Depart New York on your international flight on South African Airways to Johannesburg. From the moment you board your South African Airways flight you feel the warm and welcoming African hospitality in every detail of the world class service you are about to experience. Sit back, relax, and prepare for an exhilarating adventure.

Arrive in Johannesburg and take a short domestic flight to your Cape Town destination. An African Travel, Inc. representative will escort you to the five-star Table Bay Hotel, nestled on Quay Six in the heart of the vibrant Victoria & Alfred Waterfront. Settle into South Africa time at the Lounge or Union Bar, or indulge in a divine massage at the spa.

Embraced by the Atlantic Ocean and flanked by imperial mountains, Cape Town hosts a dazzling display of bright lights and architecture reflecting both the beauty of the past and modern innovation. Simply step outside your hotel and explore the city’s grandeur, from picturesque landscapes and vibrant cuisine to its compelling and provocative history.

Enjoy another day at leisure. Blessed with one of the most stunningly beautiful settings of any city in the world, Cape Town and its surrounding areas offer enough activities to keep you occupied for a long time. You can shop for everything from handcrafts such as native masks and pottery to dazzling diamonds; enjoy the hospitality and high standards of some of the world’s top hotels and restaurants; and learn about South Africa’s history at world-renowned museums and monuments.

If you have yet to get your heart pounding in the Mother City, perhaps today is the day. Adventures await beyond every corner, from cavorting with the Boulder’s Beach penguins to descending into the shark-infested Atlantic in a reinforced cage dive. The adventure-minded crowd are never disappointed in Cape Town, and even the more conservative can push their comfort zone with an endless array of award-winning restaurants in every imaginable style of cuisine.

Cape Town / Hoedspruit / Kapama Private Game Reserve

Twice-daily game drives throughout the reserve, accompanied by expert guides and trackers, provide plenty of opportunities to witness the plethora of local wildlife. See for yourself why Kapama Private Game Reserve is affectionately known as the “African Eden” – this slice of wilderness paradise is secluded from the crowds and home to the notorious Big Five as well as more than 40 other mammal species and 350 different types of birds. Witness a magnificent African sunset while sipping a sundowner somewhere in the bush before celebrating with a communal dinner back at the lodge.

Venture on early morning and afternoon game drives in an attempt to experience as much of this reserve as possible. Kapama is the largest owner-managed private game reserve in the area, encompassing 13,000 hectares of sweeping wilderness. The reserve is also one of Africa’s premier ecotourism destinations, and rare wildlife – such as king cheetah, wild dog, serval and nocturnal black-footed cat – are frequently seen on game drives.

Take one last early morning game drive before embarking on a flight to Johannesburg. Upon arrival, you will be transferred to the DaVinci Hotel and Suites – a contemporary masterpiece set in the “City of Gold.” Located adjacent to Nelson Mandela Square, one of the country’s largest open public spaces, the Da Vinci Hotel and Suites offers opulent first-class facilities in a stylish and elegant setting. Spend the evening exploring Africa’s second largest city or enjoy a classic Euro Asian fusion dinner at the hotel’s restaurant.

Enjoy a sumptuous breakfast at the hotel before flying to Victoria Falls. The Victoria Falls Safari Lodge, perched high on the natural boundary to Zambezi National Park, serves as your exquisite home base during your stay at Livingstone’s World Heritage Site. This legendary lodge has been voted the “Best Safari Lodge” in Zimbabwe for 18 consecutive years and offers uninterrupted views from your private deck. Tonight, enjoy a sunset cruise on the Zambezi River and watch the sun bid adieu in a heart-wrenching display of color as various reflections dance upon the water. Return to your hotel for dinner at the award-winning Makuwa-Kuwa restaurant; ask for a table by the window to catch enviable views of the waterhole.

After breakfast, prepare for a radically different waterfront experience with a guided tour of Victoria Falls. This mile-long curtain of falling water is celebrated as one of the seven natural wonders of the world, and its extraordinary grandeur captivates visitors from around the globe. Take a walk through the magnificent rain forest and witness the Cataracts, Livingstone’s statue, and an endless variety of birds and plants. Later, indulge in the tantalizing aromas, tastes, and sounds of The Boma during a traditional African feast accompanied by traditional singers, dancers, fortune-tellers and storytellers. Burn off any extra calories during an energetic drumming circle under the sparkling night sky.

After a delicious farewell breakfast, you are transferred to Victoria Falls Airport for your flight back to Johannesburg. Once you have landed in Johannesburg, connect to your ongoing South African Airways flight and depart for USA.

Arrive in New York with memories to last a lifetime.
