WHAT WE’RE DOING
I’ve never been more excited for an Atlas trip than I am for this trip to South Africa! We’ll be spending a week visiting the most iconic regions that the country is known for. We’ll spend two nights together in Cape Town before venturing to the Winelands for two more nights. Finally, we’ll end in Sabi Sands for three nights to end the trip with an incredible safari!
This particular trip is unique to any Atlas trip we’ve ever done before. While there will be pockets of free time throughout the week, most activities & meals are already planned for you (with a guide) and are included in the ticket price. We realize that South Africa is often viewed as a “once in a lifetime trip” and that it’s a destination many aren’t comfortable navigating on their own. Because of this, we’ve included much more into the ticket price. We’ve also gone above & beyond to ensure the partners we’re working with & properties where we’re staying are optimal.
For more details on our itinerary, see the pricing and inclusions list below.

WHO IS THIS TRIP FOR?
Photo by ALLAN ZEPEDA PHOTOGRAPHY
Atlas Adventures are built around a shared set of values that are rooted in kindness. We believe in prioritizing connection (whether with locals or fellow travelers), keeping an open mind through all experiences, and being adaptable with all that travel may bring. If the description below sounds like you, we want you to join us!:
You are extremely flexible, open minded, easy-going and always up for a range of experiences.
You’re a positive person who looks for the best in all circumstances.
You enjoy meeting new people and are keen to make friends on this trip.
You desire to be a better traveler: respecting other people, other cultures + the planet along the way.
UNIQUE CONSIDERATIONS FOR THIS TRIP TO SOUTH AFRICA
You want to be shown the way. While our trips typically give you plenty of time to explore on your own, South Africa is a destination that’s better enjoyed with a local guide leading the way when you’re unfamiliar. Travelers are required to follow instructions from our guides at all times to ensure safety.
You respect wildlife. While we all dream of having encounters with magnificent animals like lions, elephants & others, we must respect that these viewings are a privilege. Travelers are required to follow instructions of our guides at all times and agree to always prioritize the well-being of the wildlife around us. No exceptions.
You don’t mind riding in a vehicle for hours at a time: Whether being transported around Cape Town & the Winelands, or going for game drives in Sabi Sands… we will be spending a significant amount of time in various vehicles every day on this trip. Travelers need to be comfortable with this & should reconsider if they are prone to being carsick.
You’re comfortable riding in small light aircrafts: In addition to large, commercial aircrafts, we will also be taking a few small light aircrafts to transport us to & from the bush. Travelers should be comfortable with this transportation method.
You can pack in a duffle bag. Any luggage with a hard shell, frame or wheels is not permitted on safaris, so travelers will need to be able to pack for this entire trip in duffle bag (no larger than 16 x 12x 24 inches). Please note that for the last 3 days of this trip while on safari, laundry services are complimentary - so you can re-wear clothes & save space!
The Atlas Adventures standard cancellation policy can be viewed HERE. Travelers are required to purchase additional travel insurance (which we can help you navigate!)
