Land Programs & Hotels

  • Become immersed in the life of Nelson Mandela by visiting attractions that lend great insight into his early days as an anti-apartheid revolutionary and how that experience led to his eventual election as President of South Africa.

    This very special program is for a small group of no more than six guests.

    Special Note: This program begins in Johannesburg; therefore, arrival flights must be into the Johannesburg O.R. Tambo International Airport.

    Guests travelling with Portable Oxygen Concentrators (POC) or CPAP breathing machines should read further below for airline stipulations with regards to bringing this equipment on tour.

    Day 1

    Upon arrival at Johannesburg’s O.R. Tambo International Airport, you will be met and assisted through passport control and baggage claim. You will then be transferred to the boutique hotel Sanctuary Mandela. Check-in is at 2:00pm. Although every effort will be made to have rooms available sooner, this cannot be guaranteed. Guests with early-arriving flights may wish to book an extra night so that your room is available upon arrival.

    Mandela lived in at the property in the late 1990s after being released from prison for his role in South Africa’s anti-apartheid movement. The estate later became the headquarters for the Nelson Mandela Foundation. It has been converted into a luxury hotel decorated with Mandela memorabilia.

    The hotel restaurant, where you will dine, features a menu of Mandela’s favorite dishes prepared by his longtime chef. The meal and the experience of spending the evening in Mandela’s former residence will be highly memorable.

    Day 2

    After breakfast and check-out from the Sanctuary Mandela hotel, you will embark on a tour of Soweto, the township that became known as the epicenter of the anti-apartheid movement. You will see the house on Vilakazi Street where Mandela lived from 1946 until his arrest in 1962. Archbishop Desmond Tutu also lived on the street, which is now the only street in the world that has been home to two Nobel Peace Prize laureates.

    You will also browse the Hector Pieterson Museum, a space dedicated to the commemoration of the high school students that led a peaceful march in 1976 that ended in a violent confrontation with the police. Hector Pieterson, a 12-year-old schoolboy, was shot and killed while protesting. Expect the museum visit to be an eye-opening and emotionally moving experience.

    Soweto’s heritage site Kliptown Museum marks the spot where delegates to a people’s parliament met in 1955 to adopt the Freedom Charter. This founding document became the cornerstone of the Bill of Rights and South African Constitution. Kliptown was strategically chosen for the meeting place because it was a multiracial area between Soweto and Johannesburg.

    Following lunch at a restaurant in Soweto, you will transfer to the O.R. Tambo Airport for the flight to Cape Town.

    Note: See further below for luggage information on your flight.

    Upon arriving in Cape Town, you will transfer to the Cape Grace, a luxurious hotel on the V&A Waterfront where you will spend the evening. This cultural and historical area offers abundant opportunities for shopping and dining.

    Dinner, however, will be served at the Cape Grace. To make the experience even more special and meaningful, someone that knew Nelson Mandela will be in attendance. That person may be Christo Brand, a former prison guard from Robben Island, the brutal maximum-security facility where Mandela was held for 18 years.

    Day 3

    Following breakfast at the hotel, you will enjoy a short walk to the V&A Waterfront and board the ferry to Robben Island. Now a UNESCO World Heritage site, the island has a notorious past. For centuries, it was used to house lepers, the mentally challenged and political prisoners such as Nelson Mandela and anti-apartheid activist-poet Dennis Brutus. The prison there closed in 2011.

    While touring the rocky island, you will learn about its infamous history and present population, which is primarily seabirds and African penguins.

    After returning to the mainland on the ferry, you will walk to Nobel Square to view life-size sculptures of South Africa’s four Nobel Peace Prize laureates: Nelson Mandela, Desmond Tutu, former state president of South Africa FW de Klerk, and Albert Luthuli, an anti-apartheid activist.

    A 3-course lunch follows at a restaurant overlooking Nobel Square. Christo Brand may join you there.

    After lunch, you will head for the Mandela Rhodes Place with the tour guide and Christo Brand, both of whom will elaborate on the building’s historical importance. Mining magnate and founder of the DeBeers diamond company, Cecil John Rhodes constructed the building, which now houses the Mandela Rhodes Foundation. This organization funds and empowers young Africans to serve their societies through education, entrepreneurship and leadership.

