✈️ UK – Cape Town (4 nights): You’ll first fly from the UK to Cape Town, where you’ll have 4 nights to explore this vibrant, artsy and oceanfront South African city. Overlooked by the dramatic Table Mountain (sunrises here are unmissable), Cape Town is an effortlessly cool coastal destination that truly has it all.

While Lion’s Head offers hiking trails, rugged rock formations and occasional zebra sightings, downtown districts brim with artisan coffee spots, craft breweries and the twinkling lights of the V&A Waterfront. It’s here, and in the City Bowl, that you’ll find everything from designer boutiques and fine dining to quirky markets and the impressive Museum of Contemporary Art Africa. The Neighbourgoods Market at the Old Biscuit Mill is perfect for local cheeses and olives, while Oranjezicht City Farm Market serves up the best of Cape Town’s street eats.

Camps Bay Beach, with its swaying palms, lively bars and golden sands, is ideal for lazy afternoons, while the quieter coves of Cape Point are pure tranquillity. For natural beauty, head to Kirstenbosch Botanical Gardens or spot the adorable penguin colonies along the Cape Peninsula. When it comes to wine tasting and traditional open-fire braai grills, you’ll be spoiled for choice.

🚆 Cape Town – Johannesburg by Blue Train (2 nights) or upgrade to Rovos Rail: The legendary Blue Train spans 994 miles between Cape Town and Pretoria, offering one of the world’s most luxurious rail journeys. Settle into the polished wood-panelled cabins, each with marbled bathrooms, plush upholstery and round-the-clock butler service, as the South African landscapes unfold outside your window. With world-class cuisine, fine wines, and even a small onboard boutique, this two-night journey combines nostalgia and elegance in perfect balance.

✈️ Johannesburg – Kruger (3 nights): Depending on your chosen lodge, you’ll reach Kruger by plane or private transfer. One of Africa’s largest and oldest game reserves, Kruger is home to the iconic Big Five – elephants, lions, leopards, rhinos and buffalo, along with more than 500 bird species. Lodges range from intimate boutique camps to luxurious safari retreats, each offering thrilling game drives, expert guides and unforgettable wildlife encounters. Speak to us about your preferences, and we’ll find the perfect match for your safari experience.

✈️ Kruger – Victoria Falls (3 nights): You’ll reach the mighty Victoria Falls via a return flight through Johannesburg to Livingstone. Depending on your lodge, a stopover may be required. Straddling Zimbabwe and Zambia, the Falls are a breathtaking spectacle, twice as tall as Niagara and significantly wider, with misty spray, thundering cascades and dramatic green gorges.

The Zimbabwean side offers 15 panoramic viewpoints, including the famous Victoria Falls Bridge, just a short stroll from Victoria Falls Town. Across the border in Zambia, you can explore Livingstone Island, The Livingstone Museum, and enjoy exhilarating activities such as white-water rafting and bungee jumping. Whichever side you visit, expect lush surroundings, abundant wildlife and outstanding dining. Make sure you try the local game specialities.

✈️ Victoria Falls – UK: After breakfast, we’ll transfer you to Livingstone Airport for your flight home to the UK, ending your unforgettable journey through Southern Africa’s most iconic landscapes.
