Tour Highlights

Your tour begins in Cape Town, where you can make memories on your own with four full days of open schedule. You will then head to Pilanesberg National Park, where guides await to take you on one of the park’s signature game drives. Complete your vacation with a stopover in Dubai, the glitzy nouveau capital of the United Arab Emirates. You’ll have plenty of free time to explore the city’s glistening skyscrapers and humbler desert outskirts, and you’ll cover what you missed on a half-day city tour.

• Cape Town: When you’re not haggling with the artisans at the Old Biscuit Mill, take in some outdoor beauty; situated on the waters of Table Bay, the city is near natural wonders such as the Cape of Good Hope and Table Mountain.
• Visit the trendy Victoria & Alfred Waterfront (called the V&A for short) for shopping, dining, and people watching in Cape Town’s working harbor, which dates back to 1860.
• 5-star accommodations: Meals, snacks, and drinks are part of your all-inclusive package at the luxurious Ivory Tree Game Lodge in South Africa.
• The Big Five: Your two nights in Pilanesberg National Park will give you a chance to glimpse rhinos, leopards, lions, elephants, and Cape buffalo.
• Burj Khalifa: Get a bird’s-eye view from the 124th-floor observation deck at the world’s tallest building and soak in one-of-a-kind vistas of the city.
