Самостоятельное путешествие по Южной Африке с водопадом Виктория – 11 дней

The price covers all accommodation throughout the 11‑day itinerary, daily breakfast plus selected lunches and dinners, private guided activities such as the Table Mountain cable‑car ride, game drives in Greater Kruger with a professional ranger, the Zambezi River sunset cruise, and the guided walk at Victoria Falls. It also includes all ground transfers, domestic flights between Cape Town, Kruger and Johannesburg, entrance fees to museums and parks, and a sundowner drink during the Kruger afternoon drive. Additional services such as airport transfers and transport are part of the package.

No. The tour price does not include the international flight from your home country to Cape Town or the return flight from Johannesburg to your departure airport. Those flights must be booked separately by the traveller.

Optional expenses such as personal souvenirs, extra beverages not listed in the itinerary, tips for guides and drivers, and any additional excursions not mentioned are not included. If you require a private airport transfer from a location other than Cape Town International Airport, that would be an extra cost. Also, any visa fees, travel insurance premiums, and personal medical expenses are the responsibility of the traveller.

Yes. The operator allows a two‑installment plan: a 30 % deposit is due at the time of booking to secure your place, and the remaining 70 % must be paid no later than 60 days before the departure date. Payment can be made by credit card or bank transfer. Contact the booking office for any alternative payment arrangements.

Cancellations made more than 60 days before the start date receive a full refund minus a €100 administrative fee. Cancellations between 30 and 59 days prior are refunded at 50 % of the total price. Cancellations less than 30 days before departure are non‑refundable. All refunds are processed to the original payment method.

Travel insurance is not mandatory for booking, but the operator strongly recommends it. Coverage should include medical expenses, emergency evacuation, trip interruption, and personal belongings. Some activities, such as the Zambezi River cruise, may require proof of insurance before participation.

The tour begins on the pre‑selected departure date, typically with an early morning arrival in Cape Town where a transfer to the hotel is arranged. Each day follows a structured pattern: morning activity (e.g., game drive or city tour), lunch (often on‑board or at a local venue), afternoon activity, and dinner at the hotel or a designated restaurant. Exact start times vary by location, but most mornings start around 8:00 am and evenings conclude by 8:30 pm.

The meeting point is the arrivals hall of Cape Town International Airport, where a representative will greet you and escort you to the pre‑booked transfer. Both the arrival transfer from the airport to the hotel and the departure transfer from Johannesburg to the airport at the end of the tour are included in the price.

For the domestic flights between Cape Town, Kruger and Johannesburg, each passenger is allowed one checked bag up to 23 kg and one carry‑on bag not exceeding 7 kg. On coach transfers, you may bring two pieces of hand luggage (maximum 10 kg each) and a small personal item. Excess baggage may incur additional fees.

Yes. The itinerary includes several periods of free time, such as a late‑afternoon break after the Table Mountain cable‑car ride, a few hours before the evening sundowner in Kruger, and an evening in Johannesburg before the next day's activities. These gaps allow you to explore nearby shops, relax at the hotel, or take optional short excursions on your own.

Visa requirements depend on your nationality. South Africa and Zimbabwe each have their own entry rules, and some passports require a visa for one or both countries. The tour operator does not provide visa services, so you should check the latest requirements with the South African and Zimbabwean embassies or consulates well before departure.

Your passport must be valid for at least six months beyond the date of your final departure from Johannesburg. This is a standard requirement for both South Africa and Zimbabwe, and it helps avoid entry problems at the border or during airport checks.

Travel insurance is not compulsory for booking, but it is highly recommended. At a minimum, the policy should cover medical expenses, emergency evacuation, trip cancellation or interruption, and loss of personal belongings. Some activities, such as the Zambezi River cruise, may ask for proof of coverage before you can board.

The tour is family‑friendly. Most activities, including the penguin colony visit, Cape of Good Hope stop, and game drives, are appropriate for children aged six and older. Younger children can join most parts of the itinerary, though the longer game drives and the Victoria Falls walk involve moderate walking and may be less comfortable for toddlers.

A moderate level of fitness is sufficient. Participants should be able to sit for up to four hours during game drives and walk on uneven surfaces for about 30 minutes on the Victoria Falls trail. There is no strenuous hiking, but you should be comfortable with occasional short walks and standing for photo opportunities.

The itinerary is designed with a relaxed pace, making it suitable for most senior travelers who are in good health and can manage moderate walking and vehicle travel. There is no strict upper age limit, but participants should be able to handle the daily schedule, including the game drives and the short walk at Victoria Falls. A medical clearance is advisable for anyone with mobility concerns.

In Cape Town you will experience a private guided cable‑car ride up Table Mountain, a visit to Boulders Beach to see the African penguin colony, a stop at the Cape of Good Hope for photographs, a funicular ride to the Cape Point lighthouse, and a scenic drive along Chapman's Peak Drive. These sites showcase the city’s natural beauty and coastal landmarks.

The game drives, led by a professional ranger and tracker, focus on spotting the Big Five—lion, leopard, elephant, buffalo, and rhino—along with a variety of antelope species, giraffe, hippo, and abundant birdlife. Each day includes a morning drive and an afternoon drive, with the latter featuring a sundowner drink while you watch wildlife in the golden light.

Yes. The itinerary combines the most iconic sights—Cape Town’s coastline, a Kruger safari, cultural visits in Johannesburg, and a guided walk at Victoria Falls—while handling all logistics, transfers, and expert guidance. First‑time travelers benefit from the structured schedule, knowledgeable guides, and the convenience of having accommodation, meals and transport already arranged.

Travelers who want a mix of city culture, wildlife safari, and a world‑renowned waterfall will find the most value. Families, wildlife enthusiasts, and those celebrating holidays such as Christmas or New Year appreciate the private, partially guided format that offers flexibility while still providing expert insights and seamless transfers.

Ensure your passport is valid for at least six months, obtain any required visas, and purchase comprehensive travel insurance. Pack lightweight, breathable clothing for warm days, a warm layer for evenings and the waterfall walk, sturdy walking shoes, a hat, sunscreen, insect repellent, and a pair of binoculars. Bring a universal power adapter and consider a small amount of local currency for tips and optional purchases.

Planning the same route on your own could be cheaper if you find low‑cost flights and self‑drive options, but you would need to arrange park permits, private guides, transfers, and the Zambezi cruise separately. The guided price of €4,593.29 includes accommodation, most meals, all internal transport, park fees, professional guides, and a curated itinerary, which often offsets the effort and hidden costs of independent planning.

It is possible to visit the major sites independently, but you would need to coordinate flights, secure park entry permits, hire local guides for wildlife interpretation, and arrange the Zambezi River cruise yourself. Without a guide, you may miss expert insights about animal behavior, historical context at Victoria Falls, and the convenience of pre‑booked transfers, which can affect both safety and overall enjoyment.
