South Africa & Zimbabwe

1 itinerary · 0 open departures · 0 missions

South Africa and Zimbabwe together offer one of Africa's most diverse travel combinations, spanning vast savannahs, dramatic coastlines, and iconic wildlife reserves. South Africa draws travellers with its Big Five safari destinations like Kruger National Park, the scenic Garden Route, vibrant cities such as Cape Town and Johannesburg, and its world-renowned wine regions. Zimbabwe is home to Victoria Falls — one of the world's largest waterfalls — as well as Hwange National Park and the ancient stone ruins of Great Zimbabwe. The two countries attract independent and group travellers seeking adventure, wildlife, culture, and some of southern Africa's most spectacular landscapes.

Self-Launched Southern Africa: Cape Town, Kruger Safaris & Victoria Falls

An independent, self-launched version of G Adventures' 11-day TailorMade Southern Africa trip — Cape Town, the Cape Peninsula and winelands, a Soweto cycle tour, a self-drive or budget-backed safari in Kruger, then Victoria Falls on the Zimbabwean side. All the headline experiences (Boulders Beach penguins, Big Five game drives, Boma drumming, the falls) are bookable directly or through GetYourGuide/Klook, using hostels, lodges and budget hotels instead of a private guided group, plus local flights and shuttles instead of private tour transport. Costs are approximate per person and assume you're booking flights within Southern Africa separately.

Missions

Nobody's posted a Mission for South Africa & Zimbabwe yet — which, frankly, is an opportunity.

Wait, what's a Mission?It's not a scheduled trip with dates and a minimum group size like a Departure — it's a goal. Learn to dive, do a Muay Thai camp, live somewhere for a month and work on something, chase one very specific experience. Post it, and other people chasing the same thing find you.

Be the first to post one: "Eat the strangest thing on the menu every single day for a week and document the regret."
