  • Fly to Zimbabwe to watch one of the world’s greatest natural spectacles—thundering Victoria Falls—and cruise the winding Zambezi River at sunset, a time when some of Africa’s most iconic animals are most active and easy to spot. Also take part in a day safari to the famous Chobe National Park where the Big Five are known to be abundant.

    PLEASE NOTE – This PRE-Cruise Program begins in Johannesburg and therefore guests need to fly into Johannesburg, South Africa. 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.

    Due to the amount of walking and terrain, this program is not suited for guests who have walking difficulty or who use a wheelchair or scooter.

    DAY 1

    On arrival at Johannesburg’s O.R. Tambo International Airport, you will be met outside the Customs and Immigration area by a local representative and assisted on the short walk (approximately 300 yards/900 feet) from the airport terminal to your airport-based hotel.

    The earliest check-in time allowed at the hotel is 2:00pm, although every effort will be made for your room to be available earlier.

    Spend the remainder of the afternoon at leisure. Any meals are on your own today.

    DAY 2

    Enjoy breakfast at the hotel before checking out meeting our local representative who will walk back to the airport terminal with you. Excess luggage storage (1 piece per person) will be available prior to checking in for your flight to Victoria Falls, Zimbabwe. Note: the flight is not accompanied. Guests will need to purchase a visa for Zimbabwe either in advance or at the airport upon arrival.

    As guests may only bring one piece of checked luggage per person, excess luggage (1 piece per person – max 20 kg/44lbs) will be stored at the Johannesburg Airport from days 2-4 and it will be shipped via courier to Cape Town where you will be re-united with it on Day 4 at your hotel. Make sure to pack accordingly and bring any medications and cruise documents with you.

    Upon arriving in the Victoria Falls airport, another local representative will meet and assist you with your transfer to the Victoria Falls Hotel where a light lunch (time permitting) will be enjoyed followed by check-in and some free time to explore the hotel and its grounds.

    With dramatic views of the gorges of Zimbabwe's spectacular Victoria Falls, The Victoria Falls Hotel, built by the British in 1904, was originally conceived as accommodation for workers on the Cape-to-Cairo railway) and today it is a famous luxury brand and member of The Leading Hotels of the World. Steeped in history and one of the oldest hotels in Africa, The Victoria Falls Hotel serves is a reminder of the distinguished and elegant era to which it was born and has earned its status as the epitome of grand luxury travel.

    Later in the afternoon, 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.

    Following the cruise, return to your hotel for dinner at the Livingstone Room.

    DAY 3

    Following breakfast at the hotel, meet our local representative who will journey with you on this day tour to Chobe, Botswana (border crossing).

    Visiting Chobe National Park is a journey into the heart of Botswana’s wildlife wonderland – Chobe National Park is well known for its large herds of elephant that frequent the Chobe River daily. Apart from the herds of elephants, Chobe has a lot more to offer, the park has lion, leopard and many other renowned wildlife.

    Your tour includes a boat safari on Chobe River, a game drive in Chobe National Park and lunch at one of the local lodges. Return to Victoria Falls in the afternoon (border crossing).

    This evening, enjoy an off-site Boma Dinner which is an enchanting culinary experience that tantalizes the senses and celebrates the rich traditions of Zimbabwean culture. As you enter the open-air boma, you will be greeted with the rhythmic beats of traditional music and the warm glow of crackling fires. The atmosphere is vibrant and inviting, with the scent of grilled meats wafting through the air. Seated around a central fire pit, adorned with tribal artifacts and decor, you will be treated to a feast for both the palate and the soul.

    Return to your hotel in Victoria Falls (border crossing).

    DAY 4

    After breakfast and check-out, you will be met and transferred 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!

    After your tour of the Falls, transfer to the Victoria Falls airport for your flight to Cape Town. On arrival in Cape Town, you will be met and transferred to your hotel for the evening. Note: the flight is not accompanied.

    Your hotel is located nearby to the Victoria And Alfred Waterfront where you will find a wide array of shopping and dining options within steps of the hotel.

    Guests will be reunited with any excess luggage that was stored in Johannesburg and shipped to Cape Town.

    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).

    DAY 5

    Following a leisurely breakfast, complete check-out formalities and take a short drive to Lower Table Mountain Road where you will ascend the mountain by cable card and enjoy a bird’s eye view of the ‘Mother City’ from the top of Table Mountain –a bucket list site for many!

