Natural Wonders and Safari Vacation

Inspirational natural wonders safari to South Africa and Zimbabwe

This trip combines a city break in one of the world's most beautiful cities, Cape Town, with a bucket-list experience of seeing one of the natural wonders of the world, Victoria Falls, and concludes with a big 5 safari in Zimbabwe's famously wildlife-rich Hwange National Park. Take a selfie at the top of Table Mountain, feel the spray of the Victoria Falls and sleep under canvas surrounded by the sounds of Africa.

Throughout this memorable holiday, you will be accommodated in 5-star properties. In Cape Town, the Table Bay Hotel is situated on the V&A Waterfront within easy distance of the city’s many attractions including Table Mountain. The Victoria Falls Hotel, built in 1904, is an icon of the area and has a prime location overlooking the Falls. There is plenty to see and do at Victoria Falls from boat trips and white-water rafting to scenic flights and cultural excursions. For your safari, Hwange’s original intimate bush camp, Little Makalolo offers privacy, relaxation, and remoteness. Hwange National Park serves up some of the best game viewing on Earth enjoyed on day and night game drives, and walking safaris.
