Make the journey from Istanbul to Antalya – Majestic Turkey

We hope you’ll forgive us: this exciting 12-day tour of Turkey has a flexible definition of the phrase “road trip”. Don’t get us wrong: this overland journey across Turkey’s historical sites will take you from Istanbul in Europe to Antalya in Asia. You’ll head off-road as well, but not in the way you think. Between hiking through the Kaymaki Underground City and taking a hot-air balloon ride above Cappadocia’s surreal rock formations, you’ll never view road trips the same again.

Embark on a Garden Route road trip – Splendid South Africa

The variety of landscapes you can encounter along the Western Cape of South Africa is simply extraordinary. They’ll be on show across this 11-day extravaganza across the scenic Garden Route, starting in Cape Town with cultural experiences and an ascent up Table Mountain. You’ll kayak with penguins in Simons Town and visit the Cape of Good Hope – Africa’s southwesternmost point – before heading to the luscious wine region of Stellenbosch. After a day visiting multiple vineyards we’ll continue to the ostrich capital of the world, Oudtshoorn, and the gorgeous coastal gem of Knysna. You’ll explore the diverse flora and epic bridges of Tsitsikamma National Park before our road trip reaches its coolest destination, a luxurious safari lodge in Gondwana Game Reserve, where you’ll be spending two nights. You’ll get to go off-road up to four times during your stay, as we embark on multiple game drives in search of the Big Five.
