Exploring South Africa Tours

Cape Town, Kruger & Victoria Falls

This classical Cape Town, Kruger & Victoria Falls 9-day itinerary brings together the highlights of Southern Africa. The first 4 nights of your holiday will be spent in Cape Town, the ‘Mother City’ and a ‘must see’. You will be staying at the Ocean View House, close to one of Cape Town’s most iconic beaches and flanked by gorgeous mountains. It is easy to spend your time lounging on the beach and exploring the restaurants and bars in the area. This itinerary includes a full day trip to the Cape Winelands, as well as full day tour of the Cape Peninsula, including a visit to the local penguins in Simon’s Town. With so much to offer, your 4 night stay is sure to provide the perfect start to your Cape Town, Kruger & Victoria Falls holiday.

From Cape Town you will be taking a direct flight to Skukuza airport in Kruger, for the next part of your holiday adventure. Here you will have a road transfer through the Kruger park to MalaMala, a classical game resere, offering South Africa’s best big five game viewing. You will be spending 2 nights here which includes daily game drives with your qualified safari guide and ranger.

The last 2 nights will be spent in the Victoria Falls (Zambia), yet another of Africa’s iconic ‘must visit’ destinations.  An easy flight connection takes you directly to Victoria Falls where you will stay at Waterberry Lodge and be treated to a tour of the magnificent Falls. Your stay also includes either a picturesque sunset tour on the Zambezi River, or a village and museum tour, where you will learn about the rich culture and history of the region.

With direct flights connecting all these classical destinations, travel could not be easier! Less days travelling means you could easily add on a few more days in Botswana, transforming your Cape Town, Kruger & Victoria Falls holiday into a real southern Africa adventure!

Cape Town
Cape Town is as much about the surrounding areas as the city itself. Recommended visit time is 5 days to be able to comfortably fit in all the main sights from Cape Point, Table Mountain, V&A Waterfront and Robben Island. More More
Winelands

Hermanus
Only 2½ hours from Cape Town you will find the 'whale capital' of Hermanus that offers some of South Africa's best 'land based' whale watching. The town offers some super Blue Flag swimming beaches and a beautiful mountain setting. More
Garden Route
Stretching from Swellendam to Tsitsikamma, the Garden Route offers visitors a diverse experience ranging from rolling landscapes, semi-desert arid region of Oudtshoorn to the lush forests of the Knysna and Plettenberg Bay areas. Lovely white beaches in the Mossel Bay, Wilderness and Plettenberg Bay completes this destination as an excellent choice for all ages. More
Eastern Cape Safaris
Situated in the eastern part of South Africa, the Eastern Cape is fast becoming South Africa's hottest holiday destination. The region is malaria free, offers a host of top class "Big Five" game destinations, with the added advantage that travelling closer to the coast, you can also enjoy the "Big Six", namely whales, the silent giants of the sea. More
Durban
Durban is the gateway to the warm beaches of Natal as well as the Drakensberg and game regions of Hluhluwe. There is an international airport with numerous daily flights from Cape Town and Johannesburg. More
Hluhluwe & Battlefields
This area offers such a diversity - from the excellent big five game viewing of the Hluhluwe area with a good selection of big five reserves, heading inland you reach the Battlefields where raconteurs take you back to a by-gone era of the Zulu Wars. Nearby you have access to kilometres of isolated beaches and warm Indian Ocean waters. More
Drakensberg
The vast expanse of the Drakensberg is a must for any person who enjoys tranquil surroundings and hiking. Easily accessible from both Johannesburg and Durban and complimentary to any longer holiday in South Africa. Excellent hiking for all fitness levels. More

Mozambique
Becoming one of Africa's hottest destinations with its tropical beaches, warm waters and palm trees. Most connections between lodges within Mozambique are achieved by scheduled and charter flights as well as boat transfers, as road networks are not as developed. A great way to end off any African holiday by spending a few days relaxing on the beach and indulging in tropical spoils.
More
Madikwe & Waterberg
The ‘big five’ game regions of Madikwe Game Reserve and the Waterberg Game Reserve are increasing in popularity and giving Kruger some healthy competition. These areas are malaria free, located within a 3–4 hour drive from Johannesburg and also offer a great safari experience. More