    You will also visit the Cape Town City Hall and Grand Parade public square, where Mandela addressed the crowds a few hours after his release from prison in 1990. It was here that Mandela declared his commitment to reconciliation but warned that the armed struggle would continue as “a purely defensive action against the violence of apartheid.”

    Later in the afternoon, you will return to the hotel and enjoy the remainder of the evening at your leisure with dinner on your own.

    Day 4

    After breakfast at the hotel and check-out, you will visit the Vergelegen Wine Estate, which was founded in 1700. It is so representative of the Cape culture that the estate has been declared a Provincial Heritage site. You will be free to meander through the estate and themed gardens before enjoying a wine tasting and charcuterie plate.

    You will then return to Cape Town and embark your awaiting cruise ship.

  • Explore Barcelona and Girona in depth by visiting their architectural landmarks and prior to embarkation, discover one of Gaudí´s best kept secrets including a and visit to a renowned wine cellar to taste authentic cava.

    Note: Due to the amount of walking, possibly over cobbled areas, this program is not recommended for guests who use a wheelchair, walker or cane or have any other mobility restrictions.

    Day 1:

    Upon arriving at the Barcelona International Airport, you will meet your local English-speaking driver outside the luggage pick-up area who will then accompany you to your hotel.

    At check-in, you will receive a Welcome Letter with details on your daily tours and the hospitality desk hours.

    Meals are on your own today.

    Day 2:

    After breakfast, meet your local guide who will introduce you the city of Barcelona. Begin with a guided tour of the city. You will pass the Columbus monument and the waterfront on the way to Sagrada Familia, the extraordinary still-unfinished church that famed architect Antoni Gaudí worked on until his death in 1926. The guide will explain the history of the church and its lengthy ongoing construction during your outside visit.

    Continuing, you will begin a walking tour of the Gothic Quarter, passing landmarks such as the La Seu Cathedral and city hall. A more sweeping view of Barcelona awaits you upon reaching Mount Juic hill, where you may pause for photos. You will then visit Spanish Village, an open-air museum with replicas of characteristic houses from throughout Spain. As you meander the grounds, you may observe artists such as glassblowers demonstrating their talents.

    A tapas-style lunch follows, after which you will check into your hotel to spend the first of three nights. The remainder of the day will be at your leisure.

    Day 3:

    After breakfast, you will settle in for a direct transfer to Girona, accompanied by a guide. Northern Catalonia’s largest city, Girona is full of museums, galleries and Gothic churches, strung around a tangle of cobbled lanes and medieval walls.

    After breakfast and check-out from the hotel, meet your guide and depart for a visit to Colonia Guell, one of Gaudí's most emblematic works for the architectural solutions he used. Businessman Eusebio Güell commissioned Gaudí to build a church for his textile factory workers in the village of Santa Coloma de Cervelló. This job allowed the architect to try out many of the practical solutions he would employ in later projects. This Church is one of the seven properties Gaudí built near Barcelona that are Unesco World Heritage Sites.

    Continue to Cavas Freixenet whose cellars were set up in Sant Sadurní d'Anoia (Catalonia, Spain), a town situated in the heart of the Penedès region, well-known from the era of the Roman Empire, for the quality of the wines produced there.

    In the 20’s and 30’s, the energy of the founders and their confidence in the quality of their products had achieved fame for the company. By the beginning of the 1970s Freixenet was well established in the Spanish market as a strong brand with a clear vocation to expand on the international stage. Visit the premises and learn the history of the brand and its wines. Enjoy a cocktail style light lunch of local specialties before returning to Barcelona for embarkation.

  • Observe iconic African wildlife in Aquila Game Reserve, enjoy breathtaking views of Cape Town from atop Table Mountain and spend another day exploring the city on your own – all immensely fulfilling experiences.

    DAY 1

    Disembark in Cape Town and meet your tour guide for a tour and transfer to your hotel. En-route, visit Table Mountain, the city’s most celebrated landmark!

