A coast-to-wildlife journey with two flights included

Spend fifteen days discovering South Africa's contrasting landscapes before continuing to Victoria Falls and a full-day Chobe outing in Botswana. Four Cape Town nights introduce the city, peninsula, Winelands and Robben Island. Johannesburg and Soweto add cultural context before three nights at Tremisana Game Lodge in Balule, Greater Kruger. Four nights at Shearwater Explorers Village complete the journey beside the Zambezi.

US$5,200 per person sharing; US$7,280 for a solo traveller under our standard supplement. The scheduled Cape Town–Johannesburg and Johannesburg–Victoria Falls flights are included, together with fourteen nights and itinerary ground transfers. Your departing Victoria Falls flight and other international flights are extra.

Cape Town landmarks and a Soweto encounter

Explore Table Mountain and Bo-Kaap on a half-day city tour, then travel along the Peninsula to Cape Point, Boulders Beach, Kirstenbosch and the Waterfront. A half-day wine excursion leaves an afternoon free, followed the next day by Robben Island and your flight to Johannesburg. The mountain cableway and island ferry depend on weather and operations; flight timing is coordinated around the island visit.

Your full-day Soweto visit includes the planned Hector Pieterson Museum and Nelson Mandela House stops, with lunch included. Visits and routing are confirmed around access and operating hours. Personal food purchases, souvenirs and independent excursions are additional.

Three Tremisana nights and two full Kruger days

Tremisana is your base in Balule Private Game Reserve, rather than a hotel inside Kruger National Park. After the road transfer from Johannesburg, settle in and confirm the lodge's arrival-day safari programme. Any Day 7 drive or bushwalk depends on the confirmed lodge schedule and arrival time; no extra guaranteed activity count is promised.

Days 8 and 9 each bring a full-day guided Kruger National Park safari, with breakfast arrangements coordinated for the early starts. Search for wildlife with your guide, without guaranteed sightings. A final sunrise reserve drive on Day 10 precedes breakfast and your return road transfer to Johannesburg.

Victoria Falls, free time and Chobe by boat and vehicle

Fly to Victoria Falls on the included scheduled flight and transfer to Shearwater Explorers Village. Enjoy the Zambezi sunset cruise, with drinks, canapés and any evening dining package confirmed in the final booking details. A separate full dinner is not promised where the supplied meal plan does not explicitly include it.

The next morning brings a guided walk along the Zimbabwe-side Falls rainforest and viewpoints. A free day gives you time to relax or book optional activities separately. Your Chobe day crosses the Kazungula border for a wildlife cruise, riverside lunch and safari drive before returning to Victoria Falls around 18:30, subject to border and road conditions. Activity order may vary.

Named lodges, confirmed hotels and a clear meal plan

The fourteen-night plan is four Cape Town hotel nights, three Johannesburg hotel nights, three Tremisana nights and four Shearwater nights. Although the source's summary mentions four-star accommodation, its daily schedule names three-star city hotels. This package therefore does not promise four-star grading throughout. City hotels, room categories and specific facilities are confirmed before booking.

Breakfast is included on Days 2–15, with arrangements confirmed for early transfer days. Lunch is included on the Soweto and Chobe days, and dinner on the three Tremisana nights. Other full meals and drinks are extra unless expressly covered by your confirmed cruise package. The Day 10 hotel dinner described in the source is not listed as included.

Passports and any required Botswana entry and Zimbabwe re-entry permissions are essential for Chobe. That outing accepts children aged two and above; families with children under three must contact us before booking. Optional helicopter flights, adventure activities, cultural visits and extra excursions are separate and subject to availability and safety conditions.
