The Travel Circle is where the journey never ends...
just like a circle, the fun keeps coming back around, connecting family, friends, memories and unforgettable journeys. Whether it’s your first international trip or your fifth, this is your chance to discover something new, in good company, with everything planned for you.
Johannesburg:
The Heartbeat of South Africa
Begin your adventure in Johannesburg, the city that never stops moving. Immerse yourself in the energy and soul of South Africa with a Soweto Tour, exploring vibrant neighborhoods rich with music, art, and legacy. Step into the iconic Mandela House, where the story of courage and change was written.
Next, see the city from every angle on a Hop-On Hop-Off Bus Tour, weaving through Johannesburg’s skyline and landmarks — from Constitution Hill to the bustling markets and museums.
Your group will then embark on a thrilling Pilanesberg Safari, where open-air trucks take you across the plains in search of Africa’s Big Five. Feel the pulse of the wild, the call of the lion, and the awe of elephants at sunset.
Conclude your Johannesburg stay with a day trip to Hartbeespoort Dam, affectionately called “Harties.” Browse local art markets, enjoy lakeside dining, and soak up the mountain beauty that makes this hidden gem a favorite weekend retreat.
South Africa Experience
From Johannesburg to Cape Town
A Journey of Connection, Culture & Celebration
Gather your friends, family, and peers for an unforgettable group journey through South Africa — where history meets adventure, and every day brings a new reason to celebrate together.
Cape Town:
Where the Ocean Meets the Sky
Next, fly south to Cape Town, a city framed by ocean waves and mountain peaks. Your visit begins with a ferry ride to Robben Island, where Nelson Mandela spent 18 years of his imprisonment — a powerful and moving reminder of resilience and hope. Return to the mainland for a scenic ascent up Table Mountain by cable car. From the top, take in panoramic views of the city, ocean, and Robben Island in the distance — a perfect group photo moment that captures the beauty of unity and freedom.
As the sun dips, the excitement rises during your exclusive Travel Circle Color-Themed Cruise Party, where everyone dresses in vibrant hues representing fun, friendship, and celebration. Dance, laugh, and toast to the journey that brought you all together.
Your South African adventure ends with a lavish farewell dinner at a surprise location — a culinary masterpiece and the perfect finale to a trip defined by connection, culture, and shared joy. This isn’t just a trip — it’s a story you’ll tell for a lifetime. Experience South Africa together. Celebrate together. Remember it forever.
