Cape Town * Kruger (Timbavati Game Reserve) * Johannesburg * Victoria Falls
Designed for people who want more than a classic wildlife itinerary, Southern Africa Culture & Wildlife blends iconic scenery and exceptional game-viewing with meaningful cultural interaction and understanding. Over 13 nights, you’ll experience the energy of Cape Town, the intimacy of a private reserve safari in the Kruger’s Timbavati, the layered stories of Johannesburg, and the sheer theatre of Victoria Falls, all through thoughtfully chosen excursions that reveal how South Africa’s history continues to shape daily life. Overall it is an immensely enjoyable safari tour.
This guided safari tour is available at two levels: Premier and Luxury, so you can choose the style that best suits you, while keeping the flow of the itinerary intact.
Your journey begins with four nights in Cape Town, perfectly paced for discovery. Explore the city on foot, travel the spectacular Cape Peninsula, and spend time with the inspiring Uthando community projects. Head up Table Mountain by cable car, browse the V&A Waterfront, or wander the street stalls of Greenmarket Square. A delicious highlight is the Bites & Sites Foodie tour, complemented by time in the Cape Winelands, visiting historic towns and celebrated estates.
Next, fly to South Africa’s premier safari region for three nights in the Timbavati Private Game Reserve, renowned for prolific wildlife and outstanding guiding. Then it’s on to Johannesburg for two nights; an essential stop for understanding the country’s past and present. Choose between a full-day exploration that can include Soweto, the Apartheid Museum, and city landmarks, or opt for the Cradle of Humankind (with the option to combine it with either the museum or Soweto).
The final chapter takes you to Victoria Falls for two nights. Take in the majesty of the Falls, enjoy a sunset cruise, and round off the experience with a vibrant evening at The Boma (optional), with time for additional (optional) activities as you wish including a township lunch.
If you’d like a shorter version, Victoria Falls can be removed to create an 11-night itinerary. We’ll gladly rework the routing and timings and provide a tailored quote.
