Introduction to the safari trip from Cape Town to Victoria Falls

The safari trip from Cape Town South Africa to the Victoria Falls Zimbabwe: You want to experience the most beautiful landscapes of Africa and wild nature between Cape Town and the Victoria Falls while still enjoying the comfort of well-equipped lodges? There are excellent hotels in Africa, comfortable lodges or alternatively tents, delicious meals, and professional guides. With all these amenities, we will take you through the most beautiful landscapes of South Africa, Namibia, Botswana, and Zimbabwe: From Table Mountain in Cape Town, through the Fish River Canyon, over the Sossusvlei dunes, Swakopmund and Etosha National Park, further to the Okavango Delta, to the roaring Victoria Falls. Look forward to an unforgettable adventure and the diversity of Southern Africa! Nelson Mandela was imprisoned for a total of 27 years, 18 of which were on Robben Island, in a solitary cell of only about 5 m² near Cape Town. He was convicted among other things for sabotage against the apartheid regime. If you are already in Cape Town before the safari begins, a visit to Robben Island is worth it: The ferries depart daily from the V&A Waterfront Museum and provide you with a moving insight into South Africa's history. Note: If you arrive earlier in Cape Town, you can still do a few excursions in this city, and you are welcome to book a hotel stay, airport transfer, and even the flight itself through us.

Daily program: Lodge/Hotel Safari: From Cape Town to the Victoria Falls

Day 1: South Africa – Cederberg Region

The journey begins in Cape Town, one of the most famous cities in South Africa. Located right at the foot of Table Mountain, this is our first stop before continuing into the impressive Cederberg Region. Here, some orange plantations are cultivated and at the mountain slopes is the origin of the rooibos plant, which is known as tea. On the way, we stop at a padstal, a small local roadside shop, and try freshly prepared specialties. During our joint dinner, we can get to know each other better and enjoy the African specialties and hospitality.

Day 2: Namibia – Namaqualand - Gariep (Orange) River

This day takes you further through South Africa into Namaqualand, a barren desert region, to which we can start getting used to its impressive sight for the next few days. Before reaching the Orange River, we make a stop in Springbok to buy supplies. By afternoon, you reach the camp at the edge of the Orange River, the Gariep, as it is called in the local language.

Day 3: Fish River Canyon

The river on which we slept is the longest river in South Africa, and you have the opportunity to take a canoe trip on it in the morning. Around noon, we set off again and leave South Africa, crossing the border into Namibia. The safari leads to the Fish River Canyon, the second largest canyon in the world. On a hike in the canyon, you have the opportunity to explore it. After that, we continue to Keetmanshoop, where we will spend the night today.

Day 4: Fish River Canyon – Quiver Tree Forest – Giants Playground - Namib Naukluft National Park

This day starts with an exploration of the Quiver Tree Forest and Giants Playground near Keetmanshoop, where we can admire the extraordinary rock formations. Afterwards, the safari takes us deeper into the Namib Desert. Today is a day on which we will cover a lot of distance to reach the beginning of the dune fields in this desert. You will get to know the many facets of the desert with its different landscapes. The drive through red dune fields, barren stone landscapes, and isolated farmland gives you a feeling for the vastness of Namibia. We will spend the next two nights here at the edge of the dune fields.

Day 5: Namib-Naukluft National Park

Today you have time to relax in your lodge. Many safari guests use the day for self-guided hikes through the dunes. You will fall asleep in the evening to the calls of the barking geckos.

Day 6: Sossusvlei Dunes – Namib-Naukluft National Park

On this day, you drive early in the morning into the Namib-Naukluft National Park. You ascend Dune 45 shortly after sunrise and enjoy the play of colors of the desert. After that, you continue in a 4x4 vehicle to the salt pans of Sossusvlei and Dead Vlei, where you explore the dead trees in the white clay pan on foot. In the afternoon, you visit the Sesriem Canyon and return to the lodge in the evening.

