This morning go underground to marvel at the icy formations in the Cango Caves, regarded, for good reason, as one of South Africa’s most spectacular natural wonders. We then drive via the spectacular Outeniqua Pass to the town of George, then onto Knysna, perhaps South Africa’s most visually stunning resort, in the heart of the famous Garden Route. Spend the rest of the day discovering the joys of the town’s many art galleries, craft shops and coffee bars. Accommodation: Knysna Log-Inn or similar. Includes: (B), (D).

Day 6: Knysna (Friday). Cruise on the vast Knysna Lagoon, then visit the Featherbed Nature Reserve.

Day 8: The Kingdom of the Zulu’s (Sunday). Meet your new guide and travel to the Kingdom of the Zulu’s via the lush north coast of KwaZulu-Natal. First stop is a vibrant cultural village. Thrill to the sight of Zulu dancers performing their ancient high kicking routines to the beat of drums, sample traditional Zulu beer and watch women craft clay pots and intricate bead work. After a hearty lunch, we proceed to the village of St Lucia, checking in at your hotel. Accommodation: Protea Hotel St Lucia or similar. Includes: (B), (L).

Day 9: Swaziland (Monday). The day begins with a motor launch cruise amid the breathtaking wilderness of Lake St Lucia, a World Heritage Site. Back on dry land, we drive past the traditional rural home-steads of Zululand and into the tiny Kingdom of Swaziland, a former British Protection Territory, now ruled by King MsWati III. Enjoy a visit to the Swazi Candle Factory, where waxy works of art beckon from groaning shelves. We arrive at the hotel in the late afternoon. Accommodation: Lugogo Sun or similar. Includes: (B), (L), (D).

Day 10: Kruger National Park (Tuesday). We visit the famous Ngwenya Glass Factory to see master craftsmen fashion collectible figures and functional art out of molten glass.
