This Luxury Safari Vacation was designed for a couple from Atlanta who had been on multiple safaris. They wanted to add some other South African highlights to their journey, so we sent them to Cape Town, Johannesburg, and Victoria Falls in addition to 2 luxury safari lodges in South Africa and Botswana.
They started with 4 nights at the fashionable and ideally located Victoria & Alfred Hotel in Cape Town. Their entire stay in Cape Town was at their leisure. They spent an afternoon on the beach, hiked up Table Mountain, visited landmarks like the Kirstenbosch National Botanical Garden, and more during their stay. They also enjoyed discovering the boutique shops, galleries, coffee shops, and gourmet restaurants located on the V&A Waterfront by their hotel.
Next on their Luxury Safari Vacation, they were transferred to Motswari Game Lodge, a luxury safari lodge situated in the famed Kruger National Park. During their stay, they enjoyed 5-star personal service and thrilling game drives in the bush. With the help of their expert guide and tracker, they were able to cross a rhino off their Big 5 checklist and see other exciting wildlife.
Their Luxury Safari Vacation continued with an overnight in the heart of Johannesburg before they headed off to Victoria Falls Safari Lodge, within sight of the famous Falls themselves. They enjoyed a delicious dinner at the lodge and watched the magnificent sunset. The next day, they explored the area on an elephant-back safari and took a scenic helicopter flight for absolutely breathtaking views of Victoria Falls.
The last stop on their Luxury Safari Vacation was Ngoma Safari Lodge in Botswana’s Chobe National Park. After settling into their luxurious room, they went out on an evening game drive in Chobe, which is home to the largest elephant herds in the world. The next day, they took a full-day water safari on the Chobe River. In the evening, they enjoyed a private dinner on their deck with magnificent views over the plains.
At last, their Luxury Safari Vacation came to an end. They were transferred back to Johannesburg to catch their connecting flight home.
