Highlights of Southern Africa

Arrive in the coolest city in South Africa and transfer to our starting hotel. Meet the rest of the gang before heading into the city and getting to know each other over some dinner and a brew or two.

Take a cable car ride up the iconic Table Mountain today for 360-degree views, before a guided tour of the city, from colourful Bo-Kaap to the V&A Waterfront. This afternoon, take an optional tour of a township before getting your sizzle on with a cooking class.

Today's yours to enjoy Cape Town at your own pace. Catch some epic waves, sample some street-side bunny chow, or join our optional excursions to meet the penguins at Boulders Beach or to Cape Point Vineyards for a wine tasting.

Fly to Johannesburg, before transferring to Kruger National Park in time for a sunset game drive. With lions, elephants, rhinos, leopards, and buffalos, it's like stepping into the Lion King! Spend tonight under the stars on the banks of the Sabie River.

Join our optional morning game drive to see Kruger as the animals wake for the day, before heading back to camp for a dip in the pool, and lunch. There's another optional game drive on offer at sunset, followed by a traditional South African braai - yum!

Enjoy one last morning game drive in beautiful Kruger before paying a visit to a traditional village with a local guide and learning about rural life here.  This afternoon, head back to Johannesburg and crash at the hotel ahead of our flight to Victoria Falls tomorrow!

Fly to Victoria Falls. Peel your jaw off the floor as we approach the colossal waterfall where the Zambezi plunges hundreds of feet, sending a cloud of mist into the air that can be seen for miles. This evening, round off in style with our optional sunset cruise.

Channel your inner adrenaline junky today with a selection of heart-pounding optional activities from white-water rafting on the Zambezi, to a gorge slide, or bridge swing. If you'd rather keep things a little more chilled, there's a local village visit on offer too.  

Take an optional walking safari through Zambezi's National Park, or see Victoria Falls from the air with a thrilling helicopter ride. Then cross into Botswana, where our destination is a private campsite in the legendary Chobe National Park.

Please note: Due to the rainy season, overnight camping in Chobe is not available from October to March. During this time, you'll spend two nights in at a lodge instead.

Head out on a morning game drive and feel the adrenaline rush as you spot elephants moving across the grasslands, lions in search of their next meal, and giraffes grazing. Head to our new lodge where we'll chill by the pool ahead of an optional wildlife river cruise.

Travel to Makgadikadi where you can take an excursion into the salt pans to meet a colony of characterful meerkats. Snap some surreal selfies against the blinding white landscape, and watch the meerkats as they play, feed, and snooze in the sun.

Leave the salt pans behind and travel to the shimmering Okavango Delta. Our home tonight is an exclusive safari camp where we'll share a campfire meal and swap stories under a canopy of stars.

Make like David Attenborough and travel into the heart of the delta on two game drives where you'll have the chance to see elephants, hippos, and crocs. As the sun sets, tuck into a campfire dinner before heading back out on a magical night game drive!

Tank up on breakfast before one final game drive in the delta. Then pile back into the safari vehicles. Next stop Maun! Check into our new lodge before an optional helicopter flight. Then take an optional visit to a local craft brewery.

Ready to tick another country off your Africa bucket list? Our adventure continues today to Windhoek, with stunning Savannah views on the agenda. Enjoy a free evening to chill out in Namibia's capital city and grab some dinner at a famous brewery with your travel mates.

We'll start our day exploring the sights of Windhoek, before heading to Penduka Village: a women-led initiative empowering the local community. Learn about the women's stories and how skills are passed on between generations, and purchase some of the expertly woven handicrafts to take home with you. Then our journey takes us to Namibia's most iconic national park!

We're in safari mode today with an early morning game drive planned. They say that Etosha is home to some of the best wildlife viewing on the planet, and if we get lucky, we may just spot the park's most famous resident: the black rhinoceros! Enjoy a free afternoon before going for a sunset walk-around and digging into a buffet dinner back at our lodge.

Our journey takes us into the Erongo Mountains today, where rugged scenery and ancient rock paintings awaits. We'll visit the San Bushmen of Omandumba, one of the oldest surviving tribes in Africa, before heading onto Spitzkoppe to do some exploring. We'll finish up at the coastal town of Swakopmund this evening.

Soak in the ocean views as we head to the coast this morning. First up is Walvis Bay, which is home to a breathtaking variety of wildlife (including whales, dolphins and fur seals!). Here you can choose to go kayaking. The rest of today is free time, with an optional Mondesa Township tour in the evening.

Ready for a road trip? Today we'll take a scenic drive through the wild Namibian desert. We'll stop at a unique town called Solitaire along the way before arriving at our Sossuvlei lodge for the evening. Join an optional sunset drive around the desert, then it's time for our buffet-style dinner.

Rise and shine! It's an early start this morning as we head to the Namib-Naukluft National Park. This is where you can experience Namibia's otherworldly beauty in all its glory, from glistening salt flats to towering sand dunes (including a climb to the top of Big Daddy sand dune for unbeatable panoramic views!). Later on, we'll journey back to Namibia with a final night together to celebrate all the adventures we've had and the friendships made. Cheers!

Our trip finishes today after breakfast. You are welcome to depart at any time. Until next time!