    Travel up Kloof Nek, the saddle between Table Mountain and Lions Head, to the lower cableway station. Ascend from the Valley Station (363 m) to the Mountain Station (1 060 m) in a Swiss engineered Rotair cable car. The journey from the base to the summit takes just under 4 minutes and one can enjoy spectacular views, as the floor of the car rotates 360 degrees during the ascent and descent.

    Table Mountain gets her name from the flat-topped central massif of the mountain, which, viewed from the city, is surrounded by Devil’s Peak on the left, Lion’s Head on the right and Signal Hill in the foreground. They form a sort of amphitheater that encloses the city center and some of the older suburbs. Other earlier suburbs are on either side of the chain of mountains, which run like a spine through the Cape Peninsula, from Table Mountain to Cape Point – the cape from which Cape Town gets its name.

    From the summit, the natural protected area stretching from Signal Hill to Cape Point has been managed under the custodianship of the National Parks Board. This area has one of the highest concentrations of endemic plant and animal species in any area of its size, containing a staggering 2 285 plant species – more than the entire U.K.

    Upon descent, re-board your vehicle and transfer to your hotel. Check-in on arrival (official check-in time is 2:00pm). Although every effort will be made to have rooms available before this time this cannot be guaranteed.

    Spend the afternoon at leisure. Consider a stroll to the Victoria & Alfred Waterfront where shops, restaurants and entertainment are plenty. Lunch and dinner are on your own.

    Note: the cable car ride to the top of Table Mountain is weather dependent. If not possible due to high winds a stop will be made at a viewing area near the cable car base for photos.

    Following an early breakfast at your hotel, depart on a 2.5-hour road transfer to Aquila Game Reserve or similar.

After some free time to browse through the well-stocked curio shop, depart for a return transfer to Cape Town.

    The remainder of the day will be at your leisure and dinner is on your own.

    DAY 3

    Spend today at leisure, exploring the beautiful ‘Mother City’ at your own pace. Consider a ferry trip to Robben Island (individually made pre-bookings are essential via the Robben Island Ferry website), an open Red Top bus trip to numerous destinations, a hike up Lion’s Head, Wine tasting in the Winelands, or simply visiting numerous attractive beaches such as Camps Bay, Blouberg Beach or similar.

    Special Note: Any guests travelling with Portable Oxygen Concentrators (POC) or CPAP breathing machines should read further below for airline stipulations with regards to bringing this equipment on tour.

    DAY 1

    Disembark in Cape Town, meet your guide and transfer to your city-based hotel. En-route you will have an orientation tour. Check in is at 2:00pm and although every effort will be made to have rooms available before this time, this cannot be guaranteed. Luggage storage will be available should you wish to head into the city to explore on your own.

    Your hotel is located in the bustling Victoria and Alfred Waterfront where you will find a wide array of shopping and dining options. Lunch and dinner are on your own today.

    DAY 2

    After breakfast and check out, transfer to the Cape Town airport for a flight to Victoria Falls, Zimbabwe.

    As guests may only bring one piece of checked luggage per person, excess luggage (1 piece per person) will be shipped via courier to Johannesburg where you will be re-united with it on Day 5. Make sure to pack accordingly and bring any medications and cruise documents with you.

    Upon arriving in Victoria Falls, proceed through Customs and Immigration. You will then be met and transferred to the Victoria Falls Hotel. Note: Visas are required for Zimbabwe and can be purchased at the airport upon arrival.

    After check-in, transfer to the Zambezi River and embark on a sunset cruise (shared departure). Depending on the size of the group the boat may either be a covered single level sightseeing boat or a larger boat with multiple levels. Enjoy a beverage from this vantage point whilst watching the sunset and possibly sighting hippos, crocodiles, various birdlife and maybe even an elephant or two along the banks of the river.

    Your boat cruise is followed up with dinner back at the hotel.

    DAY 3

    After breakfast and check out, transfer to the Victoria Falls Rainforest where you will have a guided walk.

