One of the finest nature reserves in Africa, the Kruger is a vast wilderness of thorn trees, prolific game and sub-tropical heat. It is home not only to The Big Seven - elephant, lion, leopard, buffalo, rhino, cheetah and wild dog, but also to an abundance of smaller, equally fascinating animals and birdlife. The size of Wales or Israel this amazing wildlife paradise contains a vast array of habitats that attract different animals and birdlife in different seasons.

Your package includes all your game activities in Kruger, including early morning and afternoon game drives. Between game drives, you will have time to relax at your chosen lodge and enjoy the sumptuous meals on offer, a refreshing dip in the pool or quiet time with a book overlooking the fabulous African bush.

At the heart of the Panorama Route is the Blyde River Canyon which is situated in an area of sculpted peaks and deep ravines, tumbling streams and green valleys. The drive alongside the Blyde River Canyon, a majestic red sandstone gorge with sheer cliffs plunging into waters below, is magnificent.

You will be transferred to the Kruger Mpumalanga Airport for your onward flight to Victoria Falls (flights not included, additional costs apply). You will be met on arrival at Victoria Falls airport and transferred to your hotel.

The Victoria Falls is a sight not to be missed - the clouds of spray generated by this thunderous descent have resulted in a lush rain forest full of stunning wild flowers. This is truly one of Africa's most spectacular sights and the Victoria Falls village in Zimbabwe is the perfect base from which to appreciate it.

A host of activities are centred on four separate delights: the Falls, the magnificent Zambezi River, the surrounding Zambezi National Park and the Victoria Falls village.

A tour of the Falls is a must, the 'Flight of Angels' helicopter flight gives you the most amazing aerial views of the Falls, and when water levels are low the Devil's Pool will get the most hardened thrill seeker's heart pumping.

The Zambezi River has two characters - the wide gentle river above the Falls is a magic spot for sunset boat cruises or gentle canoeing, whilst below the Falls, the more adventurous can enjoy serious whitewater rafting, jet boating or bungee jumping.

Game drives, horse riding and conservation safaris are offered in the Zambezi National Park to view elephant and buffalo.

A high tea amidst the colonial splendour of the Victoria Falls Hotel is a daily event and a carnivorous feast at the Boma Restaurant or a treat at the Dusty Road Township Restaurant awaits the hungry.

This package includes a Guided Tour of Victoria Falls and Zambezi Sunset Dinner Cruise.

As a tailor-made package we can adjust activities to suit your needs and add in extra nights if you'd like.
