This 15-day journey through South Africa and Zimbabwe offers an expertly curated combination of cultural discovery, natural beauty, and premium comfort. Beginning in Cape Town, guests will explore the city’s iconic landmarks, coastal scenery, and vibrant heritage before travelling to the Cederberg Mountains and Cape Winelands, where fine cuisine, wine tasting, and scenic landscapes define the experience.
In the rugged wilderness of the Cederberg, travellers encounter one of Southern Africa’s most remarkable cultural treasures — the ancient San rock art sites that reveal the stories, spirituality, and artistry of the region’s earliest inhabitants. These ochre-painted images, some thousands of years old, offer a profound connection to the deep human history of the landscape.
Continuing north, the adventure moves into Zimbabwe for an authentic safari in Hwange National Park, home to an impressive diversity of wildlife and renowned for its elephant populations. The journey concludes with a visit to Victoria Falls, one of the world’s great natural wonders.
Designed for a small group of twelve travellers, South Africa & Zimbabwe by Design combines seamless logistics, quality accommodations, and enriching guided experiences to showcase the best of both countries in comfort and style.