Day 7: Namib-Naukluft National Park to Swakopmund

In the morning, we will be guided through the desert by an expert. Later, we drive from the desert to the coastal town of Swakopmund. On the way, you cross the Tropic of Capricorn. In the late afternoon, you reach civilization again in Swakopmund. Swakopmund is known for its German baking tradition and cozy cafés. Here you can choose from various activities, and in the evening, we will go for dinner together at a restaurant.

Day 8: Swakopmund

This day is at your leisure in Swakopmund. You can stroll through the town, enjoy German specialties in cafés and bakeries, and explore what this place has to offer. However, you can also choose action-packed options and select from various activities.

Day 9: Swakopmund to Brandberg

In the morning, we drive from Swakopmund to Brandberg. Here, you will take a nature hike of about two hours to the famous 'White Lady' rock painting, which is about 2000 years old. One of the 45,000 rock paintings in this area.

Day 10: Etosha National Park

The varied landscape of Namibia gives way to vast salt pans and savannahs. Etosha National Park is one of the largest wildlife parks in Africa and offers forests, savannas, and the extensive, dried-up salt pan in the middle.

Day 11: Etosha National Park

Today includes a full-day safari program. No safari is the same as the other. Together we explore the wilderness and search for the numerous wildlife that inhabit this area. It will be exciting to observe the lions and elephants in their natural environment. Just make sure you don't get eaten! At the waterholes, we have particularly good chances of seeing the Big Five and many other animals and birds.

Day 12: Etosha National Park

The morning belongs to you: relax in the lodge or stroll through the camp before we set off again in the safari truck after lunch. In the afternoon, you can expect another safari drive.

Day 13: Etosha to Divundu

We say goodbye to the white plains of Etosha and drive to the Kavango River, where we will spend the night in Divundu.

Day 14: Divundu to Maun

Before we continue our journey to Maun, the gateway to the legendary Okavango Delta, we enjoy a cozy boat tour on the calm Kavango River. After this experience, we cross the border into Botswana and head south to our next stage destination: the lively safari town of Maun, a central starting point for exploration tours into the Okavango Delta.

Day 15: Khwai Conservation Area

For the next two nights, we say goodbye to our truck, as a real bush adventure awaits us in the Khwai Conservation Area. Please pack only the essentials. You will be staying in a comfortable Meru tent. Afterwards, you will be taken further into the conservation area in an open safari vehicle. In the afternoon, a special highlight awaits you: our local guide will prepare you for a traditional mokoro excursion, a serene ride in a dugout canoe through the waterways of the delta.

Day 16: Greater Moremi Game Reserve Area

Today, you will experience an extensive safari expedition in the Moremi Wildlife Reserve, a day full of exciting animal observations and unforgettable natural experiences. With rugged all-terrain vehicles, we will traverse varied landscapes: from marshy wetlands to open water surfaces to grass-covered plains and light bushland. Our focus is on wildlife. With a little luck, we encounter elephants, antelopes, big cats, and numerous bird species.

Day 17: Khwai to Nata

Even before sunrise, we leave our camp in the Khwai area and board the open safari vehicles. We eventually reach Nata, where a comfortable accommodation awaits us. After a day full of impressions, this is the perfect place to relax.

Day 18: Nata to Kasane - Chobe National Park

After breakfast, you head to the vast salt pans near Nata. After a short rest, a relaxed boat tour on the Chobe River awaits you in the afternoon. From the water, elephants and other wildlife can be observed up close.

Day 19: Zimbabwe – Victoria Falls

After crossing the border into Zimbabwe, you reach one of the highlights of your journey: the Victoria Falls, also known by the locals as 'Mosi-oa-Tunya'. The immense water masses of the Zambezi River plunge into the Batoka Gorge here and provide an impressive natural spectacle that you can explore at your own pace.

Day 20: Victoria Falls

After breakfast, our joint overland truck safari ends. The day is at your leisure, and you can shape it to your liking. Whether white-water rafting on the Zambezi, an impressive flight over the majestic Victoria Falls, or relaxed exploration tours through the town.
