South Africa Highlights

Karongwe Private Game Reserve

This area near Kruger National Park is famous for its abundance of wildlife, including Africa’s “Big 5” – lion, leopard, elephant, rhino, and Cape buffalo. Embark on morning and afternoon game drives, stopping for a sundowner drink to watch the sun set over the majestic Drakensburg Mountains.

South Africa Highlights

Victoria Falls

Visit Victoria Falls, called Mosi-oa-Tunya (the smoke that thunders) on the Zambezi River. Twice the height of Niagara Falls, this breathtaking waterfall spanning the border of Zimbabwe and Zambia offers twice the photo ops. Learn about the history of the falls from your local guide and hear fascinating facts about the local flora and fauna.

South Africa Highlights

Mkuze

Get a glimpse into the Zulu culture with a visit to a local community, before heading to Mkuze Game Reserve for an included game drive. The oldest proclaimed wildlife reserve in all of Africa, the park is home to lion, giraffe, elephant and more. You'll also have the chance to spot hippo and crocodile on a boat ride across Lake Jozini.
