Ever dreamt of climbing Table Mountain or gliding through the Okavango on a mekoro or drinking Earl Grey tea overlooking the spectacular Victoria Falls? This fabulous 15-night trip spanning 2,700 kms lets you live that dream.

Spend the next 3 nights here in the lap of luxury and spend your days marveling at the iconic Table Mountain, visiting the fascinating Robben Island, sipping cocktails at the bustling and vibrant waterfront or simply relaxing around the pool soaking up the African sunshine. On day five, you will be picked up and driven to the lovely Cape Winelands and taken to the enchanting Leeu House in pretty town of Franschhoek. Two nights here will give you plenty of time to explore this pretty area and to sample some of the world’s most delicious wines at one of the many vineyards in the area.
On day seven, a private transfer will take you to Cape Town International Airport to catch your flight to Maun in Botswana, gateway to the vast water wonderland of the Okavango Delta. A short hop in a light aircraft will transport you deep into the Okavango to begin your 6-day adventure-packed safari staying at Camp Moremi for your first 3 nights and Camp Okavango for 2 nights.
Victoria Falls provides a fitting grand finale to this terrific holiday. A short light aircraft hop north from Camp Okavango will take you to Kasane in the far north of Botswana where you will be met and transferred over the border into Victoria Falls. The elegant Victoria Falls Hotel is steeped in Edwardian grandeur and is a perfect base from which to gaze in wonder at the spectacular Victoria Falls. A 2-night stay here concludes your grand tour. Begin your journey home with an early morning start to Victoria Falls Airport for your flight to Johannesburg in South Africa to connect with your international flight home.
