Join Collins Tours for an extraordinary 16-day African journey that combines world-class safaris, elegant 5-star lodges, and some of the continent's most breathtaking landscapes. This exclusive adventure perfectly blends luxury, wildlife, and culture for an unforgettable experience.

Your journey begins in Johannesburg with an overnight stay at a comfortable airport hotel, allowing you to relax before your flight to the renowned Kruger region. From there, you'll spend three unforgettable nights at the luxurious 5-star Thornybush Game Lodge, located on a private reserve bordering Kruger National Park. Famous for exceptional wildlife viewing—including frequent leopard sightings—this is one of Africa's premier safari destinations and your opportunity to encounter the legendary "Big Five": lions, leopards, rhinoceroses, elephants, and African buffalo.

Your stay at Thornybush includes all meals, beverages, conservation fees, and staff gratuities. Enjoy expertly guided morning and evening game drives, relax in your luxurious suite or by the pool between safaris, and savour exceptional dining paired with the lodge's renowned hospitality.

Next, continue to cosmopolitan Cape Town, beautifully situated between the Atlantic Ocean and the iconic Table Mountain. Spend three nights at the elegant Westin Cape Town, ideally located near the vibrant V&A Waterfront. Discover the city's highlights on a guided tour, ascend Table Mountain by cable car for spectacular panoramic views, journey along the scenic Cape Peninsula, and visit the charming penguin colony at Boulders Beach. An included wine tasting at a celebrated local vineyard offers the perfect introduction to South Africa's world-renowned wine country. You'll also enjoy a free day to explore at your own pace—perhaps strolling the waterfront, or simply relaxing at your hotel.

From Cape Town, fly to Namibia, where an entirely different landscape awaits. Spend three nights at the spectacular Sossusvlei Desert Lodge, surrounded by towering red sand dunes, endless desert vistas, and some of the clearest night skies on Earth. Your stay includes gourmet dining, beverages, conservation fees, and staff gratuities, along with guided excursions that showcase one of the world's most extraordinary desert environments. Experience unforgettable sunsets, remarkable scenery, and peaceful moments beneath a canopy of stars.

Your safari continues with three nights at the exclusive 5-star Onguma The Fort Lodge, overlooking the legendary Etosha National Park. Inspired by North African architecture and offering panoramic views across the surrounding wilderness, this exceptional lodge provides the perfect base for discovering Namibia's remarkable wildlife. Included are all meals, beverages, conservation fees, and staff gratuities, along with expertly guided morning and evening game drives through Etosha's vast salt pans and acacia woodlands, where elephants, lions, and countless other species roam freely.

Your incredible African adventure concludes with a final overnight stay in Johannesburg before your journey home.

With luxury accommodations throughout, exceptional dining, premium inclusions, expertly guided safaris, and unforgettable encounters, this exclusive Collins Tours experience is the ultimate way to discover Southern Africa in comfort and style.
