Grand Southern Africa Circuit — Cape Town to Okavango Delta
The ultimate 14-day journey from Table Mountain to the Okavango — South Africa, Victoria Falls & Botswana
Tour Overview
This is Southern Africa's defining luxury safari — the most requested itinerary in premium African travel and for good reason: it combines the world's most beautiful city, the planet's greatest wildlife reserve, and Africa's most spectacular waterfall into one seamless two-week odyssey. Begin in Cape Town with Table Mountain, the V&A Waterfront, and the Cape Winelands. Fly to the Sabi Sands for world-class Big Five game viewing in the Greater Kruger ecosystem — where leopard sightings are virtually guaranteed. Then onward to Victoria Falls for the "Smoke That Thunders" and a sunset cruise on the Zambezi. Finally, fly into Botswana's Okavango Delta — the jewel of African wilderness — for mokoro safaris, island-hopping by helicopter, and some of the most exclusive camps on Earth. This is the Grand Safari. The one you'll tell your grandchildren about.