    Re-board your vehicle and transfer to the harbour for embarkation.

    Note: Ascending Table Mountain by cable car is weather dependent.

    Note: This program is not recommended for guests who require use of a wheelchair or scooter. The Wine Tram is not accessible and the terrain is not always even at the wineries.

    DAY 1

    On arrival at Cape Town International Airport, clear Customs and immigration, collect your luggage and meet up with our representative for a private transfer to your luxury hotel in the quaint town of Franschhoek.

    Check-in on arrival (official check-in time is 2:00pm).

    At Le Quartier Francais, the suites and rooms offer luxury furnishings and are set in peaceful scented gardens. Each room features vibrant colors, unique decor, and amenities like fruit baskets, wine, and a stocked mini bar.

    Spend the remainder of the day at leisure with lunch and dinner on your own.

    Your stay at Le Quartier Francais includes access to several restaurants on the property (lunches and dinners are at own cost) along with the Great Heart Wine Boutique and Leeu Spa.

    The chefs craft dishes inspired by the changing seasons, utilizing ingredients sourced predominantly from the Leeu estate's own vegetable gardens and orchards. Daily harvesting ensures that each meal benefits from a consistently high standard of freshness and quality.

    Adjacent to the property is the Everard Read Gallery, showing the best modern and contemporary artworks by southern African artists. The gallery includes a sculpture garden for monumental works interspersed with herbs and vegetables, the first of its kind in South Africa. The fresh produce from the garden features on the menus of the Leeu Collection’s restaurants. The hotel is also located in the heart of Franschhoek therefore walking distance to all of the available boutique shops, restaurants, museums and more.

    DAY 2

    Following breakfast at the hotel, meet your tour guide in the lobby of your hotel and begin a full day Winelands discovery tour of Paarl & Stellenbosch.

    Begin your experience with a visit to the Paarl Wine region, where you can participate in an elegant chocolate and wine pairing at The Courtyard of Nederburg Wine Estate. This setting offers refined ambiance and exceptional views of the historic Nederburg estate.

    Following lunch, enjoy free time in the town of Stellenbosch, home to the Dorpshuis Museum and a few quaint boutique shops.

    In the afternoon, return to your hotel where the remainder of the day is at your leisure. Dinner is on you own.

    DAY 3

    Today, explore Franschhoek in the best way - by the Wine Tram whose departure point is within walking distance from your hotel. Your tour is the Wine and Cuisine Experience.

    Make your way to the meeting point for the tram (3-4 minute walk around the corner from the hotel – a hotel shuttle can be provided should you not wish to walk – please advise our local team when you arrive should you require this option so it can be arranged)

    Guided by a wine ambassador, you will hear about Franschhoek Valley’s history, wine, and culture. The itinerary includes food and wine pairings for breakfast, lunch, and dessert.

    DAY 4

    Following breakfast and check-out formalities, depart for the Cape Town city centre where the cruise ship awaits.

    Prior to boarding, travel via Kloof Nek, reaching the saddle situated between Table Mountain and Lion's Head, en route to the Lower Cableway Station.

    Upon arrival at Lower Table Mountain Road, board a Swiss-engineered rotair cable car and ascend from the 1,190-foot Valley Station to the 3,477-foot Mountain Station. The ascent, which takes approximately four minutes, features panoramic views as the floor of the cable car rotates 360 degrees throughout both the ascent and descent.

    At the summit, the natural reserve extending from Signal Hill to Cape Point is managed by the National Parks Board, which oversees one of the world's highest concentrations of endemic plant and animal species for its size. Notably, this region contains 2,285 plant species—more than can be found in the entirety of the United Kingdom.

Renowned for hosting the highest and most varied concentration of wildlife in the southern hemisphere, the area offers sightings of all members of the Big Five, in addition to 137 other mammal species and over 450 bird species, all within a private and minimally crowded environment.

    Note: This program begins in Johannesburg therefore arrival flights must be booked to Johannesburg’s O.R. Tambo International Airport. Any guests travelling with Portable Oxygen Concentrators (POC) or CPAP breathing machines should read further below about airline stipulations with regards to bringing this equipment on tour. Program details and the number of game drives are subject to change depending on final flight details.

