Splendid South Africa & Victoria Falls

Day 1 Welcome to South Africa!

Touchdown in Cape Town International Airport where you will be met with a transfer to your hotel. The day is yours to spend at leisure, exploring the beautiful surrounding city. You could wander through the buzzing Victoria & Alfred Waterfront watching whale-spotting boats come in, grab a drink, or simply enjoy your new surroundings by lounging on the beach and relaxing after your flight.

Day 2 Cape Town

Make sure you indulge in your breakfast, because today's to-do list is encompassed by a full-day scenic tour of the Cape Peninsula. Walk along Boulders Beach, experience Chapman's Peak, find the edge at Cape Point, and more. Explore the diversity of Cape Town on this beautiful tour.

Day 3 Cape Town

Spend today sipping wine and walking in famous footsteps. Enjoy a Winelands tour as you taste wine from the Paarl Wine Region, enjoy a brief city tour of scenic Franschhoek that includes wine tasting and a photo stop at the Groot Drakenstein Prison that once held Nelson Mandela, and a tour through Stellenbosch, a university town with wine to sip. It's easy to see why Simon van der Stel decided to settle a village among these majestic mountains.

Day 4 Cape Town

Spend half the day on a beautiful City and Table Mountain Tour. Enjoy the most famous views from Table Mountain, see one of the New 7 Wonders of Nature, and enjoy a leisurely ride back down from the flat-topped mountain. Then, you get to take a scenic drive along the coast to Company Gardens, where you'll have the chance to take a walk through.

Day 5 Cape Town - Thornybush Game Reserve

Rise early to meet your transfer to the Cape Town International Airport for your flight into Hoedspruit Airport for the next part of your vacation, which is going to get a bit wild. Check in at your accommodation in the Thornybush Game Reserve to embark on safari adventures. Make sure your camera is ready, the complete set of the Big Five roam among this park.

Day 6 Thornybush Game Reserve

Enjoy safari drives twice a day and get a first hand encounter with the wild animals within the game reserve. Keep a sharp eye out for lions, elephants, rhino, leopard, and buffalo. All of these and more call the game reserve home.

Day 7 Thornybush Game Reserve

Another day of safari adventuring awaits. Multitudes of bird species wander through the game reserve, as well as wildebeest, zebra, hippo, and more. This private reserve has an excellent stock of animals, and reliable waterholes that make for an exciting animal-spotting experience.

Day 8 Thornybush Game Reserve - Johannesburg

Take your last chance for a safari game drive, have a quick breakfast and then you're off on a flight to Johannesburg. Touch down and check into your hotel. Maybe you'll want to turn in early for the adventures that await, but you could explore the nightlife of Johannesburg while you've got the chance.

Day 9 Johannesburg - Victoria Falls, Zimbabwe

Rise early for another flight to Victoria Falls Airport. Upon touchdown, check into your lodge and begin your journey through this beautiful area. You get to go on a sunset cruise on the Zambezi River, and then enjoy dinner at Makuw-Kuwa Restaurant.
