Icons of Southern Africa

DAY 1 Arrival

You'll land in Cape Town this morning to be met by one of our friendly team and privately transferred to your hotel in the heart of lively Cape Town. After freshening up, head out for a wander to see some of the city sights such as the V&A Waterfront, the Bo-Kaap area, the Castle of Good Hope and Greenmarket Square. Our Concierge can recommend which you might like to prioritise and book a good restaurant for this evening according to your movements throughout the afternoon.

DAY 2 To Timbavati

You've experienced life in the city and seen your first iconic South African site but now it's time to see another side of the country, this time on a safari. We are sending you to Timbavati Private Nature Reserve, which is part of the Greater Kruger National Park, South Africa's most famous game area. To get there, transfer back to Cape Town airport and then fly to Hoedspruit airport where you'll be collected and driven to your lodge.

Once you arrive, spend some time adjusting to life in the bush with sundowners in the boma (encampment) while chatting to your guide about what animals you hope to see over the next few days.

DAY 3 Victoria Falls

Wake up to the sound of birdsong by the river this morning and then enjoy a hearty breakfast before the day's activities begin. First up you'll travel to Victoria Falls, one of the seven natural wonders of the world and certainly one of the most iconic sites in Southern Africa. With your guide on hand you'll learn how this is the largest curtain of water in the world and then appreciate its beauty from up close as well as further away on the numerous walkways surrounding the falls.

This afternoon, relax after lunch at your lodge and then take a sunset river cruise along the Zambezi. With sundowners and snacks on hand, sit and appreciate the tranquillity and the rich colours of the setting sun.
