This nonstop adventure presents the unrivalled experience of participating in driving, walking and dug-out canoe safaris in a private concession located in the heart of the Okavango Delta, venturing into Chobe, Botswana’s first national park, for multiple game drives to view even more of African’s most iconic wildlife and finally touring thundering Victoria Falls. Complete this whirlwind adventure with an evening in Cape Town, South Africa’s legislative capital city.

Special Note: This program begins in Johannesburg and ends in Cape Town where guests will board the ship. Arrival flights must be made into JNB. 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 as well as luggage size and weight restrictions for light aircraft flights.

Program details and the number of game drives are subject to change depending on final flight details.

DAY 1

Arrive at Johannesburg’s O.R. Tambo Airport. Once you have cleared Customs and Immigration, collect any luggage and proceed to the exit. An English-speaking Meet & Greet representative will await your arrival and accompany you on the short walk through the terminal to your overnight hotel. Your hotel is located within the Airport terminal.

The official check-in time at the hotel is 3:00pm. Although every effort will be made to have rooms available by this time, this cannot be guaranteed without book an extra night. Lunch is on own.

Spend the afternoon and evening at leisure. Enjoy dinner at the hotel including two local beverages and tea or coffee.

DAY 2

Following breakfast, you will be met and escorted on the short walk back to O.R. Tambo International Airport to check-in for a flight to Maun Airport.

Due to the light aircraft flight from Maun to Botswana, guests are only permitted to bring with them a maximum of 20 kg / 44 lbs inclusive of hand luggage. Bags must be soft and easy to handle, large hard and heavy suitcases will not be accepted. Suitcases, oyster cases and soft sided bags with trolley handles, metal frames and wheels do not constitute as soft sided bags and will not fit in the luggage pods of the aircraft. Soft sided bag dimensions should not exceed 25cm (10 inches) wide, 30 cm (12 inches) height and 62 cm (24 inches) long.

For this reason, one excess piece of luggage per person (max 20kg / 44lbs) will be shipped via courier to Cape Town where you will be re-united with it on Day 7. Make sure to pack accordingly and bring any medications and cruise documents with you. Make sure that luggage to be shipped is labeled well and includes the name of the ship.

On arrival at Maun Airport, you will be met and assisted in connecting onto a light aircraft flight transfer to your Botswana overnight property – Stanley’s Camp which is hidden deep in a private concession bordering the renowned Moremi Game Reserve.

Every detail of this traditional canvas tented camp has been considered to minimise its environmental footprint and sing with contemporary African design, offset by eclectic antiques that conjure the spirit of the camp’s Victorian namesake, the adventurer, Henry Stanley.

An intimate collection of only ten authentic safari tents makes up the distinguished accommodations, while communal areas include a grand mess tent, the ‘Explorer Lounge’, and a sociable outdoor bar, all of which have been designed to foster an unrivalled connection with nature and place guests at one with the wild.

The camp also features a striking infinity pool allowing guests to slip into the water immersed in the sights and sounds of the bush and its animals after a day on the delta.

On arrival at camp, proceed with check-in formalities. Following lunch, which is available depending on flight details, you then are escorted to your safari tent to settle in.

The individually designed tented suites are beautifully positioned to maximise the panorama of the floodplains beyond. Complete with private wooden decks from which the boundary between bush and bed dissolves, enjoy this outstanding vantage point for prime game viewing with coffee or cocktails, or retreat and recharge inside your personal sanctuary. Each ensuite tent has an indoor shower and is equipped with a hairdryer, ceiling fan and in-room safe, plus a compact gym, yoga bag, coffee station and a well-stocked minibar. Complimentary wireless internet access is available throughout the camp.

Following time to enjoy your surroundings, gather in the main area for tea prior to your afternoon activity. Your choices include:

Game drives:

Enjoy game drives, spotting wildlife from open-sided 4X4 vehicles, accompanied by professional guides. Because the camp is located on a private concession, guests have the opportunity to see animals up close on both morning and evening game drives to discover incredible nocturnal species. Afternoon and evening game drives include classic sundowner cocktails and canapés at specially selected spots

Mokoro excursions:

The Okavango Delta is flooded for much of the year and when it is, guests can experience the gentle pace of a poled mokoro excursion along the narrow Delta channels. Sit back and relax as you glide through lily ponds on local dugout canoes while watching the surrounding wildlife. (Subject to water levels). Generally, mokoros are available June to October but can’t be guaranteed. (Children aged 12 and over are permitted on the mokoro activity).

