Safari Dreams Begin at Baobab Ridge, Klaserie

4 nights | Baobab Ridge Lodge | Greater Kruger, South Africa

Your Ultimate African Safari starts deep in the Klaserie Private Nature Reserve, part of the Greater Kruger ecosystem, where wild Africa still beats in its most authentic rhythm. At Baobab Ridge, guests enjoy an intimate safari experience with just seven private suites, incredible cuisine, and warm South African hospitality.

Here, game drives are not merely sightings—they’re storytelling. Led by professional rangers and trackers, you’ll search for the Big Five (lion, leopard, rhino, elephant, and buffalo), hear the whoop of hyenas under starlit skies, and follow the winding trails of giraffe, wild dog, and zebra.

Expect twice-daily game drives, fireside dining, panoramic bush views, and the kind of soul-stirring wildlife moments that redefine what it means to truly be in Africa.

Why it’s special: Baobab Ridge offers exclusivity and expert guiding in an unfenced wilderness—perfect for those who want their safari raw yet refined.

Urban Chic Meets African Soul in Cape Town

4 nights | Radisson RED Hotel | Cape Town, South Africa

After the pulse of the wild, Cape Town welcomes you with open arms and sweeping ocean views. You’ll check in at the trendy Radisson RED, located at the vibrant V&A Waterfront. With its rooftop bar, artful design, and proximity to Cape Town’s best dining, culture, and shopping, it’s the perfect base to explore one of the world’s most iconic cities. This is the perfect spot to use as a home base during your Ultimate African Safari.

Ride the cable car up Table Mountain, sip wine in the Cape Winelands, stroll through Bo-Kaap, or enjoy a scenic drive to Cape Point. The city offers a rich blend of history, scenery, and contemporary African flair.

Why it’s special:  This leg of the trip balances wild adventure with cosmopolitan luxury, giving you time to recharge, indulge, and dive into South Africa’s diverse culture.

Power and Wonder at Victoria Falls

2 nights | Victoria Falls Safari Lodge | Zimbabwe`

From Cape Town, your journey continues to one of the Seven Natural Wonders of the World—Victoria Falls. Known locally as Mosi-oa-Tunya, or “The Smoke That Thunders,” this UNESCO World Heritage Site is breathtaking in every sense.

You’ll stay at the award-winning Victoria Falls Safari Lodge, perched on a plateau overlooking a busy waterhole frequented by elephants, kudu, and buffalo. Sunset views from the deck are unmatched.

Whether you opt for a helicopter flight over the falls, a sunset cruise on the Zambezi River, or a local village visit, the experience is immersive, humbling, and awe-inspiring.

Why it’s special: Few places offer such powerful natural beauty combined with world-class hospitality and adventure activities.

Chobe’s Elephant Kingdom

2 nights | Chobe Bakwena Lodge | Botswana

Your final stop brings you to the Chobe River, one of Botswana’s most wildlife-rich regions. Chobe Bakwena Lodge, an eco-luxury hideaway near Kasane, offers riverfront serenity with sustainability at its core.

Here, elephants rule. You’ll witness massive herds during boat cruises and game drives, especially during the dry season. Hippos snort beside your boat, crocodiles lounge in the shallows, and the birdlife is spectacular.

Game drives in Chobe National Park—renowned for its predator sightings—are thrilling, but it’s the water-based safaris that often steal the show. Sundowners on the deck, local cuisine infused with flair, and the tranquil pulse of the Chobe River bring your African adventure to the perfect close.

Why it’s special:  Chobe Bakwena blends eco-conscious values with five-star charm, letting you end your journey with grace and gratitude.
