It’s one thing for us to tell you about a new tour; it’s another to see it come to life in the second-best way possible: on TV! (First is travelling there, of course.) Channel 9 showcases MW Tours’ new Journey to South Africa! If the trailer is anything to go by, we’d say you’ll be ready now to book your place on tour!
While media and travel presenter, David Whitehill, was the star on the screen, MW’s MD, Navy Wang, was the background star. Wang brought MW Tours to Australia in 2010, so he knows a thing or two about impressing passengers, from Aussie every day travellers to Aussie celebs.
Wang led travel TV legend David Whitehill around the equally legendary South Africa. Whitehill’s on-screen trip matches step-for-step MW Tours’ new Journey to South Africa tour, making it an easy sell for inspired viewers to book with their preferred agent.
Global travel experts
Family-owned MW Tours guide travellers around the world with their small group journeys, tailor-made trips, private tours, and more. Designed in collaboration, Whitehill, Wang and the South African Tourism team created an idyllic 10-day Journey to South Africa. It’s the perfect complement to MW Tours’ 10-country-strong Africa portfolio.
While you may think you know MW Tours as Asia experts, this top-tier opportunity with Channel 9 proves they commit to quality travel experiences at every global destination they visit.
With a brand focus on delivering great value and exceptional customer service-led trips, every journey with MW Tours is one where every passenger feels valued. This, of course, includes the new Journey to South Africa.
Journey to South Africa highlights
With undeniable scenic wonders, a diverse and exciting culture, and epic attractions (the Big 5!), it’s no wonder David Whitehill chose South Africa to film his latest episode.
We had a hard time choosing, but here are our top 4 Journey to South Africa highlights:
4) Cape Peninsula
This full-day excursion to the stunning Cape Peninsula includes the Twelve Apostles coastline, a boat trip to Duiker Island to see cape fur seals, and witnessing the totally adorable penguin colony at Boulders Beach.
3) Soweto
Discover Johannesburg’s history on the inspiring Freedom Walk in Soweto, touring sites that played their part in South Africa’s liberation. As you explore South Africa’s largest township, you’ll also have time to shop at a local street market.
2) Franschhoek
Can you really say you’ve been to South Africa if you haven’t seen a winery? Well, yes, but why skip the picturesque scenery and a chance to sample award-winning wine? A fab day around the Franschhoek Valley awaits aboard the easy-as Wine Tram.
1) Karongwe Private Game Reserve
Three days spent seeking the Big 5 sounds like absolute heaven to us! Along with lions, leopards, buffalo, elephants, and rhinos, the Karongwe Private Game Reserve is also home to cheetahs, giraffes, hyenas, and more. Safaris, sundowners, campfire hangs, and a million-star view made this a trip highlight for David Whitehill – and most likely will for you, too!
