13-Day Cape Town to Victoria Falls Safari

🛏 Stay: Kanonkop Guest House (Luxury Room) · Bed & Breakfast

✈️ Arrival in George · Pick up rental car · Drive to the Garden Route (2–3 hours)

Your Cape Town to Victoria Falls safari begins on the Garden Route, whose range of landscapes, vegetation, wildlife and outdoor activities is breathtaking. Beaches, lakes, mountains and rivers offer endless leisure and adventure: hike in stunning mountain or coastal scenery, relax on white sandy beaches and canoe on beautiful lagoons.

Set largely on a spur of high ground jutting into the bay, Plettenberg Bay offers wonderful views of long sheltered beaches, inland lagoons and the surrounding mountains. Knysna is a natural paradise of lush indigenous forests, tranquil lakes and golden beaches on the banks of a breathtakingly pretty lagoon, now a protected marine reserve within the Garden Route National Park area.

🛏 Stay: 2Inn1 Kensington (Standard Room) · Bed & Breakfast

🚗 Drive to Cape Town (4–5 hours)

With its majestic Table Mountain backdrop, Cape Town is one of the most beautiful cities in the world, a unique mix of vibrant culture, beautiful beaches, rich history, world-class shopping and friendly locals. Complementing the mountain’s natural beauty is Cape Town’s eye-catching way with design and colour in everything.

Four nights and your own rental car give you time to explore at your own pace, including the Winelands, before the safari half of your Cape Town to Victoria Falls safari begins.

🛏 Stay: Pom Pom Camp (Classic Tent) · Full Board

✈️ Drive to the airport (30–40 minutes) · Drop off rental car · Flight to Maun (2 hours) · Flight to the Okavango Delta (1 hour)

The Okavango Delta is a unique wetland in the middle of the Kalahari Desert and one of the largest inland deltas on earth. Wildlife is present all year round, and in the dry season large numbers of animals come into the delta in search of water.

This Botswana safari offers more diverse activities than almost anywhere else in Africa, on land and water, from game drives to a traditional mokoro safari through the channels.

Included: Breakfast, lunch, dinner, drinks (except premium wines and spirits) and laundry service

Activities: Day and night game drives, guided bush walks, and boat or mokoro safaris (depending on water levels)

🛏 Stay: Waterberry Lodge (Standard Room) · Full Board

✈️ Transfer to the airstrip · Flight to Kasane (1 hour) · Road transfer to Victoria Falls (1–2 hours)

Your Cape Town to Victoria Falls safari ends at one of the Seven Natural Wonders of the World. Columns of spray can be seen from miles away as the falls plunge across a width of nearly two kilometres into a gorge over 100 metres deep. The wide basalt cliff transforms the Zambezi from a wide, placid river into a ferocious torrent cutting through a series of dramatic gorges.

The falls, the bridge, the lookout tree and a path along the edge of the forest offer unparalleled panoramic views. Activities range from helicopter rides and bungee jumping to white-water rafting and gentle boat cruises on the Zambezi.

Included: Breakfast, lunch, dinner, drinks (except premium wines and spirits), laundry service and one activity per day (tour of the Falls, sunset or daytime cruise, fishing, island picnics, birding or guided walks)
