What will you experience on this Safari?
Cape Town | South Africa
Your journey begins in Cape Town, the vibrant city where mountains meet the sea. Known as one of Africa’s top destinations, it is the perfect place to relax and explore at your own pace. Spend time on the beach, or take a scenic day trip around the Cape Peninsula to visit the famous African penguins at Boulders Beach.
For active travelers, hike Lion’s Head for panoramic views of the city and Table Mountain. At Cape Point, look for ostrich, eland, bontebok, and historic shipwrecks along the coastal trails. You can also sea kayak off the Sea Point promenade, where Heaviside’s dolphins are often seen swimming close by.
Cape Town is a city designed for outdoor living, with excellent restaurants, local wines, and endless opportunities to enjoy its natural beauty.
Sabi Sand Nature Reserve | South Africa
The Sabi Sand Nature Reserve shares an unfenced border with Kruger National Park, allowing wildlife to move freely between the two.
This private reserve is renowned for its exceptional leopard sightings and dramatic predator interactions, offering front-row access to some of the most intimate wildlife encounters in Africa.
Home to the Big Five, abundant plains game, and more than three hundred bird species, Sabi Sand delivers incredibly rich and varied game viewing. With your Swarovski Optik binoculars, you can enjoy close-up views of the wildlife and landscapes that make this reserve so unforgettable.
Victoria Falls | Zimbabwe or Zambia
Known locally as Mosi-oa-Tunya, meaning the smoke that thunders, Victoria Falls is one of the world’s most extraordinary natural wonders. Watching the immense curtain of water plunge into the Zambezi River is a sensory experience you will never forget.
The region offers a wide range of activities for every type of traveler. Enjoy scenic helicopter or microlight flights over the falls, explore the Zambezi River by boat, or venture into nearby reserves on a guided game drive. For those seeking more adventure, gorge swings and bungee jumps are also available.
Luxury lodges along the riverfront provide a peaceful place to unwind, with beautiful pools, wellness spas, and tranquil surroundings that offer the perfect contrast to the power and energy of the falls.
Linyanti Wildlife Reserve | Botswana
For an unrivaled remote safari experience, where the only “crowds” are the abundant birds and wildlife, Linyanti Wildlife Reserve stands out as a premier destination.
This untouched region offers a safari reminiscent of a bygone era. Wildlife sightings are exceptional, with the Savuti Channel attracting antelope species and drawing in predators. Look out for lions, leopards, and wild dogs in action. Linyanti is also known for hosting some of Africa’s largest elephant herds.
Enjoy river cruises along the Linyanti River, spotting hippos, elephants, and crocodiles. Add on walking safaris, motorboat excursions, or a helicopter flight to experience this wilderness from every angle.
Okavago Delta | Botswana
The Okavango Delta is one of Africa’s most magical safari destinations. This vast inland wetland is rich in wildlife and offers some of the most diverse landscapes on the continent.
Spot the Big Five (lion, leopard, rhino, elephant, and buffalo) alongside rare species like the African wild dog and cheetah. The delta is one of the last strongholds for wild dogs in Africa.
Activities include game drives, mokoro (dugout canoe) excursions, and guided bush walks, all offering close encounters with the delta’s remarkable ecosystems.
For a unique perspective, take a helicopter safari to fully appreciate the scale and beauty of this extraordinary wilderness.
