This trio of destinations combines wildlife, history, urban delights and nature, making it a perfect itinerary for travelers seeking Southern Africa’s best experiences.

A sunset cruise to see hippo and elephant wallowing in the Zambezi River makes for a thrilling introduction to your journey.

The Cape Winelands offer world-class wine-tasting, while the Cape of Good Hope provides dramatic coastal scenery and diverse wildlife. Visit Robben Island for apartheid historical insights, and relax at the stunning beaches of Clifton and Camps Bay. Cape Town boasts award-winning restaurants - a foodies paradise. 

Finally, experience an authentic safari in greater Kruger National Park, one of Africa’s premier wildlife reserves. IKruger is home to the Big Five (lion, elephant, buffalo, leopard, and rhino). Game drives, guided bush walks, and luxurious lodges ensure a memorable wilderness experience.
