Victoria Falls Kruger Safari – 1 night Johannesburg | 2 nights Victoria Falls | 1 night Johannesburg | 3 nights Sabi Sand | 1 night Franschhoek | 4 nights Cape Town
Overview
I emailed Tammy June of 2018 planning for a group of family & friends to go to South Africa.
Tammy was so efficient I bet we have over hundreds of emails back & forth to customized the 13 day itinerary.
She planned all our air and land transfers (always on time) she suggested the accommodations (according to my budget)
We just came back from an amazing experience of Victoria falls, safari at sabi sands, winelands at Franschhoek and Cape town.
Tammy was ALWAYS available when the group have some questions and need help.
Our next African adventure will surely contact Tammy again!

Many of the 42 wine estates on the Franschhoek Wine Route offer informative guided wine-tastings to the public as well as cellar tours or tours of the vineyards. Some of them also make cheese, chocolate and olive oil and offer tastings of these products alongside their wines. Many of them have on-site restaurants offering food that ranges from gastronomical delights to picnic hampers to enjoy under the oak trees. There is a hop-on hop-off Wine Tram, which visits some of these estates.
