About
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.
The Tour starts every Monday, in Johannesburg International airport, and ends on a Wednesday in Johannesburg international airport
Our first 3 nights are spent at an owner run, intimate safari lodge, set deep in one of the premier central regions bordering on Kruger National Park.
The next 4 nights are enjoyed in Cape Town, including Shabbat, in a hotel that is very familiar with Kosher guests, in an upmarket suburb, walking distance to Orthodox Shuls, some Kosher eateries, and short driving distance from the ocean, Table Mountain and the Victoria and Alfred waterfront.
The final 2 nights are up in Victoria Falls, Zimbabwe in a boutique style safari lodge setting, far away from the mass tourism hotels of the busy central town, but close enough to enjoy all the major attractions of this natural wonder of the world.
Starts every Monday in Johannesburg International airport, and ends on Wednesday back in Johannesburg international airport, with guaranteed departure based on a minimum of 2 participating guests.
All tours in Cape Town are private, with your own dedicated tour guide. All tours in Kruger National Park and Victoria Falls, are shared with a maximum of 6 other guests in your safari vehicle.