    Located on the border between Zambia and Zimbabwe, Victoria Falls is the world’s largest curtain of falling water, based on the falls’ one-mile width and height of 360 feet. It’s an amazing spectacle to watch as the Zambezi River roars over the edge of a basalt gorge, forming what locals call Mosi-Oa-Tunya or “the smoke that thunders”. In November 1885, after seeing the falls for the first time, Scottish explorer and Doctor David Livingstone re-named them after Queen Victoria.

    A path along the edge of the rainforest provides visitors with an unparalleled series of views of the falls but be prepared to get wet from the tremendous spray!

    NOTE: the cobblestone walkways within the rainforest can be slippery if wet and some spots are at a gradient. Proper walking shoes that have a good grip should be worn, and guests should wear appropriate clothing to get wet. Due to the amount of walking and terrain, this program is not suited for guests who have walking difficulty or who utilize a wheelchair or scooter. Walking distance will be 2-4km (1.24 – 2.48 miles).

    Continue by road across the Zimbabwe – Botswana border to Chobe Game Lodge - an elegant, five-star, fully Ecotourism-certified safari lodge and the only property located inside the world-renowned Chobe National Park and set on the banks of the famous Chobe River.

    Enjoy limitless views from the boardwalk overlooking a wildlife-rich floodplain to the eats and the Chobe River to the west. Dine in one of several areas around the lodge and enjoy your spacious room with its own terrace facing the Chobe River. Inside the rooms are all the amenities and comforts you expect from a luxury safari lodge. The en-suite bathrooms include a large bath and separate shower, while air-conditioners and overhead fans ensure you have a comfortable stay.

    Check in, enjoy lunch at the lodge and then some free time to get acquainted with your surroundings.

    A bit later in the day, gather in the main lodge for tea and snacks followed by a game drive in Chobe National Park. Safaris are conducted in 4x4 open side vehicles and led by qualified professional guides who will bring you close to hippos, buffalos, puku and other animals that gather on the banks of the Chobe River. Naturally, elephants, lion and leopard are also found in the area.

    Return to your lodge thereafter for dinner and overnight.

    DAY 4

    After an early-morning wake-up call and coffee and tea in the lobby, you will embark on a morning game drive in 4x4 open-air safari vehicles.

    Along with elephant, lion, leopard and buffalo, Chobe is also home to two antelope that aren’t encountered anywhere else in Botswana, the puku and the Chobe bushbuck. Declared a national park in 1967, Chobe was the first one established in Botswana and now covers more than 4,500 square miles of dry savannah, floodplains, and teak woodlands that are ideal animal habitats.

    Returning from your morning safari, a full breakfast will be served after which you will have free time to do as you wish at the lodge.

    Following lunch, you will embark on a cruise down the Chobe River – this is the ideal time to keep a look out for animals coming to the river for water.

    Later dinner will be served at the lodge.

    DAY 5

    After enjoying one last optional game drive and breakfast, check-out from the lodge and transfer to the Kasane Airport for a flight to Johannesburg.

    Upon arrival at Johannesburg’s OR Tambo International Airport, you will be met and assisted through passport control and baggage claim. You will then be escorted your hotel where you will spend the remainder of the day at leisure. Your hotel is located within walking distance of the terminal.

    You will be reunited with any luggage that was shipped from Cape Town.

    DAY 6

    Enjoy breakfast at your hotel. Check out time is 11:00am. You will be assisted on the walk to the Johannesburg Airport terminal based on your flight schedule. Should you have a late flight, luggage storage will be available at the hotel or alternatively you may wish to purchase an extra night to guarantee a room for the day.

    *The contents and order of the activities in this program are subject to change by the lodge management without prior notice, due to the prevailing weather conditions and movement of dangerous wildlife in the Chobe National Park.

    *The roads in the game reserve are gravel. There are also inclines, and certain parts of the game drive can be bumpy. This program is not recommended for guests with back problems.

    *Bring warm clothing, as the evenings and early mornings are chilly.

    *This program is not fully guided. Local representatives will assist you with your transfers and you will have a guide at Victoria Falls, however, the game drive and Chobe River cruise at the lodge and is run solely and at the discretion by the lodge/hotel staff.