Walking safaris:

Discover the signs of the bush, accompanied by your guide and armed ranger on exciting walking safaris. The wildlife is spectacular all year round and because the camp is set in a private concession guests can get very close in perfect safety with one of the guides.

Optional activities such as helicopter flights may be available to book for a surcharge. Reservations and payment for optional activities must be made directly at the lodge.

Following your activity, return to the lodge and freshen up prior to a deliciously prepared dinner.

DAY 3

Spend today at Stanley’s, enjoying all the activities on offer and three included meals

DAY 4

Following one last morning activity, enjoy a hearty breakfast followed by time to gather your personal belongings and complete check-out formalities.

Bid the staff farewell before embarking on a road transfer to the airstrip for your light aircraft flight to Kasane.

On arrival at Kasane Airport, a Chobe Game Lodge representative will meet the group and transfer you to your located just inside the Chobe National Park.

Established in 1973, Chobe Game Lodge is one of the most famous lodges in Botswana and the only permanent lodge located within the renowned Chobe National Park. This privileged location allows guests to be the first to enter the park every morning and the last to leave, providing photographers with a significant advantage.

Within the lodge, and shaded by magnificent mahogany trees, Chobe offers an elegant five-star experience with spacious and stylish rooms. You can unwind in the various complimentary bars and seating areas or by the pool, and you can choose from various dining areas. An incredible 250-meter board walk runs along the river and forms the focus of the lodge. Walking along the promenade or finding a seat along its length gives you a chance to peacefully (barring the grunting hippos) observe the wildlife without even getting into a car or boat.

Check-in on arrival and time permitting, enjoy lunch followed by an afternoon activity such as a sunset cruise on Chobe River or a game drive in Chobe National Park. The team at the lodge will provide you with all the options available when you check in.

Here you may see wildlife including elephant, lion, leopard and buffalo to name a few. 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.

Return to the lodge for dinner and an evening at leisure.

DAY 5

Spend today at Chobe Game Lodge, enjoying all the activities on offer and three meals daily.

From the boardwalk to the boats, the natural focus of Chobe Game Lodge centres around the river where the wildlife travels unbelievable distances across the parched land to get to the life-giving waters.

Guests can see the best of this natural world from land and water, following the river by either safari vehicle or boat. Either option is cleverly designed to give unobstructed views and the best chance of great sightings. Being located inside the national park, you are able to leave at first light, getting out whilst the light is at its best, and predators are more active.

Away from the wildlife, there’s plenty to do, from a modern gym, stylish spa, large pool or just making the most of the 250 meters of boardwalk along the Chobe. The lodge even offers back of the house tours to show guests the pioneering environmental projects that the lodge run.

DAY 6

Following one last morning activity and breakfast, check-out and bid staff farewell as you make your way by road to the Victoria Falls Hotel.

When crossing the border between Botswana and Zimbabwe, guests will be required to purchase a Visa for Zimbabwe. Currently the cost is $30 USD per person, and we suggest having exact cash for payment. Guests must also have their passports.

On arrival at your hotel, check-in and spend the afternoon at leisure. There are a variety of optional activities (additional cost) that will be available for you to book directly with the team at the hotel such as helicopter flights over the Falls, a sunset cruise on Zambezi River and bungee jumping just to name a few.

This evening dinner is included at the hotel.

DAY 7

Following breakfast and check-out formalities, transfer to Victoria Falls for a guided tour.

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).

Thereafter, transfer to the airport for a flight to Cape Town.

On arrival at the Cape Town International Airport, you will be met and transferred to your hotel which is located within close proximity to the Victoria and Alfred Waterfront – home to numerous shops, restaurants and plenty entertainment. Your hotel also has Tobago’s Restaurant offering great views, delicious food and variety of beverages. Dinner is on your own.

Guests will be reunited with any shipped luggage.

