Southern Africa: 3 Countries – South Africa, Botswana & Namibia (14-Day Tour)

Gather at Toronto Pearson International Airport and board your international flight to Cape Town, South Africa’s second-largest city.

Upon arrival, begin your city tour with a visit to one of South Africa’s most iconic landmarks, Table Mountain, often referred to as “God’s Dining Table.”

Take a 360-degree rotating cable car to the top and enjoy a breathtaking panoramic view of the vibrant city below. The unique rock formations atop the mountain create a natural geological museum. (Note: If weather conditions such as heavy fog prevent the cable car from operating, the visit will be replaced with a drive to Signal Hill for a distant view of Table Mountain.)

After breakfast at the hotel, take a 30-minute boat ride around Seal Island (landing not permitted). Witness hundreds of seals, seagulls, and other seabirds in their natural habitat — a truly rare experience. (Note: Boat rides are subject to weather conditions.)

Then head to Boulders Beach, famous for its colony of African penguins — a must-visit for photography enthusiasts.

Drive through Hout Bay, with views of the stunning 12 Apostles Mountain Range, and continue to the southwestern tip of the African continent — the Cape of Good Hope, one of South Africa’s most famous landmarks.

Take a cable car up to the lighthouse for a sweeping view of the dramatic meeting point of the Atlantic and Indian Oceans.

Visit World of Birds, the largest bird park in Africa, home to over 3,000 species of birds and small animals — a top attraction in Cape Town.

Explore the historic Bo-Kaap neighborhood, famous for its vibrant, colorful houses and rich Cape Malay heritage.

Then head to one of Cape Town’s renowned wine regions for a complimentary wine tasting experience.

After breakfast, fly to Maun, Botswana — gateway to the world-renowned Okavango Delta. Upon arrival, board a small aircraft for an unforgettable aerial tour over the largest and most beautiful inland delta in the world.

Check in at a camp-style tented lodge or similar for an immersive safari experience.

Set out early for a full-day adventure in the Okavango Delta.

After breakfast, travel by coach to Windhoek, the capital of Namibia.
Upon arrival, enjoy a city tour followed by dinner and hotel check-in.

Known as Africa’s cleanest garden capital, Windhoek offers a strong European flair amid vibrant flowers and manicured landscapes.
Situated at an elevation of 1,728 meters in Namibia’s central highlands, it is also called the “City in the Mountains.”

With a population of around 200,000, Windhoek is Namibia’s largest city and serves as the country’s political, economic, cultural, and transportation hub.

After breakfast, travel to Sossusvlei, located within Namibia’s ancient salt pan desert park, globally renowned for its vivid red sand dunes.

The color of the sand shifts throughout the day with the sunlight, making it one of the most photogenic deserts in the world and a favorite among photographers and adventurers.

Sossusvlei is home to the world’s tallest and oldest sand dunes, some rising to 325 meters.

The breathtaking star-shaped formations and vast landscapes have been featured multiple times in National Geographic and other world-renowned publications.

After checking into the hotel, enjoy some rest.
In the afternoon, you may opt for the optional “Sundowner” activity (ride off-road vehicles to search for wildlife, enjoy the spectacular desert sunset with drinks and champagne).

After breakfast, set out on foot into Namibia’s red desert to visit the iconic Dead Vlei — known for its ancient, fossilized trees and towering red dunes.

Here, you may even climb the tallest dune in the world.
As the morning sun rises, the scenery resembles a dreamlike painting, with golden-orange sands lighting up the land.

After lunch, drive to the charming coastal town of Swakopmund.

After breakfast, visit the Crystal Gallery, home to the world’s largest quartz crystal and a true national treasure of Namibia.

Enjoy free time for leisurely shopping and relaxing in Swakopmund’s quaint town center.

Then proceed to Walvis Bay, where you may join an optional excursion to explore the “Bird Paradise” aboard a shuttle bus — spot flamingos, visit the famous Pink Lake, and witness the magnificent coastal sunset.

After breakfast, embark on a scenic cruise to view the thriving seal colonies.
Sail to Pelican Point, a well-known cape, where you’ll enjoy a tasting of fresh oysters, champagne, and a selection of local delicacies right on the boat.