  • Explore beautiful Cape Town, with so much to offer, including Penguin Beach, Kirstenbosch Botanical Gardens, Groot Constantia Wine Estate, Stellenbosch Winelands and Table Mountain with your hotel located in the heart of the Victoria and Alfred Waterfront.

    DAY 1

    Upon arrival into Cape Town, you are met at the airport and transferred by private vehicle to your overnight hotel, located inside the Victoria and Alfred Waterfront – home to so many restaurants, shops and plenty of entertainment – something for everyone including boat cruises (ferries and sunset catamaran cruises), the Big Wheel, Two Oceans Aquarium, Zeitz Mocaa and more.

    Check into your hotel on arrival (2:00pm) and spend the remainder of the afternoon and evening at leisure. Any meals are on your own today.

    Should you have an early arriving flight, you may wish to book an extra night so that your room is ready for occupation upon arrival. Day rooms can only be purchased directly with the hotel.

    DAY 2

    Following breakfast at the hotel, meet your tour guide in the lobby of your hotel and embark on a full day discovery tour.

    Start off with a scenic drive past the seaside suburbs of Camp’s Bay, Clifton and Llundudno and onto Hout Bay. Continue over scenic Chapma’s Peak, providing phenomenal photo opportunities. Then onto Boulders Beach to view the African Penguins in their natural habitat.

    Thereafter, continue onto Groot Constantia Wine Estate. Groot Constantia wine farm is testimony of how one man’s love for wine established South Africa’s first wine farm in 1685. In a word, their wines are from rich African soil, crafted to perfection. Furthermore, their heritage stands for growth, life and beauty.

    During your visit to Groot Constantia, you may explore the original Cape Dutch Manor House; visit the famed Cloete Cellar (the birthplace of Grand Constance) for a self-guided tour and enjoy a wine and chocolate tasting experience. You will also take home a souvenir branded wine glass.

    Enjoy a delicious three course lunch at Jonkershuis at Groot Constantia Wine Estate.

    Thereafter, embark on a short transfer to Kirstenbosch Botanical Gardens – acclaimed as one of the great botanic gardens of the world. Few gardens can match the sheer grandeur of the setting of Kirstenbosch, against the eastern slopes of Cape Town’s Table Mountain.

    Enjoy a leisurely stroll through these beautiful gardens. Consider a walk on and over the Centenary Tree Canopy Walkway - a new curved steel and timber bridge that winds and dips its way through and over the trees of the Arboretum. Inspired by a snake skeleton, it is informally called ‘The Boomslang’ (meaning tree snake).

    The Walkway takes you from the forest floor into and through the trees and bursts out above the canopy, giving spectacular panoramic vistas of the surrounding mountains, Garden and Cape Flats.

    Return to your hotel in the late afternoon. Spend the evening at leisure. Dinner is on your own today.

    DAY 3

    Following breakfast at the hotel, meet your tour guide in the lobby of your hotel and embark on a full day Winelands discovery tour.

    Take a scenic drive to JC Le Roux where the tasting room at the House of J.C. Le Roux offers a range of tastings and specially crafted parings for the most sophisticated of palates - both sweet and dry. Here you will enjoy a cheesecake and sparkling wine pairing.

    Next, take a short drive to Muratie Wine Estate located on steep slopes of the Simonsberg Mountain. Here time stands still, and centuries of fascinating stories live on. Immerse yourself in the tastes, the sights, the sounds and the warm welcome of a truly authentic Cape wine farm.

    Located in the Knorhoek Valley north of Stellenbosch, Muratie dates back to 1685 when it was granted by Simon van der Stel, then Governor of the Cape of Good Hope, to German soldier Laurens Campher. Through the centuries Muratie, one of the oldest wine estates in South Africa, had several other colourful owners and is currently under the stewardship of the Melck family, who are deeply rooted here.

    Their guiding philosophy is to preserve this rich history and cultural heritage and share it with wine lovers from around the world. Equally important, is to build a future legacy of dedication to excellence.

    Here you will enjoy estate wines (a variety of white and red wine) followed by a delicious lunch.

    Thereafter enjoy free time in the town of Stellenbosch, including an optional visit to Stellenbosch Museum (entry fee). The Stellenbosch Village Museum currently comprises of four houses of historical interest and their gardens.

    Each of these beautiful homes represents a different period in the architectural development of Stellenbosch. The houses, their interiors and their gardens have been wonderfully restored, furnished, planted and decorated to illustrate the particular style and taste of the time.