DAY 8

Following a leisurely breakfast, complete check-out formalities and take a short drive to Lower Table Mountain Road where you will get to ascend the mountain by cable car (weather permitting) and enjoy a bird’s eye view of the ‘Mother City’ from the top of Table Mountain – a bucket list for many! Re-board your vehicle and transfer to the harbor 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 – June 1, 2025

Upon arrival at the Cape Town International Airport, you will be met outside the Customs and Immigration area and transferred to your city-based hotel. Check-in time is at 2:00pm. Although every effort will be made to have rooms available before this time this cannot be guaranteed. If you are arriving quite early, in order to guarantee a room to be available when you arrive, you will need to book an additional night’s stay.

The remainder of the day is at your leisure. Meals are on your own.

DAY 2 - June 2, 2025

Following an early breakfast at your hotel, depart on a 2.5-hour road transfer to Aquila Game Reserve or similar. Enjoy a welcome drink on arrival, followed by a 4 x 4 game drive, with an experienced nature guide. Thereafter, sit down to a delicious buffet lunch including two local beverages. 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 – June 3, 2025

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.

Make sure you are hungry for dinner as this evening you will join the group again for an African themed Farewell Dinner at GOLD Restaurant which includes an immersive 14-dish “taste-safari” and optional inter-active drumming. The tasting menu is designed to be enjoyed in a shared style and throughout the meal you will be learn about the country of origin, cooking techniques and spicing of each dish. (All meat, poultry and fish dishes come with vegan or vegetarian options). No doubt you will be swept up in the excitement as African stories are told through live entertainment while you dine including singing, puppetry and dancing to the beat of the djembe drums.

Following this lively dinner experience, you will be returned to your hotel.

DAY 4 – June 4, 2025

After breakfast at your hotel and check-out formalities, embark on a half day tour of the city before transferring to the port for embarkation.

Begin with a visit to 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 the port via a brief city orientation tour of Cape Town passing through Adderley Street and along the Foreshore.

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.

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).

Kruger National Park, South Africa’s largest game reserve, was established in 1898 to protect the wildlife of the South African lowveld. With nearly 2 million hectares of land that stretch for 352 kilometers (218 miles) from north to south along the Mozambique border, this wildlife sanctuary is like no other. Its atmosphere is so unique that it allows those who enter its vastness to immerse themselves in the unpredictability and endless wilderness that is the true quality of Africa. Certainly, it ranks with the best in Africa and is the flagship of the country’s national parks - rated as the ultimate safari experience.

Your accommodations, the Train on the Bridge is a first-of-its-kind luxury accommodation in a re-envisioned train stationed on the historically rich Selati Bridge above the Sabie River in Kruger National Park. The name has its origins in the history of Chief Warrior Shalati, who lived near this river in the region of Skukuza and ruled over the Tebula tribe.

Kruger Shalati pays homage to the guests who explored the park and Skukuza Camp nearly 100 years ago as this is where the first visits to the iconic park were allowed in the early 1920s. Back then the train would park overnight in the exact spot where Kruger Shalati is positioned.

Upon arrival you will be shown to your unique carriage room.

The large, glass-walled train rooms allow for unsurpassed views along the length of the majestic Sabie River while the style of the train celebrates African design with the use of local art and crafting skills. High above the riverbanks, aligned with the floor level of the train, lies a bespoke deck with pool, offering a swimming experience unlike any other – with crocodile, hippos, buffalos and elephants possibly hanging about only meters below – an experience for guests unlike any other!

After settling into your room, gather for afternoon tea, followed by an open vehicle game drive in search of the ‘Big 5’ as well as numerous other wildlife and birdlife.

Return to the hotel and enjoy traditional cuisine at the Bridge House Restaurant before retiring for the evening.

•Look for someone holding a sign with the cruise line logo and possibly your name. If in doubt, ask the airport staff to direct you to the meeting area for transfers or to page our representative.

•Meet and Greet is arranged for guests arriving on Day 1 of a land program or for extra nights booked through the cruise line and are arranged based on the flight details received by guests at least 14 days before sailing. Guests arriving independently before the program start date will not have meet and greet included.

•If we have not received your flight details or your flights have changed, and the Destination Services Land Team has not been notified, then meet and greet cannot be provided, and guests will be responsible for getting to the land program hotel at their own expense. Please immediately contact our Reservations Department for any flight changes before departure.
