Itinerary
Day 1: Arrive in Cape Town
Our adventure begins in one of the most beautiful cities on Earth. Drop your bags at the hotel and head out to explore the buzzing food markets, golden beaches, colourful street art, and dramatic mountain backdrop. Tonight, get to know your group over dinner and drinks.
Day 2: Table Mountain
Start today with a cable car ride up Table Mountain for views that will take your breath away, before a tour of the city's highlights, including Bo-Kaap and the scenic V&A Waterfront. This afternoon, join an optional township tour before a night of food and drinks at a Cape Town cooking class.
Day 3: Penguins & Vineyards
Today's yours to explore Cape Town at your own pace. Take an optional tour of Cape Peninsula to see the city's best bits, including Boulders Beach, home to the local tribe of African penguins! Then there's no better way to spend the afternoon than with a wine tasting at Cape Point Vineyards.
Day 4: Kruger National Park
Take a flight to Johannesburg, and travel to Kruger. One of the greatest wildlife viewing arenas in the world, the park is home to the Big Five and many other species. There's nowhere better to safari. Arrive in time for an unforgettable sunset game drive before a night in our riverside safari camp.
Day 5: Safari & Anti-Poaching
Rise with the sun for an optional morning game drive. Smell the fresh bush air, take in the landscape, and see nocturnal predators coming in from their hunt. Lunch at a local restaurant before meeting the rangers on an anti-poaching experience. Later, there's an optional sunset game drive as well.
Day 6: Sunrise Safari
Look for any animals you missed yesterday on a sunrise safari, including giraffes, lions, and cheetahs. Make an optional stop at a traditional local village to get a taste of rural life, before heading to lively Johannesburg.
Day 7: Victoria Falls
Fly to Victoria Falls where we'll waste no time getting out there with one of the Seven Natural Wonders. Marvel at the power of the sheer cascade of water, and the misty curtain rising like smoke from its base. An optional sunset cruise on the Zambezi makes the perfect end to the day.
Day 8: Adventure Activities
Victoria Falls is big on adventure sports, and we've got lots for you to choose from today. Grab a paddle and hit some of the best white-water rapids in the world, experience the adrenaline of a bungee or swing from Victoria Falls Bridge, or fly through a scenic gorge on a zip line.
Day 9: Chobe National Park
See the falls from above this morning with an optional helicopter flight or take a walking safari through Zambezi's National Park. Then travel to Chobe, where we'll take a game drive along the banks of the river, before staying in the heart of the wilderness in a safari camp or lodge.
Day 10: Chobe Game Drive
Watch the sun rise over the African bush before a morning game drive. See herds of elephants move gracefully across the plains, hippos basking in the river, and lions prowling in search of their next meal. Spend the rest of the day by the pool or take an optional wildlife cruise on the Chobe River.
Day 11: Trip End
Enjoy a last breakfast with the group and reminisce about the amazing experience you've shared, before journeying to Kasane, Botswana, or back to Victoria Falls, Zimbabwe and making your way home. Better get planning the next trip!
