The Ultimate African Experience Tour 13 Days

What to Expect

With Janine’s tour, which includes some of the most popular locations in South Africa, Zimbabwe, and Botswana, you may travel through three African states in two weeks.

Before heading north for a Big 5 safari in Kruger, your trip begins in Cape Town with a view of the Atlantic Ocean. After that, take in the natural splendor of Victoria Falls before concluding your trip in the verdant Okavango Delta and raising a glass to the sunset in one of Mother Nature’s most priceless environments.
