Welcome to Victoria Falls! On arrival, you will be welcomed and transferred the short distance to your hotel. Known locally as Mosi-oa-Tunya (“The Smoke That Thunders”), magnificent Victoria Falls is a UNESCO World Heritage Site, situated on the mighty Zambezi River. This afternoon, sit back and enjoy a relaxing sundowners cruise, savouring your first African sunset.

After a good night’s rest and a hearty breakfast, join a walking tour this morning of the mighty Victoria Falls, one of the Seven Wonders of the World. Walking through the magnificent rain “spray” forest is one of the most fun and dramatic ways to experience the falls – however bring a rain jacket as you will get wet!

In the afternoon, take to the skies for an unforgettable heli flip which provides a completely different panoramic perspective to the sheer vastness of this natural wonder. This evening, enjoy a night of drums and dancing with an authentic African Boma dinner.

After two glorious days in Victoria Falls it is time to head to the Mother City! After a 2.5 hour flight, on arrival in Cape Town you will be collected and transferred to your comfortable hotel.

No doubt one of Africa’s best destinations, Cape Town is framed by majestic Table Mountain and surrounded by the blue waters of the Indian and Atlantic Oceans. This evening, enjoy a stroll around the V&A Waterfront and soak up the buzzing atmosphere as you dine with a harbourside view.

This morning join a half day private city tour which includes a visit to pretty Company Gardens, the South African Museum and Castle of Good Hope – Cape Town’s oldest surviving colonial building, dating from the 1600s.

The highlight of the tour will inevitably be ascending iconic Table Mountain by cable car, where you will be afforded panoramic views of the city, beaches and Robben Island beyond. This evening, perhaps visit nearby Camps Bay for an oceanside dinner and drinks.

Today, rise early for a full day exploring the Cape Peninsula and Cape Point on a privately guided tour. As you pass alongside some of Cape Town’s most picturesque and affluent waterside suburbs, keep your camera handy for dramatic shots of the Twelve Apostles mountain range and azure Atlantic Ocean. Continue onto Chapmans Peak Drive, one of the world’s most spectacular coastal drives, towards the Cape of Good Hope Nature Reserve and Cape Point where you will have time to explore.

On your return to Cape Town, visit the famous Boulders Beach penguin colony and stroll around Kirstenbosch, one of South Africa’s most impressive botanical gardens.

Enjoy a final leisurely breakfast before being collected by your driver for the short 1 hour drive inland to the jewel of the Cape Winelands: Franschhoek. Nestled in a picturesque valley surrounded by mountains, tranquil Franschhoek boasts a charming village centre lined with cafes, restaurants and historic Cape Dutch buildings dating from 17th and 18th Centuries.

This afternoon you’re free to explore on foot and taking your pick of any number of award-winning restaurants which are situated in the valley.

One of the most popular ways to explore the plethora of wine farms surrounding Franschhoek is via the iconic Wine Tram – a fun ‘hop on hop off’ trolley bus. With various routes, the tram allows you to easily combine various winelands activities including wine and bubbly tastings, cellar tours, art tours, picnics, vineyard strolls and relaxed lunches under the shady tree canopy – without the need to drive.

Your time in Franschhoek is all about relaxation, so sit back on the tram today, enjoy the magnificent views and indulge in some of the South Africa’s most renowned epicurian delights.

After seven magnificent days in the Western Cape, it’s time to fly north to Kruger – South Africa’s largest and most renowned game reserve. On arrival you will be welcomed and transferred to your lodge, where you will have time to settle in before your first game drive in the late afternoon.

Greater Kruger National Park, which now also encompasses many of the adjacent private game reserves with which it shares a fenceless border, is one of the world’s most pristine wilderness sanctuaries. Opened in 1926 and home to over 80 mammal species and more than 360 types of birdlife, what makes Kruger so popular is the ease with which you can enjoy up close and personal encounters, while staying in some of Africa’s most warm and welcoming lodges.

Today, enjoy both early morning and evening game drives in 4×4 safari vehicles, accompanied by experienced field guides and trackers, in search of the Big 5 and more (lion, leopard, elephant, buffalo and rhino).

Rise early for a morning game drive and discover Kruger at its best: herds of meandering elephants slowly chewing on mopane leaves, prides of lions sweeping the horizon for unsuspecting antelope or even a lazy leopard snoozing on a tree branch overhead. Savour a hot chocolate as you watch the sun come up, then return to the lodge for a delicious cooked breakfast. As the heat of the day hits, cool off in the pool or take a well earned nap in your room before the afternoon’s activities begin.

On your second game drive of the day, keep a look out for some of the park’s other popular mammals, such as majestic kudu, zebra, playful warthogs and gentle giraffes. This evening, enjoy an alfresco boma dinner close to the roaring fire, as you listen to your guide regale incredible tales from their years in the bush.

On your final full day, perhaps enjoy a lie in and take your time to enjoy breakfast overlooking the ever changing vistas of the African bush. Many lodges have resident monkeys and antelope, which make for fun mealtimes! As you embark on your final afternoon game drive, your guide will make a point to search for any wildlife that have proven elusive thus far, before stopping for sundowners at a scenic lookout point.

As you return back to camp, enjoy dinner under the stars one final time as you reflect on your incredible time in Kruger.

Time permitting, there may be time for one final game activity before you say goodbye to South Africa, and the amazing staff at the lodge. After check out, transfer back to the airport for your onward flight.
