There is something special in the air of Cape Town. The tranquil land seeking out for nature lovers is incredible. Landing in Cape Town makes you get closer to nature in the form of Table Mountain, and the two oceans providing the calm sense of serenity. Spend your first day gazing out the vibrant colors of the city and retreating the mountain slopes. Don’t miss to visit the ancient wine and culinary region surrounded by the Table Mountains.

Day 2: Victoria Falls – The Splendor of the Falls

Spend a leisurely day around the Victoria Falls - the largest waterfall in the world. If visiting Africa with your family, this would be the best family vacation spot, South Africa. Get closer to the fall but do not try to cross the safe limits. Keep your kids and elder people out of danger zone and you will get to experience one of the legends of South Africa in its fullest. Spend the day succumbing to the charms of nature, lounging along the banks of the Zambezi as hippos poke their heads above the waterline.

Day 3: Hwange National park - Time to Experience the Epic Wilderness of Zambia Safari

No safari is complete without the incredible wildlife and hence, the Zimbabwe Safari gives you a golden opportunity to witness the wilds of Zambia on the third day of your trip. While the first two days were nature inspiring, the third day will be full of adventure. While visiting the Hwange National Park, you will spot huge herds of elephants, antelopes, hippos roaming freely within the park boundaries. Watch the big cats looking for their prey.

The adventure you will experience in this park cannot be expressed in words. To know it better, visit it personally.

Day 4: Endless Encounters With Lions and Elephants

Spotting a lion and an elephant is not a big thing. You can get the same in any local zoo in your country.

Explore the park to the fullest and get mesmerized by witnessing a massive herd of the giants and wild like never before.
