Great Safaris has designed a new educational itinerary, Madiba’s Journey: In Nelson Mandela’s Footprints, highlighting South Africa’s historical sites of the great leader’s life.

Great Safaris has crafted an 11-day journey through South Africa associated with focusing attention on the fascinating history of Nelson Mandela, fondly known as “Madiba”.  This tour was specifically developed to take travelers through South Africa and visit key areas and attractions that played a critical role in the struggle for equal rights and the birth of the democratic, modern South Africa.

Highlights will include visits to Soweto, Vilakazi Street, Nelson Mandela House Museum, Kliptown, Apartheid Museum, Constitution Hill and Lilies Leaf. Travelers continue the journey through history in Cape Town, where the tour will focus on key areas such as Robben Island, Parliament, City Hall & Grand Parade. Great Safaris’ guests can also take in the natural beauty of this cosmopolitan city with a tour up the picturesque Table Mountain.

Travelers will leave with an enriched knowledge of Nelson Mandela. After an educational tour through the country, the itinerary wraps up with a relaxing 4-day visit to the Greater Kruger National Park for an authentic South African safari. Land costs start at $3,495 per person based on double occupancy with options to upgrade.
