The perfect 'travel triangle', this trip takes you to three of the most famous sights and experiences in Southern Africa; Victoria Falls, Cape Town and Sabi Sand National Reserve.
The spectacular Victoria Falls (seen from the Zambian side in this tour) is a spectacular sight that everyone should see at least once in their lifetime. Watch how the mist rises over the gaping and roaring mouth of the falls - known as the smoke that thunders, before heading deep into South Africa to embark on a safari experience. The Sabi Sand Private Game Reserve, adjacent to Kruger National Park, is home to some of the best game viewing in South Africa. Wildlife is abundant and varied, the guides are a wealth of information and the natural surroundings absolutely awe inspiring.
After all the excitement, this tour rounds off in the vibrant and beautiful Mother city, Cape Town. Here you could be staying in the heart of Cape Town, steeped in South African culture and history, there is something for every adventurer here, as well as endless opportunities to relax.
