$3999—13-day safari, Cape Town & Victoria Falls tour

Africa can feel like a big trip to plan. This 13-day small-group tour keeps the dream focused on the iconic three: Kruger, Cape Town and Victoria Falls. It starts where many first-time Africa trips should: in Big Five country. You’ll spend three nights near Kruger in an air-conditioned safari tent, then head out on a full-day open-vehicle game drive. Cape Town shifts the mood from bush to coast, with Table Mountain, city colour and time to explore your way. Then Victoria Falls gives the journey its natural crescendo. Three nights there means the Falls are not a quick photo stop. You can add a Zambezi cruise, helicopter flight or Chobe day trip. Stays, guided touring, transfers and internal flights are included. It is a smart, manageable way to see Southern Africa’s wildlife, city and natural-wonder icons.

Starting at just $3999 per person, Travelzoo members enjoy an impressive 47% off Inspiring Vacations' usual prices. That's $3496 off per person.

Itinerary highlights

In Johannesburg, a short stay provides an introduction to South Africa before the journey moves beyond the city and into the country's wild interior.

Within Kruger National Park, you stay in a safari camp overlooking a waterhole, where wildlife drifts in and out of view throughout the day and a full-day game drive ventures deep into the reserve in search of the Big Five across open savanna and bushland.

Arriving in Cape Town, Table Mountain dominates the skyline as a guided tour explores Bo-Kaap's colourful streets, the Castle of Good Hope, and the Company's Garden, followed by leisure time to discover the Cape Peninsula, the nearby winelands, or the city's vibrant waterfront precincts.

At Victoria Falls, the Zambezi River plunges over a cliff stretching more than a kilometre wide, creating curtains of mist, rainbows and one of the most powerful natural spectacles in Africa.

Returning to Johannesburg concludes the journey after experiencing the contrasting landscapes, wildlife, and cultures of Southern Africa.
