Affordable Cape Town, Kruger & Vic Falls

Itinerary information

After touching down at Cape Town International Airport, meet your transfer driver at the arrivals terminal. Driving into the city, you will head to Gardens, a leafy neighbourhood at the foot of Table Mountain, where you will be spending four nights at Welgelegen House on a bed-and-breakfast basis. This comfortable guesthouse is centrally located within easy distance of restaurants, boutiques and art galleries. Its Victorian-era architecture offers insight into the country’s history, while modern, Afro-chic interiors hint at South Africa’s diverse cultural heritage.

Your time in Cape Town begins with a half-day city tour, including a cable car ride up Table Mountain (weather permitting), along with visits to some of the city's most important historical landmarks, such as the Company's Garden, St George's Cathedral and the Castle of Good Hope. Once you've explored the city, the following day is spent taking in the spectacular scenery and well-known highlights of the Cape Peninsula. Expect classic Cape Town sights including the Boulders Beach penguin colony, Chapman's Peak, Cape Point, Camps Bay, Clifton, Hout Bay, Simon's Town and Kirstenbosch National Botanical Garden.

The next day takes you a little further afield on a full-day Cape Winelands tour, where you'll enjoy tastings of excellent South African wines alongside views of rolling vineyards and beautiful Cape Dutch architecture.

Itinerary information

Bid farewell to Cape Town and head back to the airport for your flight to Hoedspruit – your gateway to Kruger National Park. From Hoedspruit, a road transfer takes you to a private game reserve in Kruger where you will spend three nights in a safari bungalow at Motswari Game Lodge on a fully-inclusive basis. Here you can track the Big 5 on open 4×4 vehicles and enjoy life at a traditional South African safari lodge.

Your luxury bungalow overlooks a seasonal riverbed or unfenced bushveld wilderness. It is fully serviced and is equipped with a king-sized bed, large deck and an en suite bathroom with a bathtub and shower.

In between leisurely meals and your morning and evening game drives, there is plenty to enjoy at the lodge. Select your favourite beverage from the bar to enjoy and relax with after a long day in the bush, taking in the beautiful surroundings and sharing stories. Soak up the African sun beside the pool and escape the heat of the day with a refreshing dip. After cooling off, consider booking an in-room massage for further relaxation.

Itinerary information

In the morning, after a slightly earlier start, a private road transfer takes you to Nelspruit’s international airport for a flight to Victoria Falls Airport in Zimbabwe, with a short layover in Johannesburg. After touchdown, you will be met and transferred to Ilala Lodge, which is located just minutes from the mesmerising Victoria Falls. From Ilala you can clearly see the Fall’s spray billow above the horizon, and on foot you are just minutes from the entrance to this incredible natural phenomenon.

Ilala Lodge is a comfortable and charming safari-style lodge that has a lovely open restaurant and beautiful lawns. The national park borders the front of the property, so wildlife is often spotted grazing close by. Victoria Falls and the Zambezi River have a lot to offer: enjoy boat cruises, micro lighting, bungee jumping, white water rafting, helicopter rides and more.

On your final day, transfer from Ilala to the Victoria Falls Airport, for a return flight to OR Tambo International Airport in Johannesburg for your onward travel arrangements.
