(12 Days - Departs Daily on a Private Basis) Cape Town, Victoria Falls, Safari (Okavango Delta Safari & Sabi Sands)
Experience the best of South Africa, Zambia and Botswana on this comprehensive tour that combines cultural touring, stunning landscapes and luxury safaris.
Begin in Cape Town, South Africa’s most beautiful city, and stay at one of the city’s most exclusive luxury hotels. Enjoy comprehensive private touring with one of Cape Town’s most knowledgeable guides, and explore the city’s history, stunning scenery, and most interesting neighborhoods. Take a scenic cable car ride to the top of Table Mountain and experience local markets, architecture and the city’s incredible food and wine scene. Depending on your interests, visit small museums and noted galleries and shops or opt to visit other highlights such as Two Oceans Aquarium, the Kirstenbosch Botanical Garden, Robben Island or a local township.
If desired, take a private scenic coastal drive to the Cape Peninsula and visit the Cape of Good Hope, Boulders Beach and seaside towns or spend a day in the Cape Winelands region, including the charming towns of Stellenbosch and Franschhoek. Enjoy a gourmet lunch, personalized wine tastings at South Africa’s best vineyards, and stops at high-quality artisan boutiques, art galleries and small museums. A visit to a cheetah rescue project can also be arranged, if desired.
Next, fly to Livingstone, Zambia for two days at Victoria Falls, one of the Seven Natural Wonders of the World. Enjoy a private sundowner cruise, a private walking tour of the falls, and other
activities tailored to your interests. Options include a scenic helicopter ride
over the falls, kayaking on the Zambezi River, an elephant-back safari, or a
visit to a Mukuni village.
Continue to Botswana’s Okavango Delta, the world’s largest inland delta and a bird lover’s paradise. The region’s network of waterways is home to a wide variety of wildlife, including a large population of elephant, buffalo and red lechwe (antelope). Experience a stay at a luxury “water camp” safari lodge and enjoy daily outings by mokoro (traditional dug-out canoe) and motor boat rides along the “hippo highways.” Opt for a private scenic helicopter excursion for an amazing aerial view of the delta.
Fly by private charter flight to South Africa and spend the next three days on an unforgettable luxury safari in Sabi Sands, a private game reserve located next to Kruger National Park. This area is renowned for its diverse wildlife—including the Big Five—and is particularly known for leopard sightings. Stay at an ultra-luxurious safari lodge and enjoy morning and afternoon game drives and guided bush walks during your stay. If desired, a visit to a local community can be arranged. There will also be time to indulge in spa treatments and enjoy elaborate gourmet meals paired with South Africa’s best wines.
