South Africa and Zambia Safari

Welcome to Cape Town. After assistance through immigration, a private driver brings you to the Victoria & Alfred Hotel on the V&A Waterfront. Floor-to-ceiling windows frame Table Mountain and the harbor, a refreshing backdrop for stretching your legs after the flight. We've kept the afternoon intentionally light, leaving everyone free to wander the nearby shops and cafes, or simply rest and watch as clouds roll across the mountain.

This morning, ride the Table Mountain Aerial Cableway for sweeping views of the city, ocean, and the Cape Peninsula. Later, step into the colorful streets of Bo-Kaap for a Cape Malay cooking experience in a local home. Learn to fold samosas, stir fragrant curries, and hear how spice routes helped shape the city’s culture and cuisine.

Head to Windmill Beach for a marine conservation experience tailored to families. Snorkel kelp forests and learn how this cold-water ecosystem is protected. After warming up, continue to Boulders Beach to watch endangered African penguins waddle and swim at close range. Your return route along Chapman’s Peak Drive serves up cliff-hugging views that make even the teens look up from their phones.

Sharing an unfenced boundary with Kruger National Park, MalaMala offers some of the region’s most exciting safari moments. On arrival, your guide and tracker ease your family into an afternoon drive, following fresh tracks and letting sightings unfold naturally. Between twice daily drives, spend time together by the pool or head out on foot to experience the bush from a different perspective.

Enjoy a final morning game drive at MalaMala before boarding a short flight to Zambia. Settle into your family space at Tongabezi Lodge, tucked along a tranquil stretch of the Zambezi River. Later, board a sunset cruise, scanning for hippos, crocodiles, and birdlife as the river glows.  

Victoria Falls changes with the seasons, so we plan your visit to match both timing and temperament. Feel the mist from rainforest viewpoints, swim in Devil’s Pool if conditions allow, or explore Livingstone Island for a bold, unforgettable vantage point. Back at Tongabezi, choose between fishing, relaxing, or a village visit. For thrill seekers, microlight flights or whitewater rafting offer exhilarating fun.  

Here, safari is lived, not just observed. At Dulini Anabezi, each day unfolds your way. Private game drives across open plains, canoeing past hippos, tiger fishing, or tracking wildlife on foot. Mornings feel full of possibility, afternoons can be adventurous or unhurried, and evenings end with golden light reflecting off the water. On your final morning, savor one last sunrise over the Zambezi before beginning your journey home.
