For guests that have the time to make the most of their trip to Southern Africa, we offer a curated collection of tour extensions designed to pair naturally with your stay. Each one is professionally guided, fully supported, and built to the same standard of care you experienced at the reserve.
Three iconic days, one unforgettable city. Four nights in Cape Town cover the highlights that matter most, from Table Mountain and the Cape Peninsula to the colorful streets of Bo-Kaap and an afternoon among the vineyards of Stellenbosch.
Five nights that give Cape Town the time it deserves. This extended itinerary moves between the city, the coastline, and the wine country, with an immersive experience in Stellenbosch, Franschhoek, and Paarl for guests who want to experience the Cape beyond its surface.
Two nights at one of the Seven Natural Wonders of the World. A guided walk through the mist of the Falls, lunch above the gorge, and an evening Zambezi River cruise round out a short but unforgettable extension.
Two nights added to your Hippo Lakes stay with a deeper cultural focus, and experiences that go beyond the reserve itself. A behind-the-scenes farm to table tour, a South African cooking experience, and more round out a stay that feels unhurried from start to finish.
All tour extensions include professional airport transfers, daily breakfasts, and an exclusive vehicle and guide for touring days – reserved solely for Hippo Lakes travelers, never shared with other guests, with no more than 10 guests per vehicle.
U.S. concierge support is available throughout your time on the ground. You plan the trip once. We handle everything from there.
