Northern Adventure

11 Days Johannesburg to Victoria Falls

South Africa • Zimbabwe

 

Beginning in one of Africa’s most famed national parks, Kruger, we begin our safari in search of the “big five”, taking in the beauty of this region we explore the natural splendour of Blyde River Canyon and gaze across the land through Gods window – never before has a name been more apt.

 

Crossing into Zimbabwe – once the empire of southern Africa, we take in the history as we explore the Great Zimbabwe Ruins. Travelling up north we get up close and personal with the lions of Antelope Park, your wildlife experiences continue as we explore Matabo National Park in search of the white rhino, this area, rich in rock paintings, is a marvel in itself as history comes alive as we recount the past happenings on the ground we tread.
