10-Day Best-Priced Cape Town, Kruger & Vic Falls

Overview
Embark on 10 unforgettable days exploring some of Southern Africa’s most iconic destinations. Begin your journey in Cape Town, one of the world’s top-rated cities, renowned for its stunning natural beauty. Nestled between two oceans and dominated by Table Mountain—one of the Seven Natural Wonders of the World—Cape Town is a true visual masterpiece.

You’ll have time to experience the city’s rich culture in its bustling centre, the luxurious V&A Waterfront, and along pristine beaches like Clifton, Camps Bay, and the famous Boulders Beach, home to a thriving colony of endangered African penguins. Cape Town’s charm extends beyond the city itself, with scenic drives leading to iconic sights such as Cape Point Nature Reserve, the breathtaking Cape Winelands, and Hermanus, the world’s premier whale-watching destination from July to November.

Next, head to a private game reserve bordering the famed Kruger National Park. Sabi Sands offers an exclusive Big 5 safari experience in an unspoiled wilderness where sightings of lions, leopards, elephants, rhinos, and buffalo are a daily occurrence. As a private reserve, it ensures an intimate and uncrowded game-viewing experience.

Your journey culminates at the awe-inspiring Victoria Falls, the largest curtain of falling water on Earth. Take a scenic flight for a bird’s-eye view of this majestic waterfall and enjoy romantic boat cruises on the Zambezi River. For the more adventurous, activities like micro-lighting, bungee jumping, and white-water rafting await, cementing Victoria Falls’ reputation as the ‘Adrenalin Capital of Africa’. The peak flood season, from February to July, showcases the waterfall in its full, thunderous glory—a truly unforgettable spectacle.
