Itinerary

Day 1 - Johannesburg to Hazyview
Early departure from Johannesburg at 7 a.m. and head for Hazyview on the outskirts of Kruger National Park.

Days 2 & 3 – Hazyview to Kruger National Park
Today we enter the world-renowned Kruger National Park, home to a staggering amount of wildlife and birds. We camp for the night within the park and there is an option of a night safari. Kruger is one of the few places in Africa where it is possible to observe nocturnal wildlife and this makes a unique experience. On our final morning we will take an early game drive when the animals are at their most active.

Next we travel to Mozambique and Maputo. Maputo is a lively city with tree-lined streets, ocean views and interesting Portuguese colonial architecture. We overnight in a lodge in Maputo.

Days 4 & 5 - Inhambane And Ponta da Barra
Next we travel further north along the palm-fringed coast to Inhambane – a small town with a colourful market and friendly atmosphere. We camp at the idyllic Ponta da Barra for a couple of nights and enjoy relaxing on the beach, or walking along the peninsular where there are more opportunities for snorkelling, scuba diving, whale watching or quad biking.

Days 6 – 8 - Vilanculos
For the next two days we will be based in Vilanculos in order to enjoy a Dhow safari to the islands of the Bazaruto Archipelago – classed as a World Heritage Site for its outstanding natural beauty. Other activites to enjoy are horse riding along the beaches or interacting with the locals whilst visiting some of the volunteer and community projects in the area.

Days 9 – 11 - To Zimbabwe And Antelope Park
Leaving the beautiful coastline behind us, we camp on the shores of picturesque Lake Chicamba or cross into Zimbabwe and stay near Mutare. Next we depart for a relaxing day at the Antelope Park where you will have the rare opportunity to take a walk with some lion cubs, go horse riding, a boat cruise, or even ride and swim with an African elephant. The two full days driving will be quickly forgotten once the contrast of scenery, culture and animals of land-locked Zimbabwe become apparent.

Day 12 - Bulawayo
From Antelope Park we will travel to Bulawayo, the second city of Zimbabwe and join a full day tour to Matopos National Park, home to a large population of white rhino and the site of Cecil Rhodes grave.

Day 13 & 14 - Victoria Falls
Departing Bulawayo after breakfast we will arrive in Victoria Falls for a late lunch and have time to plan for an evening activity and any adventures on final day of the tour. Known locally as Mosi oa Tunya, ‘the smoke that thunders’, the falls themselves are one of the world’s natural wonders although they are neither the highest nor the widest. They do, however, create a visual spectacle as they cut a massive gorge in the earth and crash 111 metres to the river below. This gorge actually forms the border between Zimbabwe and Zambia. There are numerous optional activities on the Zimbabwe side, the most famous being white water rafting on the Lower Zambezi. This excursion takes a full day and has 14 plus rapids, none below grade 4 (rapids are graded from 1 to 6). Please note that at certain times of the year the rafting may be restricted or even closed due to high water levels (March – May). Bungy jumping is also an option for all those who wish to throw themselves 111 metres head first off a bridge! Various flights are on offer including light fixed wing aircraft, helicopter, microlight and ultralight, all offering wonderful views of the falls. As well as these there is horse riding, elephant riding and canoeing, not to mention a walk to the falls themselves. Videos and still photographs are available for purchase of most activities, and are a great reminder of your adrenaline filled visit to the mighty Victoria Falls and Zambezi River.We would advise that you spend a few days at Victoria Falls after the tour ends, this will allow you the time to take full advantage of the activities on offer. 
NB Entrance (approximately 20 USD) to Mosi oa Tunya (Victoria Falls) National Park is not included in your tour price.
