South Africa is one of those destinations that dreams are made of: surreal mountain landscapes and sublime seascapes, world-class wildlife safari, luxurious jungle lodges, cultural vivacity and history of the people, cosmopolitan cities and isolated Zulu and Shangaan villages, excellent South African wines and cuisine. With an immensely varied terrain and a rich natural diversity, South Africa offers a wide range of experiences and is a delight for the senses. This tour will become a highlight of your life.

During our South African adventure, you will spend 5 days in a luxury designer hotel on the Victoria & Alfred Waterfront in Cape Town, exploring the vibrant city of Cape Town and the magnificent area that surrounds it. You will explore the Cape of Good Hope, where the Atlantic and Indian oceans meet, walk on the Boulder Beach among the colonies of African penguins, take the cable car to Table Mountain and hike to beautiful vistas overlooking the city. You will also tour the South African Winelands with their renowned wineries, see the Kirstenbosch Botanic Gardens to walk on carpets of exotic flowers, stroll in quaint fishing villages and towns with impressive Cape Dutch architecture.

Afterwards, you'll spend a day at the Hippo Hollows Country Estate by the Blyde River Canyon, one of Africa's most dramatic natural formations. You'll get a chance to hike to breathtaking vistas overlooking the canyon, including the Wonder View, the God's View and the Three Rondavels.

The most memorable part of the tour will be the 5 days spent at a safari at the luxurious Djuma Vuyatela Private Game Reserve, part of the Sabi Sands and the Kruger National Park ecosystem. Here, you'll experience the true magic of Africa: enjoy two daily game drives (safari) to view the Big Five (Lion, Leopard, Elephant, Buffalo and Rhino), bush walks and visiting local villages and learning about the Tsongas people who once lived on this land alongside the animals.

The Victoria Falls or Mosi-oa-Tunya (the Smoke that Thunders) is located on the Zambezi River between Zambia and Zimbabwe. The falls are approximately one mile wide and 420 feet high. They are considered a remarkable spectacle because of the peculiar narrow slot-like chasm into which the water falls, so one can view the falls face-on. David Livingstone, a Scottish explorer, visited the falls in 1855 and renamed them after Queen Victoria, though they were known locally as Mosi-oa-Tunya. Livingstone was so moved by what he saw that he wrote: "Scenes so lovely must have been gazed upon by angels in their flight". The Victoria Falls is the largest single sheet of water in the world, a UNESCO World Heritage Site and one of the Seven Natural Wonders of the World.
