Today you drive back to Cape Town International Airport for a short flight to Kruger Mpumalanga International Airport, from where you will be transferred into one of the Kruger’s brightest gems, the Sabi Sands. Settle into your comfortable suite at Idube Lodge, nestled in a gorgeous indigenous garden with tall trees and lush green lawns. Unwind beside the lodge’s swimming pool, perfectly situated for bird-watching and game viewing – families of warthogs and nyala antelope come to graze on the lush lawns! Enjoy the tranquillity and privacy of your suite’s private deck, watching the resident ground squirrels and vervet monkeys go about their daily business. Idube’s open main lounge is a great spot to relax while waiting to see more of the local wildlife. Enjoy thrilling game drives in the phenomenal Sabi Sands, home to a plethora of mammals, over 500 bird species, and Africa’s legendary Big 5. This private game reserve shares an unfenced border with the iconic Kruger National Park, and is known for consistent and rewarding Big 5 game viewing – this is one of the best safari areas in South Africa.

Transfer back to Kruger Mpumalanga International Airport for a short flight to Livingstone Airport, from which you will be transferred to the charming Batonka Guest Lodge on the Zimbabwean side of Vic Falls. Set in a tranquil and gorgeous garden, Batonka is an intimate little oasis a mere 5-minute walk from Victoria Falls Town. The lodge’s heartbeat is its beautiful, shaded veranda – a fantastic spot to enjoy your cheerful breakfasts, pre-dinner drinks or simply unwind in the outdoor bar and lounge area. Take a dip in the refreshing swimming pool after a full day of activities around Vic Falls. Aptly named ‘the smoke that thunders’ or Mosi-oa-Tunya (its traditional name), Victoria Falls is the largest waterfall on Earth and one of the Seven Natural Wonders of the world. Other than the spellbinding experience of a guided tour of the Falls, the surrounding area offers a wide variety of fun and heart-racing activities. Victoria Falls is known as the ‘Adventure Capital of Africa’, and for good reason! White-water rafting, bungee jumping, ziplining and micro-lighting are among the many adventure activities enjoyed by thrill seekers at the Falls. If you are visiting during the low-water season (about August to December), you can take a dip in the famed Devil’s Pool – a natural rock pool at the very edge of the Falls’ Zambia side. If you are looking for more relaxing experiences, Zambezi River sunset boat cruises or day trips to the surrounding wildlife parks will be right up your alley.
