Itinerary

Get the most out of your time in Cape Town by pre-booking the South African Wine Tour and Tasting extra. If you do, we recommend booking accommodation for an extra night pre-tour as this activity has an early start time. Please note, due to the timings of this activity, there is a possibility you may miss the welcome meeting on day 1 of your tour - in this case, your CEO will leave you a message detailing what time and where you should meet the next morning. Stay: Cresta Grande Cape Town

Today's journey takes you to Lambert’s Bay, a picturesque town on the west coast of South Africa, where you will enjoy an included wine tasting. Learn how to analyze your palates, listen to your taste buds, and how to pair your food with the best wine raised in the foothills of the Cederburg Mountains. Stay: Sir Lambert's Guest House (B)

Travelling north, the group will enjoy a full day's travel through this dry and remote part of South Africa. In the mid-afternoon, cross into Namibia and a more arid region with a stop at scenic Orange River for the evening. After getting settled, choose to enjoy the late afternoon by the river bank. Stay: Norotshama River Resort (B)

This morning, leave the banks of the Orange River behind as you continue on to Fish River Canyon. Visit this breathtaking canyon, then travel north, enjoying dramatic Namibian landscapes as you head up towards Keetmanshoop. In the afternoon visit the geological formation: Giant's Playground and the Quiver Tree Forest. Stay: Quiver Inn Guesthouse (B)

Arrive in the area in the late afternoon, where the towering red sand dunes of Sossusvlei form the gateway into the Namib Desert. Stay: Sossus Oasis Campsite (B/D)

Enjoy a visit to Sossusvlei, a clay pan enclosed by the world’s largest sand dunes, up to 300m (984 ft) high. Here, use some free time to enjoy the sand dunes on your own. Visit the Sesriem Canyon, a small canyon typical of the area. Stay: Sossus Oasis Campsite (B/D)

Get a real feel for the Namib Desert as we spend hours crossing this empty region. En route to the Namibian coast, take a coffee break in Solitaire, a mystical village consisting of a filling station, general dealer/coffee shop, and small mechanical workshop. Before arriving to Swakopmund, drive through Walvis Bay, the only town on the Namibian coastline that boasts a deep-sea harbor. Spend two nights in the area exploring this historical town or trying some of the numerous activities available, such as sandboarding or a skydiving. Swakopmund has bizarre lunar landscapes, unforgettable sunsets, and prehistoric Welwitchia plants. Stay: Hotel Deutsches Haus Swakopmund (B)

You can pre-book your sky dive on the checkout page, or through your Global Connection Officer or travel agent. Stay: Hotel Deutsches Haus Swakopmund (B)

Begin moving east into the interior of Namibia. On this route, pass through a lunar landscape and see the imposing Spitzkoppe, also known as the “Matterhorn” of Namibia, in the distance. Visit Etosha National Park on a wildlife safari drive in our touring vehicle. Keep an eye out for lions, giraffes, elephants, rhinos, and antelopes. After sunset, some animals may head to the watering holes near the campground. Stay: NWR Etosha NP Okaukeujo Restcamp (B)

Enjoy another wildlife safari drive in our touring vehicle and keep your eyes peeled for the vast array of incredible animals. Stay: NWR Etosha NP Okaukeujo Restcamp

Leave Etosha National Park and head south through the Namibian countryside to Windhoek. Stay: Auas City Hotel (L)

Continue through the eastern part of Namibia and cross into Botswana before travelling into the heart of the Kalahari. Arrive in the late afternoon and camp in the Ghanzi area. Stay: Thakadu Bush Lodge (B/D)

Travel along the northern portions of the Kalahari Desert throughout the day – this is a severely arid and barren landscape, though very beautiful. After arrival in Maun, the biggest town in the Okavango Delta area, pick up any supplies needed and prepare for the journey into the Okavango Delta. Stay: Sedia Riverside Hotel (B)

The excursion begins with a drive in customized safari vehicles for about 1-2 hrs to the "dock" to board a mokoro (canoe) that takes us deep into the delta. After a 1-2 hrs in the mokoro, arrive to the camp. In the evening, watch a traditional dance performance. Stay: Okavango Delta Camping (B/L/D)

Enjoy the sunrise in the delta before travelling back to Maun by mokoro. Stop in Maun, pick up your luggage, have lunch, and continue to Nata. Stay: Elephant Sands (B/D)

Travel to Kasane outside the gates of Chobe National Park, home to the largest elephant population in Southern Africa. Opt to pre-book a Chobe River Sunset Cruise on the checkout page, or through your Global Connection Officer or travel agent. Stay: Thebe River Safaris Lodge (B)

Cross the border to enter into Zimbabwe and continue on to Victoria Falls, arriving in the early afternoon. This is a great base to see natural wonders and take part in some adventure activities. Opt to get up close (and wet from the spray) while visiting the immense Victoria Falls, raft the whitewater of the mighty Zambezi, or, for the more adventurous, bungee jump with Victoria Falls in view. Stay: Explorers Village Lodge (B/L)

Depart at any time. (B)

Cape Town to Victoria Falls 1 Andy, IN, United States, Jul 2022

An amazing way to see some of what Africa has to offer. We started in Cape Town to get the city vibes, head up north to Namibia to the desert for some camping and Etosha National Park to spot the Big 5, spent a few days in the marshy lands of the Okavango Delta chasing hippos, and finally ending the trip in Victoria Falls seeing the amazing falls.
