This tour is designed for the first time visitor to Southern Africa. Kruger National Park is the first stop, iconic, massive ( the size of Israel) and worth a visit, followed by Shabbat in picturesque Cape Town and ending in the beautiful Victoria Falls
The tour balances the big drawcards of an iconic private safari near Kruger, followed by Shabbat in a beautiful Jewish neighbourhood of Cape Town, and a second river based safari and natural wonder highlight of Victoria Falls.
Starts every Monday at Johannesburg International airport, and ends on Wednesday back in Johannesburg International airport. This is not a group tour, but a private tour for 2 or more guests wanting the flexibility of going
“We were blown away by the food that Kosher provided. All the food was delicious, wrapped with precision and care, and the portion sizes were very generous. We wanted to thank you guys again for helping us have an absolutely incredible honeymoon and hope to work with you again in the future.” - Dan Hefter, United States

We visit 3 iconic areas: Kruger private safari, Cape Town and Victoria Falls. The hotels and lodges are all owner-run, smaller than the mass tourism options, with the warmest personal service, and the feedback is always very positive. We chose the lodges with many years of careful relationship building, and our guides and staff are also keen to show their love and appreciation for the Jewish people. The reason we took out the possible third night in Victoria Falls, is many guests, feel the day tour to Chobe National Park, is long, tedious, and not nearly as nice as the rest of the journey. We can squeeze it in for you, at the extra cost of U$ 200 per person, but it would mean rushing the tour of the falls, and having a very early breakfast on the final morning to try and squeeze in the village tour.
