The Classic Southern Africa Safari Adventure  is a 9 night/ 10 days package , that takes you on a journey of three wonderful highlights, starting with a safari near Kruger National Park, then moving onto a wonderful stay in Cape Town for Shabbat, and finally ending on a highlight at Victoria Falls.
