Journey to South Africa with the WITF Travel Club in 2018

• By WITF

The WITF Travel Club is headed to South Africa! Your journey begins in Sandton, a city established in 1969. Famous for its rich veins of gold and other valuable minerals, it is now the bustling cosmopolitan center of greater Johannesburg.   Visit luxurious mansions and informal settlements as you learn about the historical significance of the area. Travel through the spectacular Northern Drakensberg Mountain Range en route to Kruger National Park, the largest game reserve in South Africa.  Enjoy a full day open-air-vehicle safari game drive.  A local expert leads you in search of the “Big 5” – elephant, buffalo, lion, leopard and rhino.  Enjoy a guided tour of one of the oldest working ostrich farms in the area, after which you can catch a glimpse of ostriches big and small while on a tractor safari through the Lucerne fields. The views of Cape Town, Robben Island and Lion’s Head will leave you breathless. Return to the city via Table Bay, passing through the Malay Quarter with its mosques and minarets. Make a special stop at the Milnerton Lighthouse.  At Cape Town, it’s your choice! Take a tour of the wine cellar and learn about the different vintages and blends created at the winery. Or, embark on a scenic walk through the winelands along the Franschhoek River.
