Kruger Park, Vic Falls & Cape Town

ABOUT THIS TRIP

You start in one of the famous Private Game Reserves in the Kruger Park. Only overnight guests have access to the private reserves and you go on a Big Five safari with your ranger. You then continue to the mighty Victoria Falls. Here, the Zambezi River drops abruptly a hundred meters over a length of more than one kilometer. You take part in a guided tour to the falls and game drives in Victoria Falls National Park. The last stop is the Mothjer City of Cape Town. Day trips take you to Table Mountain, the Cape of Good Hope and the wine regions.

You don't want to drive yourself, but a small group tour doesn't have the right start date for you and a privately guided tour is too expensive? Then our English-speaking chauffeur-driven tours are just the right alternative. Your private chauffeur will take you from place to place, where you will then take part in guided day activities and excursions. However, you do not have the all-round support of a continuous tour guide. All chauffeur-driven tours can start daily and can be adapted to your wishes in advance. The more people take part in your own chauffeur-driven tour, the lower the price per person.

The Zambezi River plunges abruptly into a 110-metre-deep gorge over a length of more than one kilometer, producing an enormous spray that can be seen for miles depending on the season and water level. On Zimbabwe's side of the falls, a paved circular path leads directly along the gorge and offers a constantly changing view of the water masses from 16 different vantage points.

Wallow Lodge is situated outside Victoria Falls in a private concession area of the Victoria Falls National Park, bordered by the Masuwe River and the gorges of the Zambezi. The lodge was opened in 2022 and is slightly elevated along the Masuwe River with magnificent views from the spacious main area of the lodge as well as from all tented suites. The main lodge building is spacious and open plan, allowing guests to enjoy the view of the African bush and the animals along the river from the dining area, bar and lounge as well as from the outdoor terrace with pool and fire pit. The 16 tented suites have a bathroom/WC, an additional outdoor shower, a terrace with a view of the river, air conditioning, a fan, a minibar and a tea/coffee maker.

The price includes various activities such as a guided tour to Victoria Falls, game drives in the concession area, sundowners at Batoka Gorge, and a visit to the Victoria Falls Wildlife Trust.
