I am a single retired man looking for a bus tour anywhere in Southern Africa from Johannesburg. — Basil Ritson

 

There are a number of interesting tours from Johannesburg, mainly taking in the Kruger Park and other natural attractions. Viator Tours offers three- and four-day visits to the park and Mpumalanga’s other scenic natural attractions, travelling by luxury coach. Prices start at around R7000 per person. Another popular package is a three-day tour to Victoria Falls with return flights from Johannesburg and two nights’ accommodation. You get a guided tour of the falls and see some great wildlife along the Zambezi River. The tours are priced from R12000.

Finally, there is a five-day tour to the Victoria Falls and Chobe National Park. After flying to the falls, you explore Mosi-oa-Tunya National Park’s lush rainforest trails. Enjoy a river cruise and explore the game reserve. Tour prices start at R21000 plus a $310 departure tax (viator.com).

If you want to see a bigger slice of South Africa, you could opt for a 15-night trip from Johannesburg to Cape Town with Afrizim Tours.
