After enjoying a final breakfast at the Queen Victoria Hotel, meet your driver for a road transfer to Cape Town International Airport for your flight to Kruger Mpumalanga International Airport – the gateway to Kruger National Park! On arrival at this charming airport, board a smaller aircraft to fly to the nearby airstrip of the stunning Chitwa Chitwa Game Lodge.

Nestled in the wildlife-rich Sabi Sands Private Reserve, this lodge offers a front-row seat to some of the best Big Five sightings, with a particularly high chance of spotting leopards and lions. You may even have the thrill of encountering endangered species like wild dogs and spotted hyenas.

Upon arrival at the lodge, enjoy a refreshing welcome drink as the friendly staff introduces you to your surroundings. Settle into your luxurious suite and let the tranquil bushveld wash away the stresses of daily life. Here, there's no traffic noise—just the soothing sounds of the wilderness and the occasional quiet visit from an elephant grazing nearby.

The next three days promise unforgettable experiences: thrilling morning and evening game drives, close encounters with extraordinary wildlife, delectable meals, festive boma dinners under the stars, and breathtaking sunrises and sunsets that capture the magic of the African bush.

Enjoy a final morning at Chitwa Chitwa Game Lodge, accompanied by the breathtaking views of the reserve, before heading to the airstrip for your flight back to Kruger Mpumalanga Airport. From there, board a flight to Zimbabwe's Victoria Falls Airport. Upon arrival, your driver will meet you for a shared road transfer to Old Drift Lodge, your luxurious home on the banks of the Zambezi River.

After settling into your suite, complete with a private deck, plunge pool, and indoor and outdoor showers, enjoy a delicious lunch. You can choose to unwind at the lodge, soaking in the tranquillity of your surroundings, or dive straight into exploring Victoria Falls with an activity of your choice.

A guided tour of the falls is a must, but options abound—from a scenic helicopter flight for a bird's-eye view to serene sunset river cruises (another unmissable experience). Browse the lively curio markets, enjoy high tea at the elegant Victoria Falls Hotel, or, for thrill-seekers, take on zip-lining, bungee jumping, or seasonal rafting. For the bold, a tour of Livingstone Island and a dip in Devil's Pool await.

Evenings at Old Drift Lodge are magical, with alfresco dining under the stars, fireside storytelling, and the soothing sounds of the Zambezi—hippos calling, water splashing, and the gentle symphony of the African night.