    Return to your hotel in the late afternoon. Spend the evening at leisure. Dinner is on your own this evening.

    DAY 4

    Following breakfast and check-out formalities, depart the hotel for a drive up Kloof Nek, to the saddle between Table Mountain and Lion's Head, en-route to the Lower Cableway Station. Upon arrival at Lower Table Mountain Road, board a Swiss-engineered rotair cable car, and ascend from the 1,190-foot Valley Station to the 3,477-foot Mountain Station.

    The journey from the base to the summit takes just under four minutes and offers spectacular views as the floor of the car rotates 360 degrees during the ascent and descent. 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 is home to one of the highest concentrations of endemic plant and animal species in any area of its size; its impressive 2,285 plant species are greater in quantity than those of the entire U.K. combined.

    Following your visit to Table Mountain, re-board your vehicle for a drive to the cruise terminal where you will embark the ship.

You will be escorted to your hotel where you will spend the remainder of the day at leisure. Your hotel is located within walking distance inside the airport terminal.

    DAY 2

    After breakfast and check out, meet our local escort and walk back to the airport terminal to check in for a flight to Kasane, Botswana.

    As guests may only bring one piece of checked luggage per person (20 kg/44 lbs), excess luggage (1 piece per person max 20 kg/44 lbs.) will be shipped via courier to Cape Town 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 Kasane, Botswana, proceed through Customs and Immigration and then another local representative will assist with your transfer to Chobe Game Lodge.

    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.

    Chobe offers an elegant five-star experience with 40 spacious and stylish rooms and guests can unwind in various bars and seating areas or by the pool, and you can choose from various dining areas. An incredible 250 meter boardwalk runs along the river and forms the focus of the lodge. Walking along the promenade or finding a seat along its length gives you the chance to peacefully (barring the grunting hippos) observe the wildlife without even getting into a car or boat.

    If time allows, enjoy lunch and then some free time to get acquainted with your surroundings.

    A bit later in the day, gather in the main area and then set out for your first game drive in Chobe National Park. Safaris are conducted in 4x4 vehicles that are covered but open on the sides 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. Elephants, lions and leopards are also found in the area.

    Return to your lodge thereafter for dinner and overnight.

    DAY 3

    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.

    Chobe was the first National Park 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 may wish to embark on a cruise down the Chobe River or an afternoon game drive – 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 4

    After enjoying one last game drive and breakfast, check-out from the lodge and transfer across the border between Botswana and Zimbabwe by road and then onwards to Victoria falls. (Visas will need to be purchased for Zimbabwe in advance). The drive is approximately 1- 1.5 hours depending on border time.

    On arrival at your hotel, enjoy a light lunch followed by check-in formalities. Spend the afternoon at leisure. You may wish to consider taking one of the numerous optional activities (at own cost) including visiting a local market or home, a helicopter flight over the falls and more. The concierge at your hotel will be able to provide you with the most up to date list of available options during your stay.

    This evening, enjoy a sunset cruise on Zambezi (shared boat). 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.

    The cruise is followed by a riverside dining experience at your hotel which offers authentic African-style barbeque dining within an unparalleled setting on the edge of the Zambezi River. The experience also includes traditional entertainment and a welcome drink. (dinner outdoors is weather permitting).

    DAY 5

    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).

    Following your visit, transfer to the Victoria Falls Airport for a flight to Cape Town via Johannesburg.

    In Cape Town you will be met and transferred to your hotel which is located in the city center adjacent suburb of Gardens, within close proximity to the Company Gardens, South Africa Museum, Art galleries and more.

    Lunch and dinner are on your own today.

    Guests will be reunited with any excess luggage that was stored in Johannesburg and shipped to Cape Town.

    DAY 6

    Following a leisurely breakfast, complete check-out formalities and take a short drive to Lower Table Mountain Road where you will ascend the mountain by cable card for a bird’s eye view of the ‘Mother City’ from the top of Table Mountain, a bucket list activity for many! Re-board your vehicle and transfer to the harbor for embarkation.

    PLEASE NOTE

    •This is a malaria risk area. Please check with your physician regarding malaria precautions and other recommended immunizations. You must begin taking malaria precautions prior to your departure date.

    •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 or neck issues or for pregnant women.

