Is the Highlights of Southern Africa Trip for Me?

This journey takes you to the highlights of Southern Africa: from the wonderful Mother City (Cape Town), to a safari in the famous Sabi Sand game Reserve, a hop to Victoria Falls and ending with a wonderful game experience in the Greater Chobe region.

There will be plenty of opportunity to relax, or keep as busy as you wish with optional day trips while you visit Cape Town. Then it is up for some wonderful tracking of the Big Five and the amazing sights of the Victoria Falls, and unto boat safaris in the Chobe for close encounters with the mighty elephants.

The tour can be customized and days added should you wish to add the Okavango Delta for example.

My family and I had a great time on our trip to Botswana and Zimbabwe. It’s been a long time coming since we booked this trip for the summer of “nothing” (2020) and had to reschedule for 2023. Adelle was fantastic and patient as we made date changes several times. The hotels and experiences at these hotels were great–including the super fun (casino) hotel in Johannesburg. That made the overnight we weren’t really looking forward to so fun.

Adelle covered all of the details and was amazingly responsive for the 7-hour time difference. She answered every question we had. The hotels were beautiful, good safaris and great service. We were even upgraded to the Safari Club in Victoria Falls, which was an extra treat. The river safari in Botswana was a family favorite, as was the tour of Victoria Falls. I also want to say the border crossing between Botswana and Zimbabwe would have been a little nerve-wracking if we were doing it on our own.

Great trip! I highly recommend them and have done so already with several friends. I plan to use Discover Africa on our next trip to Africa.

"We had a wonderful safari experience, and Justin from Discover Africa made everything seamless from start to finish. Communication before the trip was clear and helpful, and we felt well supported throughout. Some truly special moments including the fantastic lodge..."
