Cape Town, Kruger & Victoria Falls

For your first full day in Cape Town, we have arranged a walking tour of the city with a private guide who will help you experience the city's history, people, and culinary delights. Along the way, you will stop to taste a mixture of traditional food and South African street food and visit some artisan coffee shops.

Today starts off with a trip up Table Mountain, which will give you iconic views of the city and Peninsula. In the afternoon you will visit Robben Island. While accompanied by a guide who was once an inmate, you’ll hear about its history as a place of exile and imprisonment, visiting the cell where Nelson Mandela was incarcerated.

A land tour of the Cape Peninsula is arranged for today, taking in Simon's Town, the penguins of Boulder's Beach and the spectacular scenery of Cape Point.

You have a half-hour private transfer back to the airport this morning for your two-and-a-half-hour flight to the Kruger. On arrival, you're met by your private driver and transferred to your safari lodge in Sabi Sand Wildtuin. The two-and-a-half-hour journey takes you north through Mpumalanga's plantations and rural communities before reaching the reserve, where you can spot game even before reaching your lodge. This afternoon, begin your safari adventure with a game drive out into the bush on the lookout for elephants, lions and rhinos.

Spend a full day on safari. You can join an early morning game drive to experience the reserve coming to life as animals such as leopards, wild dogs, and rhinos head out to feed. You then head back for a hearty breakfast and can relax at your lodge during the heat of the day, perhaps sitting on the deck to observe any passing wildlife. Another game drive in the late afternoon gives you a chance to see other wildlife and watch as the sun sets over the bush, enjoying a sundowner with your guide.

Spend another day on the lookout for the reserve's game and other wildlife. As well as the two game drives, you may also wish to join a guided bush walk with an experienced ranger, who'll point out some of the reserve's smaller species, such as reptiles, insects and birdlife, as you follow animal tracks on the ground. Driving back from the afternoon game drive, spotlights help you to see nocturnal species such as bush babies and chameleons.

This morning, you're collected and transferred by private vehicle to Kruger Airport. The journey takes around two hours through Mpumalanga's rural areas. At the airport, you board your hour-and-a-half flight to Livingstone, Zambia, ready for the final stretch of your adventure — Victoria Falls. Upon arrival, you're met by an Audley representative and driven to your lodge in a shared vehicle. The journey takes around an hour, cutting through Mosi-oa-Tunya National Park, so keep your eyes peeled for any passing wildlife. You will arrive at the lodge in time for an afternoon activity, and we recommend a sunset boat cruise on the Zambezi.

Today you can choose from a range of activities, from guided fishing and birdwatching trips to white-water rafting or a guided walk through one of the local villages. However, a highlight should be visiting Victoria Falls, where you can use the knowledge of a local guide to learn all about the history of this natural wonder.

Enjoy your last day at the falls — a great way to round off your trip is to see them from the air, either on a helicopter or a microlight flight. It gives you a completely different perspective and a true sense of scale as you gaze over the largest waterfall in the world.

Today you're driven for around an hour back to Livingstone Airport in time for your onward flight.