    *The water levels at Victoria Falls are season dependent. ‘Low Water’ runs between August and January and is at its lowest between November and early December. This is the time when there is very little spray and visitors are able to fully appreciate the geological formation of Victoria Falls and the full length and breadth of them.

    Expected Weather:

    South Africa’s seasons are the reverse of those in the northern hemisphere. Midwinter is in June and midsummer at hottest temperatures in December and January. The climate varies from region to region but is generally mild throughout the year. The average daily temperature is 30°C and nighttime temperatures can drop to approximately 14°C.

    The arrival of the rains trigger a dispersal of game from the Chobe River area but the warm, rainy December to March summer months are the best time to visit Chobe for bird watching, the impala birthing season (great for predators!) and to see the Savute zebra migration.

    In Zimbabwe and Botswana, during summer (October – April), days are hot and generally sunny in the morning with possible afternoon thunderstorms. Daytime temperatures can rise to 30ºC (86 ºF) and night temperatures drop to around 14ºC (57.2 ºF) - 16ºC (60.8 ºF). The temperatures given are those for the main centers but it is considerably warmer all year round in the low-lying areas such as Kariba, Victoria Falls, and the Zambezi Valley. The rainy season runs from November to March, although the Eastern Highlands are damp for most of the year.

    What to Bring:

    Light cotton tops and cotton trousers and shorts in summer. Safari trousers and warm fleece tops for evenings and cooler days. Swimwear, a hat, sunglasses, sunscreen, comfortable walking shoes, camera, film and chargers, personal toiletries and anti-malaria prophylaxis.

    DAY 1

    After disembarking in Cape Town, you will meet your guide for a brief city orientation tour en-route to the Grande Roche Hotel. This historic hotel boasts views of mountain ranges and rows of lush vineyards as well as having beautifully manicured gardens and innovative cuisine.

    Upon arrival at your hotel, the remainder of the day will be at your leisure with lunch on your own.

    Check in is 2:00pm. Although every effort will be made to have rooms ready before this time, this cannot be guaranteed, however, luggage can be stored at the reception desk so you can begin exploring the estate and its surrounds right away.

    This evening, you will enjoy a wine pairing 3-course dinner at the hotel.

    DAY 2

    *For operational reasons beyond our control, the originally advertised Salt and Wine tasting at Waterford Wine Estate has been replaced with the below itinerary.

    Following breakfast, you will meet your tour guide in the hotel lobby and then depart for a full-day tour of the Cape Winelands featuring Stellenbosch, the Town of Oaks and the second-oldest town in South Africa.

    Stellenbosch is a university town famous for its carefully preserved architectural heritage, which includes examples of Cape Dutch, Georgian and Victorian styles, especially on Dorp Street, which is lined with houses, cottages and shops. Rows of oaks and open spaces transform the streets into soft, shady tunnels. The oaks have actually been proclaimed national monuments.

    Starting in the Old Town center with your specialized “foodie” guide, your walking tour will focus on fresh, local, sustainably produced, and seasonal produce. In addition to its international wine reputation, Stellenbosch is also home to curated, public art exhibitions. During your leisurely walk you will savor the handiwork of both enthusiastic food artisans and celebrated artists in Stellenbosch. Throughout, your guide will entertain you with stories about the history and culture of the area.

    Your tour includes sampling home-grown teas paired with typical Cape sweet treats, traditional beef snacks from a local butchery, local produced wines with appetizing delights and the walk will conclude at one of the oldest hotels in Stellenbosch for a delicious heritage platter.

    After lunch, re-board your coach and head to Blaauwklippen Wine Estate. Founded in 1682, Blaauwklippen is one of the oldest wine farms in Stellenbosch. Upon arrival you will be welcomed and will partake in a delectable wine and chocolate pairing followed by the unique opportunity to create a wine blend.

    Start off by tasting three different wines lead by an experienced wine ambassador who will guide the group through the process showing how and why certain varieties harmonize better than others. You will then be challenged to create your own blend as a team.

