majestic wildlife to colonial architecture and gorgeous wineries, South Africa is a treasure trove for those looking for a luxurious holiday packed with epic adventure.<\/p>\n

Somak\u2019s Rainbow Nation coach tour package<\/a> allows you to see the best South Africa has to offer in just 15-days. Here are just some of the places you\u2019ll visit:<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Kruger National Park<\/strong><\/p>\n

As one of South Africa\u2019s largest national parks, Kruger gives you the ultimate safari experience. With untamed wildlife such as the Big Five (buffalo, lion, elephant, leopard and rhinoceros) roaming freely in this impressive park, visiting Kruger is something you can boast ticking off your bucket list.<\/p>\n

As part of our Rainbow Nation package<\/a> you\u2019ll stay at the Hippo Hollow Country Estate<\/a> for two nights, giving you ample time to experience the unparalleled wilderness Kruger National Park<\/a> has to offer. The stunning thatched chalets of the estate overlook the mighty Sabie River. You can enjoy a picturesque picnic by the river while keeping your eyes peeled for the local hippo and crocodile residents. If that wasn\u2019t enough, the two pools within the estate make for the perfect place to relax and unwind after an exciting day of exploring the African bush.<\/p>\n

For something extra special, you can take to the skies and get a unique bird\u2019s-eye view of Kruger National Park on a helicopter flight. Watching giraffe and zebra gallop across the plains below you is an experience you\u2019ll never forget.<\/p>\n

Cape Town<\/strong><\/p>\n

The final stop on our Rainbow Nation coach tour package<\/a> is Cape Town. With Table Mountain looming over the city and a plethora of restaurants, museums and shops available, spending time in Cape Town<\/a> is a great way to end your South African adventure.<\/p>\n

Wine aficionados can stray from Cape Town to nearby Constantia Valley<\/a>, home to some of the oldest wineries. Constantia is only a half-hour drive from Cape Town and showcases a fantastic selection of gorgeous vineyards and lavish wine estates – it won\u2019t be long before you\u2019re relaxing with a glass of quality South African wine in your hand.<\/p>\n
