Itinerary & map

What you'll see

Welcome to Johannesburg! On arrival in South Africa’s vibrant metropolis, you’ll be met by a Luxury Escapes representative at Johannesburg O.R. Tambo International Airport (JNB), who will greet you before your transfer by domestic flight to Hoedspruit (‘Hat Creek’ in Afrikaans), the vibrant gateway to the world-famous Kruger National Park. Upon arriving in town, you’ll be met by a tour representative and transferred to your luxurious accommodation, Imbali Safari Lodge.

Set within the extraordinary Kruger National Park, Imbali is the perfect base to explore a region steeped in history, brimming with spectacular landscapes and an abundance of incredible wildlife. Set within the central point of over 10,000 hectares of wild concession, each of the lodge’s 12 private chalets offers exquisite views, private jacuzzis and everything you need for a truly magical African experience. Spend your first evening admiring the majestic South African sunset and savouring time spent in the midst of the true wilderness.

Inclusions

Imbali Safari Lodge (Suite) or similar

Lunch and Dinner and local drinks (including wine and spirits)

Roam wild and free as you explore the Mpumalanga region, backed by the expertise of Imbali Lodge. Admire how Kruger National Park’s spectacular granite kopjes (hills) pepper the south, the Lebombo Mountains rise from the savannah in the east, and tropical forests cover the north of the staggeringly huge park.

Spend days in paradise engaging with Imbali Lodge’s incredible safari program. The park offers some of the best game viewing and wildlife opportunities in the world, including Africa’s iconic safari species and the coveted ‘big five’ – elephant, lion, leopard, rhino and buffalo. It’s also the perfect chance to catch glimpses of giraffes, zebras and menacingly cute hippopotamuses, as well as an extraordinary amount of native birdlife, including southern yellow-billed hornbills, crested barbets and glossy starlings.

If you’re feeling brave, ask your guide about ‘Qugunyan’s Fortune,’ an almost mythical abandoned fortune of diamonds, gold and coins found originally found just after the Anglo-Boer war.

Enjoy evenings with good company, great food and hours spent under the star-swept skies.

Inclusions

Imbali Safari Lodge (Suite) or similar

Breakfast, Lunch and Dinner and local drinks (including wine and spirits)

After breakfast, depart for Kruger Mpumalanga International Airport (MQP) and your international flight of approximately two hours to Victoria Falls Airport (VFA), Zimbabwe, and the gateway to one of the world’s most magnificent natural cascades. After touching down, you’ll be met and transferred across the border to your Zimbabwe accommodation – Pioneers Victoria Falls (approximate transfer time is 4.5 hours).

Set among lush gardens, this boutique, heritage-inspired hotel offers elegant lodging just minutes from the thunderous beauty of Victoria Falls. Spend pleasant evenings in the serene central area, dining in Pioneers Falls’ nostalgic dining room or sipping local craft beer in the stylish lobby bar.

Inclusions

Pioneers Victoria Falls (Standard Twin Room)

Breakfast and Light refreshments on the river cruise

Today, learn about Victoria Falls, one of the world’s most spectacular waterfalls, on a guided tour on the Zimbabwean side of the falls. Learn why the falls are known as ‘Mosi-oa-Tunya’ – ‘The Smoke that Thunders’ – by locals, and witness what happens when the waters of the Zambezi River plunge over the 1700-metre-wide and 100-metre-deep chasm, creating a shower of spray and deafening noise.

As you amble along scenic pathways of the surrounding rainforest – stopping at each spectacular vantage point along the way – learn about the geological formation of Victoria Falls, the fascinating ‘discovery’ by David Livingstone and the abundance of birdlife.

After an afternoon of leisure, savour the experience of a lifetime – a sunset cruise along the mighty Zambezi River. Board the Ra-Ikane – named after historic explorer David Livingstone’s local guide and handcrafted to resemble a turn-of-the-century riverboat – and sip on your favourite sundowner as you relax and enjoy the riverine vegetation and exciting wildlife, including unique birds, hippos and the occasional crocodile. It’s the perfect way to experience Victorian splendour in the heart of Africa as you enjoy a welcome cocktail, tea and cakes while being given the history of the river. In the drier months, wildlife such as elephants and many antelope species can be seen grazing on the riverbanks or swimming across to the smaller islands.

Please note: Your sunset cruise may be moved to another day, depending on weather and transfers.

Inclusions

Pioneers Victoria Falls (Standard Twin Room)

Breakfast

After a hearty breakfast, journey by vehicle roughly 90-minutes to your accommodation – Cresta Mowana Safari Resort & Spa, a luxurious riverside retreat in the heart of the Botswana bush, on the edge of Chobe National Park — home to Africa’s largest elephant population, buffalo herds, lions, leopards, hippos, crocodiles and a vast number of beautiful birds.

The options are almost limitless – spend your days exploring the stunning natural beauty of Chobe National Park.

Highlights & inclusions

The following are included in your tour package:

Your experience begins in Johannesburg, gateway to spectacular Kruger National Park.Embark on game drives led by expert local guides and trackers, who will share personal stories and help you spot elusive animals. Dubbed the ‘big five’ purely because they are the five most difficult animals in Africa to seek out on foot, there’s nothing more majestic than watching lions, leopards, rhinos, elephants and buffalos in their natural habitat – it’s an experience you will never forget.

You’ll also visit Chobe National Park, home to Africa’s largest elephant population, with an estimated 120,000 of these beautiful animals calling the reserve home. Botswana has long been associated with the world’s greatest explorers, including David Livingstone, and you can follow in their footsteps with incredible wildlife experiences. Spend two full days in the Chobe area, taking morning and afternoon game drives. The rich ecosystems of the park lend themselves to an astonishing diversity of flora and fauna, as well as an array of stunning landscapes and, of course, spectacular wild animals, including lions, giraffes, hyenas and more.

Get up close to one of the world’s most spectacular waterfalls, Victoria Falls, on a guided tour and learn why the falls are known as ‘Mosi-oa-Tunya’ – ‘The Smoke that Thunders’ – by locals. Witness as the roaring waters of the Zambezi River plunge over the 1700-metre-wide and 100-metre-deep chasm, creating a shower of spray and deafening noise, and dividing the countries of Zimbabwe and Zambia in a most dramatic fashion. Determined to be the largest naturally formed waterfall on planet Earth, in 1989, it officially became one of the Seven Natural Wonders of the World.

Begin your journey with three nights at the lavish Imbali Safari Lodge, set on the banks of the N’waswitsontso River in the Kruger National Park. It’s view of the valleys and mountains, the enchanting sunrises and African sunsets and the variety of game species that graze nearby create a serene ambience that makes the lodges at Imbali a truly spectacular experience.

Let all-inclusive dining and free-flow drinks fuel your adventures as you embark on exhilarating game drives to spot elephants, lions, giraffes and leopards. By night, unwind in your private lodging surrounded by lush landscape. Rustic and sanded wooden decks open to an expansive backdrop of the national park while sandstone bathrooms welcome you with sunken bathtubs and romantic outdoor showers – it’s the perfect setting to reconnect with nature.

You’ll also spend two nights in the shadow of wonder at Pioneers Victoria Falls – an oasis of timeless glamour – and two nights at the opulent Cresta Mowana Safari Resort and Spa, located on the banks of the mighty Chobe River.
