4 the Weekend

  • Leave nothing but footprints, they say, take nothing but photographs and memories. A weekend in the Kruger National Park will show you why South Africans are so proud of this national park. The game viewing here is some of Africa’s best. And from rustic bush camps to luxury lodges, self-catering chalets to catered camps, the park has plenty of accommodation and excellent facilities for visitors. A definite must.


  • If adventure is your game, the town of Graskop promises a weekend to be remembered – adrenaline junkies can choose from daredevil slalom canoeing and bungee jumping, to river rafting and gorge-swinging!


  • Fancy cold beer, spicy prawns and an ocean breeze? Use your free weekend to pop across the border to neighbouring Maputo, hip-swaying capital of Mozambique. You can spend your time diving & snorkeling, visiting the islands or raving it up in the city famed for its nightlife and music.


  • Fancy something more laid back? Famed for its mountain scenery and trout fishing, the little village of Dullstroom makes for a wonderful weekend breakaway. Think mountain hideouts, silver dams and cozy fire lit evenings. The landscape around here is South Africa's premier fly-fishing mecca, hosts some of the sub-continent's rarest birds, offers some of the best rock climbing, and has spectacular wild flower displays. Dullstroom has excellent restaurants that generally offer trout on the menu, and the village has tempting antiques & collectibles shops and arts & crafts.

Head back to the bright lights, and enjoy a weekend filled with the best that Johannesburg has on offer.
