Day by day

Itinerary

  1. 1

    Johannesburg, South Africa

    Your adventure starts in Johannesburg, a vibrant city that revolves around modernity and a gold-mining history. As South Africa’s largest city, Johannesburg is home to a wide collection of cultures, museums, and attractions. As travelers’ arrival times will vary, there is no scheduled sightseeing today. Enjoy time to get settled on your own before tomorrow’s exploration into the wild. Dinner tonight is on your own.

  2. 2

    Johannesburg - Victoria Falls, Zimbabwe

    Fly to Victoria Falls today, an awe-inspiring Natural Wonder of the World. When you arrive, check in to your lodge, an authentic African tent camp with all the amenities of a luxury resort. This afternoon, when the chance to see rainbows is highest, witness the awesome power of Victoria Falls.

  3. 3

    Victoria Falls

    Embark on an experience of a lifetime. Spend some quality time watching rescued African elephants in their own habitat and witness some of their unique behaviors. After you’ve worked up an appetite, travel to a township where you will join a local family for a simple home-hosted lunch. This evening, you might choose to enjoy a leisurely cruise on the Zambezi River, taking in the majestic African sunset.

  4. 4

    Victoria Falls

    This morning, choose to take an optional scenic flight over the majestic Victoria Falls or enjoy a relaxed start at the lodge. Later, explore the town. Browse local curio shops or soak up a taste of local life. Then, take part in an Impact Moment with a visit to the Victoria Falls Wildlife Trust, where you’ll learn how its conservation initiatives are making a difference for local communities and protecting wildlife. This evening, raise a glass to the endless falls during dinner at a restaurant that offers stunning views over the Zambezi River.

  5. 5

    Victoria Falls - Chobe, Botswana

    Start your day with a visit to a traditional rural homestead, meet the village chief, and come to understand more about traditional ways of living in this part of the world. Cross the border into Botswana and arrive in Chobe, an untamed national park whose namesake river twists its way throughout the area. During a captivating safari cruise along the Chobe River, spot elephants and hippos that linger along the shores, and crocodiles basking in the sun.

  6. 6

    Chobe National Park

    On a game drive through Chobe National Park, take in diverse ecosystems and unparalleled biodiversity. After lunch, it’s your choice! Continue the wildlife search by land on an afternoon game drive -OR- venture down the river again for a different perspective on a safari cruise. Enjoy dinner upon return to the hotel, complete with some local favorites and delicacies, to discuss the sightings of the day.

  7. 7

    Chobe - Victoria Falls - Johannesburg - Pilanesberg National Park

    This morning, transfer to Victoria Falls Airport, where you will fly to Johannesburg. On arrival at Johannesburg, transfer to Pilanesberg National Park, a game reserve set within an ancient crater, where the lions reign as kings. This is the wild Africa you’ve always dreamt of, now laid out before you, just waiting to be discovered.

  8. 8

    Pilanesberg National Park

    Before sunrise, in the open expanse of Pilanesberg, drive out in search of the “Big 5” across vast marshlands and craggy landscapes. Later on, an afternoon game drive could take you past the big cats preparing for the hunt, and while you’re out there, enjoy a traditional African sundowner with a drink and watch as the sun disappears behind the mountain. Back at the lodge tonight, indulge in a Boma dinner, an authentic, outdoor dining experience.

  9. 9

    Pilanesberg National Park

    Discover the wildlife around you with another full day in Pilanesberg. On morning and afternoon game drives, continue your search for the “Big 5” and other local animals, such as giraffes or cheetahs.

  10. 10

    Pilanesberg - Cape Town, South Africa

    After one final morning game drive, depart the bush and say hello to Cape Town, South Africa’s electric cultural mecca that captivates at every turn.

  11. 11

    Cape Town

    This morning, rise gently over the South African landscape in a cable car to Table Mountain, taking in views of Cape Town, Lions Head, and historic Robben Island. Pass by historic Bo Kaap, a hillside town known for its narrow cobblestone streets lined with colorful houses. Explore the Victoria & Alfred Waterfront, a Cape Town hotspot. From heritage sites and historic landmarks to markets, shops, and restaurants, the waterfront is one of South Africa’s most compelling destinations. Tonight, you’re an honored guest in a Capetonian family’s home. Over dinner, exchange stories and get to know what everyday life is like here in Cape Town.

  12. 12

    Cape Town - Cape Winelands - Cape Town

    Sip South African specialties with a full day exploring the country’s winelands. Start in the Stellenbosch Valley and enjoy a tasting at your first winery of the day. Perhaps you’ll try the local favorite – a cross between a Pinot Noir and a Cinsaut, the Pinotage is a specialty of South Africa. Travel to the charming village of Franschhoek for lunch. Visit a second winery in the afternoon before returning to Cape Town for the evening.

  13. 13

    Cape Town

    Travel to Cape Point, the southwestern tip of Africa. Marvel at the vibrant green foliage blanketing the rocky outcrops, set as a contrast to the bright blue waves below. Set out on an easy hike down the mountain, wandering by diverse patches of native flowers. Stop at Boulders Beach for the rarest of black-tie events – a rendezvous with endangered African penguins! Tonight, gather with your fellow travelers for a farewell dinner, featuring South Africa’s beloved flavors and local specialties.

  14. 14

    Cape Town - Tour Ends

    Today, you bid farewell to your fellow travelers when you leave beautiful Cape Town. You will have access to a day room until 4:00 p.m.