    •Bring warm clothing, as the evenings and early mornings can be 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 drives at the lodge are run solely and at the discretion by the lodge/hotel staff. Flights are not accompanied.

    DAY 1

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

    Check in time at your hotel is at 2:00pm. Although every effort will be made to have rooms available sooner, this cannot be guaranteed. Should you have an early arriving flight you may wish to book an extra night so that your room is available upon arrival.

    Meals are on your own today.

    DAY 2

    Following breakfast at the hotel, collect your luggage and continue with check-out procedures.

    Meet our local representative in the lobby of the hotel and walk to the terminal to check in for a flight to Maun. A light snack is served on board.

    As guests may only bring one piece of checked luggage per person, excess luggage (1 piece per person, max 20 kg/44 lbs.) will be shipped via courier to Cape Town where you will be re-united with it on Day 5 at your hotel. Make sure to pack accordingly, label bags well and bring any medications and cruise documents with you.

    On arrival in Maun, you will be transferred to a charter flight which will bring you to Baines Lodge private airstrip.

    This is a 15-minute flight. Note: All flights on this day are unaccompanied.

    Upon arrival, a representative will meet and transfer you to your lodge, located at a prime location on the Boro River, at the edge of the Moremi Game Reserve. This is a 45-minute road transfer.

    Nestled within the lush, wildlife-rich waters of the Okavango Delta, Baines’ Lodge offers an intimate escape with only six exquisitely restored suites. Elevated on stilts and connected by charming wooden walkways, the lodge embraces a subtle nautical theme that beautifully blends with its natural surroundings. Each suite features elegant, understated interiors, where soft hues drawn from local flora complement polished timbers and muted walls that subtly mirror the Delta’s ever-changing colors. The open-plan design, marked by graceful columns, seamlessly connects indoor and outdoor spaces, framing breathtaking Delta vistas that rival the finest landscape paintings.

    The heart of the lodge’s social scene centers on a whimsical, dormant termite mound, transforming the communal areas into a unique gathering spot. Discover the Bush Boutique, where you can browse and purchase authentic local arts and crafts, or relax in the Explorer’s Lounge—a haven for the curious, featuring a microscope, spotting scopes, interactive maps, and a well-stocked library. Upon arrival, each guest receives Leica binoculars, perfect for admiring wildlife right from their private deck. Another standout feature is the inviting swimming pool, set beside the bar and Explorer’s Lounge, with plush sun loungers laid out for soaking in panoramic views of the Okavango Delta’s breathtaking landscape. The lodge is fully solar-powered.

    Return to your lodge thereafter for a delicious dinner.

    DAY 3

    Spend today in the Delta, enjoy three meals a day and two game activities.

    We recommend a morning Mokoro Excursion and a sunset Game Drive.

    Botswana’s Okavango Delta is a paradox: a vast patchwork of waterways, lagoons and islands on the edge of the Kalahari Desert. Generally flooded in the summer months, it retains its watery features all year and is home to many of Africa’s iconic species. Exploring the Okavango Delta by motor launch or seasonal mokoro (canoe) you will see everything from hippos to exquisite painted reed frogs, while lions, leopards and wild dogs who all hold their territories here throughout the year. Generally, mokoros are available from June to October and motorized boating (for anyone less keen on a canoe) from February to September, but this is dependent on the water levels of the delta.

    Game Drives (included)

    Embark on exclusive, expert-guided game drives where just four guests per open 4x4 vehicle enjoy intimate encounters with the Okavango Delta’s remarkable wildlife. Spot zebras, lions, and endangered wild dogs across a landscape that shifts from desert to swamp, with the floodplains (June–September) bursting into a mosaic of waterways, lagoons, and islands. This season offers stellar sightings of elephants, hippos, giraffes, crocodiles, and a vibrant array of migratory birds like African fish eagles and bee-eaters.

    Walking Safaris (included):

    Picture yourself venturing across the sweeping plains of the Okavango Delta on a walking safari, where every whisper of wind or crack of a twig hints at the presence of untamed African wildlife. Step off the beaten path and join expert guides and armed rangers as you learn the fine art of animal tracking, a heart-pounding adventure that goes far beyond the traditional safari experience. Decode footprints, examine animal droppings, and gain fascinating insights into the secret lives of elusive creatures. This immersive journey offers a chance to encounter herds of grazing antelope up close, while also encouraging you to discover the intricate web of plant and animal life hidden at your feet. Every moment spent on foot reveals the story of the Okavango’s vibrant ecosystem, inviting you to see the bush through the eyes of its wild inhabitants.

