Cape Town to Victoria Falls in
short:
Your journey begins at Africa’s Southern gateway. Gaze
at the spectacle that greeted the early explorers, as
Table Mountain appears to rise from the sea. A stunning
setting for a very special city. Explore the deserts of
Namibia, with its endless horizons and vast expanse of
night stars. Where giant sand dunes merge with the cold
Atlantic Ocean.
Explore historical Swakopmund and enjoy the many
activities on offer in this colonial Bavarian town. Go
on safari in Etosha, known as the “Great White Place”,
home to lion, rhino, elephant and much more. In Botswana
we navigate the winding streams and isolated lagoons of
the Okavango Delta and enjoy a tranquil game viewing
river cruise in the famed Chobe National Park. Victoria
Falls offers both the adrenaline junkie and the not so
adventurous many opportunities to explore various
exciting activities. This trip offers breathtaking
sights and cultural interaction and combines these into
an unforgettable holiday experience.
