Head for SA

Women travellers from India head to South Africa


Women On Wanderlust (WOW Club), a group of women travellers from India, is heading for exotic South Africa.

The nine-day “Best of South Africa” tour starts from Mumbai on September 17.

WOW has been trying to provide a solution for women who want to travel, but don’t like the idea of travelling alone — the average group size is 12 to 20 women.

Wild and tamed, ancient and avant-garde, South Africa is a land of quaint contrasts and endless possibilities, where you can straddle two mighty oceans (Indian and Atlantic), tour one of the largest wine-producing regions in the world, and luxuriate in a boutique game lodge after scoring snapshots of the ‘Big Five’ — elephant, lion, leopard, rhino and buffalo.

The tour includes Cape Town, a cable car trip to the top of the Table Mountain, a tour of Cape Wine Country and the Cape Peninsula. Cape Wine Country is the seventh-largest wine-producing region in the world.

A tour of the world’s first Ostrich Show Farm, a visit to the Cango Caves and Wine Centre tucked away in the foothills of the Swartberg Mountains are also on the cards.

You also get to explore Knysna, on the banks of the Knysna Lagoon, a National Lake Area. A ferry trip on the Knysna Lagoon takes you to view the famous Knysna Head. Game viewing at Pilanesburg and some gaming at the casino at Sun City are also on the itinerary.

The tour costs Rs. 1,10, 000 on a twin sharing basis (single room supplement is Rs. 20,000). This price includes economy class airfare and taxes, airport transfers.

Accommodation will be in standard rooms on dinner, bed and breakfast plan.

Light lunches will be provided.

All transfers and sightseeing are on a private basis in an air conditioned vehicle.
