The second Test will be staged in Johannesburg from January 3-7, with the third in Cape Town from January 11-15 in a revised itinerary after India asked to arrive a week later than originally planned.
The teams will also contest a three-match One-Day International Series between January 19-23, with the first two games played in Paarl and the third in Cape Town.
The Test series will form part of the new cycle of the World Test Championship, while the ODIs will count towards the Super League, the qualification tournament for the 2023 World Cup.
A revised schedule, which has done away with four T20 internationals that had originally been pencilled in, was agreed over the weekend after India expressed reservations about touring due to the discovery of the Omicron COVID-19 variant in South Africa.