    After some time to explore the estate on your own it will be time to return to your hotel. The remainder of the day is at leisure with dinner on your own. If you wish, the hotel’s concierge can assist you in making arrangements for an unforgettable dinner off site or you may choose to dine in-house.

    DAY 3

    Following a leisurely breakfast at the hotel, you will meet your tour guide in the hotel lobby and depart for a full-day tour to the Cape Winelands featuring Franschhoek.

    The lush Franschhoek Valley and the Huguenot village of Franschhoek (“French Corner”) was originally known as Olifants Hoek (“Elephant’s Corner”) after elephants took to calving in the sheltered valley with its plentiful supply of food and water.

    En-route, you will stop at Boschendal Wine Estate for a guided walking tour offering rare personal insight into the history of the farm, regenerative farming practices and sustainable gardening while experiencing and enjoying the beauty of the farm and its gardens. You will also be harvesting seasonal herbs from the herb garden. Comfortable shoes and hats are recommended as this is a 1.5-hour walking tour.

    Following your farm tour, you will enjoy a wine tasting and then lunch at The Werf Restaurant.

    You will then travel to the town of Franschhoek, where you have the option to visit to the Huguenot Monument, situated at the foot of the Franschhoek Pass, which commemorates the arrival of the Huguenots in South Africa. Alternatively, you may explore this quaint town on your own.

    The tour ends with a nougat and sparkling wine tasting at Haute Cabriere or a similar venue.

    Back at your hotel you will have some time to freshen up before a final wine pairing three-course group dinner.

  • Look for iconic African animals on early-morning and evening game drives in Etosha National Park and luxuriate in between adventures at the contemporary Mokuti Etosha lodge.

    Special Note: Any guests travelling with Portable Oxygen Concentrators (POC) or CPAP breathing machines should read further below for airline stipulations with regards to bringing this equipment on tour.

    DAY 1

    Upon your arrival at the Walvis Bay pier, the Namibia team will accompany you to the Walvis Bay Airport, where a private charter aircraft awaits the group. You will fly north to the spectacular Mokuti Etosha lodge on the southern border of Namibia’s Etosha National Park.

    The contemporary lodge is a private oasis, where you will enjoy the comfort of a spacious room with a private patio. Banded mongooses, antelopes and numerous birds can often be observed from the patio.

    Follow check-in and lunch, you will have time to relax and settle in before embarking on a game drive in an open safari vehicle with a professional guide through Etosha National Park. Wildlife sighting are almost guaranteed as Africa’s most iconic creatures congregate around the waterholes along the massive salt pan.

    Large animals such as elephants, lions, giraffes, wildebeests and various species of antelope are commonly spotted. Etosha is also one of the best places in the world to see endangered black rhinoceroses in the wild. Herds of springbok and zebra cover the plains and smaller animals such as jackals, warthogs and honey badger roam seemingly everywhere.

    Later in the evening, dinner will be served in the lodge’s dining hall or around the boma.

    DAY 2

    After breakfast at the lodge, you will travel into the Etosha National Park for an early-morning game drive. The landscape and vegetation constantly vary in the park and accordingly so do the animals that are spotted. The sights will likely be completely different than what you observed the day before, especially around the watering holes, where the animals frequently gather.

    Late in the morning, you will return to the lodge for lunch and to enjoy the generous amenities. You might play tennis and billiards, work out in the gym, swim in the pool and take advantage of an included treatment at the Omulio Spa.

    Toward mid-afternoon, you will head back into the bush on another game drive. It can be a magical time as the temperatures will be cooler, which encourages the animals to emerge from the shelter they sought during the mid-day heat.

    Back at the lodge, you might enjoy a luxuriating spa treatment if you haven’t already and perhaps a drink before dinner while you watch a fiery sunset.

    DAY 3

    Following a breakfast buffet in the dining room or on the terrace, you will transfer to the airstrip for a light aircraft flight to Hosea Kutako International Airport just outside Windhoek. Along the way, you will gaze out over the gorgeous landscape of Central Namibia.

    Upon landing, you will check in for the scheduled flight to Cape Town, South Africa. Upon arriving there, you will collect your bags and proceed through Customs and Immigration. You will be met in the arrivals area for the transfer to the port of Cape Town, where you will re-board the cruise ship.

