Kruger Safari & the Panorama Route with Victoria Falls

Welcome to the first day of your Kruger Safari and Victoria Falls tour! After meeting up with your tour leader and group at a hotel near the airport, travel to the southern Kruger National Park region. Fun fact: This safari park is almost the size of Belgium! Get to know your fellow travellers with a welcome dinner tonight.

Get ready for a full-day safari adventure in Kruger National Park. Spot incredible African wildlife in their natural environment. Keep an eye out for leopards, lions, elephants, wild dogs, rhinos, cheetahs and more. Later, travel to the lodge in the park’s central region. Take a dip in the pool or relax with a sun-downer before dinner tonight.

Today, choose between a half or full-day safari through prime wildlife areas, with stops at scenic waterholes and rest camps. Keep your camera ready and see if you can spot the Big 5 (rhino, elephant, buffalo, lion and leopard). After the drive, unwind with a swim and soak in the surroundings before enjoying dinner with the group.

On your final day in the Kruger, opt for a final half-day or sunset safari led by a local wildlife expert. Or, simply relax by the pool. Tonight marks your last evening in the bush. Gather around the fire, share stories from your adventures, and toast with a glass of Amarula, a beloved local liqueur made from marula fruit.

It’s time for your Panorama Route tour! Drive along this scenic route in the Mpumalanga Province and stop at the Three Rondavels viewing point. Here, snap some memorable photos of the magnificent Blyde River Canyon. Then, visit Bourke’s Luck Potholes and wander through the many plunge pools and rock formations. Finally, head back to Johannesburg for the evening.

This morning, head to the airport and hop on an included flight to Victoria Falls in Zimbabwe. Look forward to spending three nights in the stunning, UNESCO-protected Victoria Falls region, home to one of the world’s greatest natural wonders. Adventure, wildlife, warm hospitality and scenic treasures await!

Begin your day with a locally-guided morning tour of Victoria Falls, wandering the lush rainforest and admiring the world’s largest waterfall. Later,  embark on a thrilling, optional helicopter over Vic Falls for unbeatable aerial views. In the afternoon, enjoy a sunset Zambezi River cruise, spotting amazing wildlife such as hippos, crocodiles, and owls.

Today is free to enjoy at your own pace. Relax at the lodge or explore Victoria Falls using convenient hourly shuttles. For a new adventure (and a new country!), join the optional Chobe Day Trip to Botswana. Spot local wildlife on a game drive, enjoy an included lunch, and embark on a scenic river cruise through the Chobe National Park.

Savour a final breakfast with the group, overlooking the stunning Victoria Falls. Later, take an included flight to Johannesburg, marking the end of the tour. You can choose to extend your stay in Johannesburg or continue to your next destination. Expat Explore looks forward to welcoming you on another adventure soon!
