9-Nights South Africa Safari: Cape Town, Kruger and Victoria Falls - Tailormade Journeys — CALL

Itinerary Details

1 Arrive Cape Town, South Africa
Cape Town is a breathtaking harbor city where old and new converge in history, architecture, cultural pursuits and the essence of its people. Warmed by the African sun, the city is dominated by the towering, flat-topped Table Mountain, set on a peninsula of rocky heights and lush valleys.


Meals:

2 Cape Town
Ascend Table Mountain’s sky-high plateau by cable car for dazzling views of the city and sea. Along with great views, Cape Town is known for its notable buildings, including Groote Kerk, South Africa’s oldest church; City Hall on the Grand Parade, Cape Town’s largest square; and the pentagonal Castle of Good Hope.


Meals:

3 Cape Town
Starting with Cape Point at the southwestern tip of the African continent, head out to explore the beaches strung beneath the Twelve Apostles Mountains before checking out bucolic Hout Bay’s bustling fishing harbor and the charming colony of endangered African penguins at Boulders Beach.


Meals:

4 Kruger National Park
Kruger’s gloriously wild reputation precedes it; this is one of the world’s finest wildlife-watching destinations, where iconic species, from African wild dogs to zebras, gather in abundance. Safari-goers spend their days watching leopards snooze in the branches or waiting patiently for an elephant herd to trundle down to the riverbed, before returning to some of the most opulent lodges in the country.


Meals:

5 Kruger National Park
Head out on thrilling game drives through this natural paradise, looking out for the Big Five (lion, leopard, elephant, rhino and Cape buffalo) before ending your day around the fire pit, trading tales beneath immense, star-laden skies as the trilling, night-time melodies of the bush recommence.


Meals:

6 Kruger National Park
On today’s game drive, keep watch for cheetahs, giraffes and spotted hyenas.


Meals:

7 Victoria Falls
The local Lozi name it the “Smoke that Thunders”: a wholly fitting epithet for Africa’s most awe-inspiring natural wonder, where the Zambezi River roars 300ft down a chasm on its zigzagging course between Zambia and Zimbabwe. The world’s greatest sheet of falling water is an epic sight, its power and beauty unrivalled, a place rich in wildlife and geological history, where ancient basalt rock is drenched beneath those famous mists, curling up from the gorge like the soul of the river itself.


Meals:

8 Victoria Falls
Set out on a privately guided walking tour of the falls, taking in the magnificent rainbows and towers of mist as the Zambezi tumbles into the chasm below, before delving into the wildlife-rich forests of Zambezi National Park on a shared game drive.

9 Depart Johannesburg