  • Explore the visually stunning desert landscape of the NamibRand Nature Reserve and observe the animals that inhabit it, while spending evenings at Kwessi Dunes in a chalet with a special open-roof star-gazing room.

    DAY 1

    Disembark the ship in Walvis Bay, Namibia. You will be met and transferred to the Walvis Bay Airport, where you will board a charter flight to the Kwessi Dunes airstrip.

    The flight over the Sossusvlei and Namib desert is an expedition on its own with stunning aerial views. Upon landing at Kwessi Dunes airstrip, collect your luggage and make your way to Kwessi Dunes.

    Enjoy a welcome drink upon arrival at the lodge, which occupies a plum location in the NamibRand Nature Reserve, a desert wilderness that is one of the largest private reserves in southern Africa. Your air-conditioned accommodations will be one of only a dozen chalets, each featuring canvas walls, a high thatched roof and a separate star-gazer room that is open to the sky for the ultimate in watching the evening’s celestial show. Other amenities include an en suite bathroom, indoor and outdoor showers and a shaded verandah.

    Following lunch and check-in formalities, you will enjoy one of the optional free-of-charge day activities such as quad biking or a nature walk. For an additional charge, you may opt for hot-air ballooning, horseback riding, a scenic helicopter flight, a day trip to the highest dune in the world at Sossuvlei or a spa treatment. Of course, if you simply wish to relax and take in the natural beauty, feel free.

    Afternoon tea will be served before you head out on a once-in-a-lifetime scenic drive through the Sossusvlei Desert. The landscape is one of towering earth-toned dunes and jagged mountains that rise above the dry, salt-and-clay pan floor that seems to go on forever.

    The scenic drives at Kwessi Dunes are unlike any other you will ever experience. You might not find the Big Five wandering around the harsh desert of the NamibRand, but you will find yourself immersed in a world of rugged and rocky terrain, mauve mountains, red dunes and enormous swathes of desert. Nothing can quite prepare you for seeing it in person.

    The space is humbling, and the sense of peace is spiritual. The fairy circles that dot the ground are particularly intriguing. Over the years, the theories behind them have been hotly debated, however no one really knows for certain why they are there. Just another reason to visit this extraordinary place.

    The dunes are home to a variety of wildlife that has adapted in many fascinating ways to survive the harsh terrain. You will most likely find gemsbok, springbok, kudu and steenbok, often silhouetted against the red sand. You may also spot Burchell’s zebra amid the dunes as well as the more unusual black-backed jackals, aardwolves and African wild cats, which can be surprisingly easy to find compared to those in other reserves on the continent. Leopards and cheetah are rare but there are small numbers of both.

    Back at the lodge, you will have time to freshen up before dinner. The sky should then be ideal for star-gazing in your private outdoor sky bed. Thanks to the lodge’s remote location, there is very little light pollution so the skies are typically crystal clear. In fact, the NamibRand is Africa’s first designated International Dark Sky Reserve because it is one of the least light-polluted places in the world.

    DAY 2

    Wake up to the gorgeous Namib desert air and enjoy a cup of tea or coffee before embarking on the ultimate 4x4 scenic desert drive. Afterwards, you will have time to freshen up and enjoy lunch before spending the afternoon at leisure, exploring the lodge surroundings and perhaps taking advantage of an additional optional activity.

    Later, you will embark on an evening scenic drive and experience a whole new side of this desert oasis as the sun begins to set. Upon returning to the lodge, you will have time to freshen up before dinner.

    DAY 3

    Depending on departure flight time, you may be able to embark on one last morning activity followed by breakfast and check-out formalities.

    Then, make your way to the airstrip and board your charter flight to Windhoek.

    On arrival at Windhoek’s airport, you will be met and assisted to connect onto an international scheduled flight to Cape Town, South Africa.

    Once you have collected your luggage and gone through Customs there, you will be met at the arrival hall at the Cape Town International Airport by your guide, who will show you to your transport. You will then transfer to the Cape Town harbor to meet your ship.
