Day 1: Welcome to Cape Town 

After landing at Cape Town International Airport, you’ll be met by your driver and transferred to the Victoria & Alfred Hotel, set in the heart of the bustling V&A Waterfront.

You’ll check into your Mountain-Facing Room with postcard-worthy views of Table Mountain...the perfect spot to unwind after your journey. The rest of the day is yours to explore. From local restaurants and boutique shops to scenic harbour walks, Cape Town’s waterfront is packed with charm. 

Day 2: Explore Cape Town

Enjoy a full day discovering everything Cape Town has to offer. Ride the Table Mountain cable car, explore the colourful Bo-Kaap neighbourhood, or take a boat ride out to Robben Island for a deeper look into South Africa’s rich history.

Whether you're into sightseeing, food, or culture, Cape Town has something for everyone. After a day of adventure, head back to your hotel for a restful evening.

Day 3: Into the Wild

This morning, your journey takes you inland to the spectacular Sanbona Wildlife Reserve. After a scenic drive, you’ll arrive at Gondwana Family Lodge, check into your luxury suite and enjoy a relaxing lunch.

Later, set out on your first afternoon game drive, guided by expert rangers who’ll help you spot iconic African wildlife. Your stay here includes all meals, two daily game drives, optional guided walks, and select snacks and beverages. A conservation levy for two adults is also included.

Day 4: Safari Adventures 

Wake up early for a morning game drive as the bush comes to life with the sunrise. Return to the lodge for a hearty breakfast, then enjoy some downtime, lounge by the pool, enjoy the views, or take a guided nature walk. In the afternoon, another thrilling game drive awaits, followed by dinner under the stars.

Day 5: Back to Cape Town

After one last morning in the bush and a farewell breakfast, you’ll transfer back to Cape Town for your final city stay. Check back in at the Victoria & Alfred Hotel, and spend the evening however you like; perhaps a sunset cocktail overlooking the harbour or a memorable dinner at one of the V&A’s renowned restaurants. 

Day 6: Fly to Victoria Falls 

After breakfast, head to Cape Town Airport for your flight to Victoria Falls, departing at 9:45 AM and arriving at 12:40 PM. Upon arrival, a representative will meet you and transfer you to The Wallow Lodge, tucked away on a private concession inside Victoria Falls National Park. Settle into your spacious Tented Suite, your home for the next two nights. 

Day 7: Discover Victoria Falls 

Today is yours to fully enjoy the best of Victoria Falls. Marvel at the Falls on a guided tour, learn about wildlife conservation at the local trust, or immerse yourself in local culture during a community visit. You’ll also have time to relax and enjoy sundowners with breathtaking views of the Batoka Gorge. It’s a day of natural beauty, culture, and relaxation all wrapped into one unforgettable experience.

Day 8: Farewell to Africa

Enjoy a final breakfast and a slow, peaceful morning before transferring to Victoria Falls Airport. Your flight to Johannesburg departs at 2:00 PM, landing at O.R. Tambo International Airport at 3:45 PM, a smooth and convenient way to wrap up your Southern African adventure.

What our guests say about Dolan

Friendly Professional Service
Safari,com's friendly and professional assistance in arranging a trip to MalaMala and Lukimbi Safari Lodge at short notice for myself, my son and grandson was invaluable. We communicated by email and telephone with our agent, Dolan, who was always available despite the time difference between South Africa and the USA. He managed the booking of the internal flights, and secured prime accommodations for us in both camps. The company also provided links to reasonably priced travel insurance. I have no hesitation in recommending Safari.com.
