Ultimate Kalahari & Lower Zambezi Safari

Duration
13 Days
Prices From:
US$ 14,006

DELUXE | PRIVATE-GUIDED: Start with Cape Town’s most iconic luxury hotel - celebrating art and design. Next, stay in South Africa's largest private game reserve where your game lodge blends comfort seamlessly with the stunning landscape. Lastly, head to the banks of the Zambezi River, where a luxury safari camp offers the utmost comfort amidst the wild 'real Africa' that is Zambia.


This 13 day deluxe, private guided adventure is a once in a lifetime safari that combines the best of Cape Town with the legendary Kalahari Desert and the Zambezi River. The grasslands of the Kalahari offer some of Africa’s best game viewing. You will then head to Zambia to explore the wildlife of the Zambezi River, while staying in a luxurious tented camp. 

After your arrival in South Africa and starting in Cape Town, explore and experience the best of this large city with a stunning natural setting at the base of Table Mountain. After settling into your deluxe hotel, a private guided tour of the city takes in highlights such as opulent Camps Bay, City Hall and the vibrant Malay Quarter. 

The next day you can truly appreciate the beauty of Cape Town, with a side of adrenaline. Start your day with an exciting helicopter ride that hugs the coast towards Houts Bay and then return to the city with a chauffeured ride on a Harley Davidson! Your final day around Cape Town heads to the Stellenbosch area for a private 4X4 tour of some of South Africa’s best vineyards.

Now for a change of scene, fly to your luxury game lodge in the Kalahari. This vast savannah is home to lions, cheetahs and leopards, as well as their prey such as antelope and wildebeest. You will also see giraffes, zebras and several species of unique bird life. Over your three day stay, you will have the opportunity to participate in daily game drives, and even a helicopter safari if you choose. 

After the Kalahari, it’s off to Zambia to explore the marvels of the Zambezi. A different environment means you will see some new wildlife such as hippos and river crocodiles. Your experienced guides will be able to point out all the birds and wildlife as you canoe, boat or hike around this remote and beautiful area. Your luxury tented camp brings “glamping” to a new level and you will relax in style every night after fabulous cuisine but don’t forget to wake up early and watch the spectacle of all the wildlife surrounding you at sunrise. 

After three days you will be returned to Zambia’s capital, Lusaka, for your onward travels.

Half Day Private Authentic Cape Town City Tour

This morning you will be picked up from your hotel for a half-day Cape Town City tour. No visit to Cape Town is complete without a tour of the "Mother City". Sense the depth of history as you drive past Parliament Buildings, City Hall and the Slave Lodge before stopping for a short visit of the Castle of Good Hope (optional), originally built as a maritime replenishment station and now the oldest surviving colonial building in South Africa! Alternatively, we walk around the Grand Parade square which has its own historical significance. We hear of the brief history of District Six en-route to a visit at the Company Gardens where we walk through the landscaped gardens. Learn more about the history of the Bo-Kaap and its people as we move up the cobblestoned hills to the Malay Quarter, and marvel at the ice-cream colours of the quaint Bo-Kaap homes. Trace the moves of a professional diamond cutter as he creates every girl's dream stone with a visit to a diamond cutting factory. After learning more about the history of diamonds and gold in South Africa, we drive past the V&A Waterfront, Cape Town Stadium, Sea Point, Clifton and Camps Bay as we make our way to Table Mountain where you have the option of either admiring the views from the lower cable station or purchasing a ticket (for own account) to reach the summit. After delighting in this photo opportunity, return to the hotel or stay on top of the mountain and find your own way back to your hotel.

Day 3

Heli-Harley Experience

Bringing the excitement of flight and the thrill of riding a motorbike together is one of the most amazing experience in Cape Town. The combination of a helicopter your and then riding through the same scenery just flown over on the back of a Harley Davidson is difficult to explain and define in words. As if leaving Cape Town at the perfect time of the day to make this adventure special, then flying out to sea along the magnificent Atlantic shoreline down to Hout Bay is not enough this adventure pushes the limits of enjoyment. From sleepy Hout Bay the flight heads inland toward Groot Constantia and Simons Restaurant for a splendid lunch. After a relaxed lunch, the helicopter is ditched in favor of a chauffeur driven Harley Davidson for a wind in your hair rid back to base.
