One of the seven natural wonders of the world, Victoria Falls is simply breath-taking. During the rainy season, they form the largest curtain of falling water in the world – the sight is quite spectacular! Most travellers agree that they are also the most beautiful Falls in the world. Surrounded by lush rain forest and teeming wildlife, this bucket list destination combines perfectly with a visit to the Kruger National Park and the wonderful city of Cape Town to give you a fabulous highlights tour in only 10 days.
Your Journey
Day 1 - 4
4 NightsOn arrival into Cape Town you will be met and transferred to to your guesthouse or hotel for check in - you can let us know your budget and we'll find you the perfect accommodation that suits it - for a stay of 4 nights in the vibrant 'Mother City'.
We are Cape Town locals and we know all the best spots. From classic attractions like a trip up Table Mountain on the aerial cableway and soaking up the sun on Camps Bay beach to secret restaurants and picnic spots that locals favour, we can create a to-do list that covers every aspect of this vibrant city.
Breakfast
There is a very good Hop on Hop off City Sightseeing Bus, which takes you to the various sites around Cape Town and Peninsula.
Try to take a trip up Table Mountain on your first clear day as quite often the cloud cover (table cloth) sets in spoiling the views. Book online on the day to avoid the ticket office queues.
You might like to take a trip out to Cape Point along the Peninsula. Take in the quaint fishing village of Hout Bay, the magnificent coastal Chapman's Peak Drive and beaches of Noordhoek and Kommetjie to Cape Point. Return on the Indian Atlantic Coast via Simonstown, Fish Hoek and Boulders Beach with its penguin colony. (Full Day)
Alternatively you may wish to relax at your hotel or explore the Victoria & Alfred Waterfront complex with its many shops, museums and restaurants.
The ferry to Robben Island departs from the Waterfront daily, however as this is weather dependent we would recommend booking online so if the crossing is cancelled it can be rescheduled.

Revel in the untamed beauty of the bush on open 4x4 game drive vehicles with your qualified ranger and tracker, or take a bush walk where you can follow the spoor of game and find yourself just a few feet from some of the most majestic animals in the world.
All meals, local brand drinks and limited laundry.
Activities: Game drives and walking safari. Maximum 6 guests per vehicle.

Game drives are generally conducted in open safari vehicles and are early morning and afternoon/evening (dawn & dusk) as this is when it is cooler, the animals are more active and the predators are hunting for prey.
