Welcome to South Africa! Upon arrival in Johannesburg, you will connect to your flight to Victoria Falls. On arrival at Victoria Falls, guests will be met by our representative and transferred to the lodge. In the afternoon, embark on a relaxing sunset cruise that departs from the lodge. Guests will be transferred from the hotel to the mighty Zambezi River. The Zambezi River cruise is an incredible way to relax and see the beauty of the river. Guests may have the opportunity to see a variety of games; including hippo, crocodile, elephants, and sometimes even rhino in their home environment, and discover the many different species of bird. Here you will find great photo opportunities against spectacular African sunsets. Tonight, dinner will be served at the hotel.

Day 2: Thu Victoria Falls (B/-/D)

Location: Victoria Falls

Accommodation Name: lodge

After breakfast, the group will be collected and transferred to Victoria Falls for a guided tour of the falls. On the opposite cliff, facing the falls, you can head on the well-marked and paved walk through the rainforests. Every so often the path will open into a clear view of the falls. Further along this path, you will discover Knife Edge Bridge which affords an impressive panorama depending on the time of year. Although less can be seen for the width of the Falls during the wet season, the intense spray will provide travelers with welcome relief from the heat — but dont carry anything you dont want to get wet! The rest of the afternoon will be at your leisure to relax at the lodge. Later this evening, the group will have dinner at the lodge.

The drive will take you past the Parliament Buildings, City Hall, and the Slave Lodge; you will sense the depth of history via their distinctive architecture. Colonial will change to colorful as you move up the cobblestoned hills to the Malay Quarter, and marvel over the ice-cream colors of the quaint Bo-Kaap homes.

Thanks to Indus and Nicko...

13-Sep-2024

Thanks to Indus and Nicko Cruise for a great trip down the Danube. I had not been on a river cruise prior to this and found it a very relaxing way to travel and see some European highlights. The ship was superb. The staff served great meals, were friendly and accommodating. As far as the tours and city visits, they all gave us a reasonable amount of time and insight into the location we were visiting to come away with a sense that we had a good glimpse of the city and were able to spend some free time in the city as well. A special thanks to Dhruv our fearless leader from Indus who was a great organizer. Lastly - nice to meet all of you in our group. terry

07-Dec-2023

Booked Mystical Egypt tour with them visiting Cairo and a 03 Nights Cruise from Luxor to Aswan in May. All services were perfect since the time we arrived at the airport, we were met by a hospitable Indus Representative who helped us with the purchase of local SIM and currency exchange. He was always there in time to assist for transfers. The Amwaj Cruise which we took from Luxor to Aswan was a Gem. We had great guides and all sightseeing worked like a clockwork. We enjoyed visiting Karnak Temples, Temples of Edfu, Kom Ombo and the boat ride to see Phillae Temple. Evening entertainment on cruise were great and engaging. In Cairo and Aswan, we had ample leisure time to explore on own, the Pyramids were impressive and visiting Khan e Khalili was fun. Overall and impressive and enjoyable tour, Thanks to Indus Travels!

09-Jun-2023

Recently went on a Rhine River Cruise, a first for me. I must say the experience was exceptional, their tagline says. The group I was with were some of the most fun and interesting set of people I've ever traveled with. The ground transportation arrangements were top notch and comfortable. Variety in menu that we were provided with in the cruise was astounding. I was a bit worried if they'd have much options for me as I'm a vegetarian. But they not only had options, the taste was something I'd savor for foreseeable future. There's a reason Rhine cruises are popular owing to it's serene and picturesque route. Guided tours were very informative and gave us a bit of an insight of German culture. We had good amount of time to explore the towns on our own too. Strasbourg and Cochem were my favorite stops. Luckily the weather worked in our favour and it didn't rain the way it was predicted originally. No one from our group wanted the tour to end. If this trip was any indication, I can't wait to book my next trip with Indus Travels.

04-Mar-2024

Indus Travel runs a highly professional organization. From customer service to brochures, bookings, tour guides, etc. and the consideration for their customers is superb. This was the first time I had travelled with Indus Travels. We took the Taste of Portugal Tour. Group numbers are small, accommodation comfortable and food excellent. The expert guide who accompanied us was outstanding - passionate, informative, engaging, and entertaining. This company is obviously at the heart of the itinerary planning, and attention to detail is second to none. I would highly recommend this company to anyone wanting a fun, relaxed, educational vacation with fine food - they will deliver! We will never forget this trip and we are already planning for another one to Wonders of Italy, Vienna, Budapest, and Prague.

We were looking for a customized, small group tour. We took a chance on Indus without knowing much about the company. We just returned from our trip to Greece and are more than highly please and satisfied with our experience. They planned an amazing itinerary, booked amazing hotels, hired knowledgeable tour guides and arranged high quality transportation services. Everyone went above and beyond to please us. We are already planning a trip for next year (2024) and will definitely use Indus to do so.
