After breakfast, depart Cape Town for a privately guided tour of the Cape Winelands. Indeed, this short drive reveals rolling vineyards, Cape Dutch architecture, and dramatic mountain backdrops.

Visit the historic towns of Stellenbosch, Paarl, and Franschhoek. Enjoy cellar tours and wine tastings tailored to your preferences. Walk through Stellenbosch’s oak-lined streets and explore Franschhoek’s Huguenot heritage. In addition, visit the Afrikaans Language Monument in Paarl for cultural insight.

Your tour finally concludes in Franschhoek, where you check in to Franschhoek Country House. The next day is devoted to additional wine tasting, fully customized to your palate and interests. It also allows you extra time to relax and enjoy the valley.

Then continue your South Africa and Victoria Falls Tour in Greater Kruger National Park. Following your flight to Hoedspruit, you will continue by road to Simbavati River Lodge in the Timbavati Private Game Reserve.

Here, your South African safari adventure begins. Over the next two days, enjoy morning and evening game drives, guided by expert rangers. The Timbavati forms part of the Greater Kruger ecosystem and therefore boasts outstanding Big Five sightings, especially lions, leopards, elephants, rhinos, and wild dog.

Between drives, relax at the lodge with sundowners, night drives, and traditional boma dinners beneath the stars. This portion of the journey proves that the best affordable safari lodges in South Africa do not compromise on experience and service.

Then transfer by road to the legendary Sabi Sands Game Reserve. Upon arrival, check in to Notten’s Bush Camp, one of the region’s most authentic safari lodges.

Spend the next two days immersed in wildlife-rich landscapes. From your bush lodge, set out on early morning game drives, afternoon safari drives, and guided bush walks. Additionally, night drives reveal nocturnal species rarely seen during the day.

Because Sabi Sand borders Kruger National Park, wildlife moves freely, creating exceptional game viewing opportunities. Ker & Downey can also arrange cultural visits to the local Shangaan community to add depth to your South Africa and Victoria Falls tour.

After breakfast, transfer to Nelspruit Airport for your flight to Victoria Falls. Upon arrival, meet your driver and transfer to The Palm River Hotel, set along the Zambezi River.

The following morning, enjoy a private guided tour of Victoria Falls, a UNESCO World Heritage Site and one of the Natural Wonders of the World. Known locally as Mosi-oa-Tunya, “the smoke that thunders,” the falls plunge dramatically into the gorge below.

Later in the afternoon, board a sunset cruise on the Zambezi River. Watch the sky change color while spotting hippos, crocodiles, elephants, and abundant birdlife along the riverbanks.

You will eventually transfer to Victoria Falls Airport for your flight to Johannesburg. On arrival, receive VIP assistance to connect seamlessly with your international departure onward.