    Night drives (included):

    When night falls over the Okavango Delta, a whole new world awakens. Experience the thrill of after-dark safaris where expert guides use specialized lighting to spot elusive creatures like aardvarks and bush babies and catch predators such as leopards and hyenas on the hunt. Bundle up and discover the Delta’s captivating nocturnal wildlife from the comfort of a private safari vehicle.

    DAY 4

    Like the day prior, spend today in the Delta, enjoy three meals a day and two game activities.

    DAY 5 – January 31, 2027

    Receive one last early morning wake-up call and enjoy tea or coffee prior to your morning game activity.

    Check in time is at 2:00pm. Should you have an early arriving flight you may wish to book an extra night to guarantee room availability upon arrival, or you may choose to store luggage at Reception and begin to enjoy the facilities of the hotel.

    GOLD Restaurant in Cape Town is a vibrant, immersive dining experience that combines African cuisine with cultural storytelling, music, and dance.

    DAY 4

    Following breakfast at the hotel, settle any incidentals and check out before meeting your guide.

    No visit to Cape Town is complete without a trip up Table Mountain, the city’s most celebrated landmark.

    Table Mountain gets its 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.

    Depart from your hotel and 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.

    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, reboard your vehicle and transfer to the port for embarkation 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.

  • Escape to Lalibela Wildlife Reserve for an exclusive overnight safari at Tree Tops Lodge, an intimate five-suite tented camp offering luxury in the treetops overlooking a lush valley. Enjoy close-up wildlife encounters, including the Big Five, during thrilling dusk and dawn game drives. With stunning views, gourmet dining, and unforgettable bush moments, this is the perfect African adventure before rejoining your cruise in Port Elizabeth.

    Special Notes:

    •The lodge is not wheelchair accessible as there are steps to access the tented rooms. This program is not available for guests who require use of wheelchair or scooter.

    •Please advise the RSSC Reservations team when you book this program should you have any special dietary restrictions or requirements. Requests will be sent to our local ground operator for review.

    DAY 1

    Disembark the ship in Port Elizabeth and meet your local English-speaking representative who will accompany you on a road transfer to Lalibela Treetops Lodge. Travel time is approximately 1.5 hours.

    Lalibela Wildlife Reserve is located in the Eastern Cape of South Africa, close to Port Elizabeth and Addo, which means it is not only malaria free, but spans 5 ecosystems, resulting in a breath-taking diversity of flora and fauna. The reserve consists of 7,500 hectares (approximately 18,500 acres) and is home to the Big 5 (lion, elephant, rhino, buffalo & leopard) as well as other predators like cheetah, hyena, jackal & lynx. They are blessed with vast African plains, and this is why they have multitudes of zebra, giraffe, warthog, impala, wildebeest, blesbuck and various other antelope species.

    The 5-room Lalibela Tree Top Tented Camp is perched high on thatched platforms at tree top level. It is joined by raised walkways that offer spectacular views over the thickly wooded valley. The en-suite rooms with their canvas walls and thatched roofs have huge window areas to give you the feeling that you are in the bush. Each room has a private veranda for sitting and relaxing in privacy. They are also fitted with WiFi, and an en-suite bathroom with showers.

    The main lodge area has a large lounge and open-air dining deck with a view over a small waterhole. During free time, guests can sunbathe around the swimming pool or relax in the shaded gazebo. Elephants are regular visitors to the waterhole and resident Nyala who are often seen from the rooms and walkways.

    On arrival at the Tree Tops Tented Camp, check in after which a light lunch will be served, and you will have some time to settle in.

    The highlight of your day will no doubt be the dusk game drive, giving you the best opportunity to see many of the animals at their most active. Along the way enjoy a sundowner in the bush with some snacks.

    After your game drive you will return to the lodge for dinner.

    DAY 2

    Another early morning start allows you one last chance to head out into the wild for a morning game drive in search of the Big Five and countless other fascinating creatures that make their home in the Eastern Cape.

    On your return, breakfast will be served followed by check-out.

    Depart the lodge together with your local English-speaking tour escort, who will accompany you on your transfer back to Port Elizabeth Harbour to meet the ship. Travel time is approximately one hour and 15 minutes.
