Cape Town and Table Mountain, a Big Five safari, the story of Soweto and the thunder of Victoria Falls – an 11-day small-group journey through South Africa and Zimbabwe, handcrafted by Noor Voyages in Montreal.
Our Ultimate South Africa & Victoria Falls tour is an 11-day sweep across two countries: four nights in Cape Town for Table Mountain, the Cape Peninsula and its penguins, two nights on safari in a private game reserve in search of the Big Five, Johannesburg and the powerful history of Soweto and the Apartheid Museum, and a finish at Victoria Falls with a sunset cruise on the Zambezi. You travel in a small group with expert local guides, hand-picked hotels and a private safari lodge.
Met at the airport and transferred to your hotel, with the rest of the day free to explore the Mother City and its harbour.
Take the cable car up Table Mountain for sweeping views, then a guided city tour past the Castle of Good Hope and the colourful Bo-Kaap. A welcome dinner rounds off the day.
A full day down the peninsula: the cliffside Chapman's Peak drive, the Cape of Good Hope, a funicular to the lighthouse, a seafood lunch in Simon's Town, the penguins of Boulders Beach and the Kirstenbosch botanical gardens.
A free day to explore on your own, or join an optional excursion to the Cape Winelands for tastings and lunch among the vineyards.
Fly to Johannesburg and transfer to a private game lodge in the Dinokeng reserve. Your first game drive at dusk begins the search for the Big Five.
Dawn and afternoon game drives with an expert ranger, with time to relax by the pool or book a spa treatment between them, and a campfire dinner under the stars.
A final morning game drive, then transfer to Johannesburg with an afternoon around Sandton and Nelson Mandela Square.
A moving day of history: a Soweto township tour, the Hector Pieterson Memorial, Nelson Mandela's former home and the Apartheid Museum.
Fly to Victoria Falls and check in to a riverside lodge. As the day cools, a sunset cruise on the Zambezi drifts past hippos, elephants and birdlife.
A guided tour of the falls along the rainforest trails, feeling the spray of one of the greatest waterfalls on Earth, with the afternoon free for optional adventures.
After breakfast, a transfer to Victoria Falls Airport for your onward flight – or ask us to extend with Chobe in Botswana or a beach finish on the Indian Ocean.

You have three to four game drives in a Big Five reserve, so your chances of lion, elephant, buffalo, rhino and leopard are excellent – though wildlife is wild, so no single sighting is ever guaranteed. Expert rangers know where to look.
The advertised price is land-only. Internal flights (Cape Town-Johannesburg-Victoria Falls) run about $899 extra, and we can add your international flights from Montreal or any Canadian city for a complete package.
Yes. Cape Town in particular has a rich halal food scene, and we can request halal or other dietary options at hotels, the lodge and restaurants throughout – just let us know when you book.
May to October is prime game-viewing season, with drier bush and animals gathering at water. Cape Town is loveliest from November to March. This itinerary works well across the year.
