South Africa and Victoria Falls Escapade: Victoria Falls, Cape Town & Pilanesberg National Park

Duration
11 Days
Prices From:
US$ 3,499

FIRST-CLASS | TAILOR-MADE: Combine South Africa’s most attractive city with a game safari and a visit to Victoria Falls on one great African vacation. Start in Zimbabwe, where you’ll witness the majesty of Victoria Falls. Onward to Cape Town to tour the city and enjoy some wine tastings. Cap the trip off with a safari in Pilanesberg National Park.


This 11-day African vacation showcases the natural wonders of Victoria Falls, the Cape Peninsula, and Pilanesberg National Park. It includes first-class accommodation and shared tours.

Your trip to Zimbabwe begins in Victoria Falls, where you'll see the mighty wonder that is Victoria Falls, The Smoke That Thunders. A nature tour will showcase the falls from the Zimbabwean side, as well as the many other offshoots and falls that sometimes get missed. You’ll also cruise the Zambezi River for incredible views of wildlife and the setting sun. After another day at leisure in Victoria Falls, you’ll fly south to Cape Town to continue your trip to Africa.

Start the South African leg of your vacation in Cape Town, one of the most colorful and diverse cities on the planet. A city tour introduces you to the vibrant culture and gorgeous natural environment that defines the city, from the brightly painted homes of Bo-Kaap to the posh restaurants and shops on the V&A Waterfront to the slopes of mighty Table Mountain, which overlooks the city. A Cape tour the next day showcases the natural beauty that lies on the city’s doorstep, including famous Chapman’s Peak Drive and Boulder’s Beach, where you’ll spot African penguins waddling around the rocky sands. Cap off your time on the cape with a day of wine tastings in the gorgeous towns of Franschhoek and Stellenbosch.

Continue your trip to South Africa by flying to Johannesburg and connecting to Pilanesberg National Park, a pristine stretch of bush in the country’s north. Based out of a deluxe safari game lodge, you’ll spend two full days on safari game drives to spot the Big Five, as well as other remarkable animals that call South Africa home.

At the end of your stay, connect back to the airport in Johannesburg for onward travels.
