The jungle hums with the sounds of insects and the wail of wildlife in the distance. As well as the lemur, we’ll be on the lookout for different species of bird, lizard and butterfly.

The city was one of the main harbours of the colonial-era and now a cosmopolitan collection of cultures and traditions. Continuing along the sandy coastal road lined with mangroves and dunes, we’ll see many fishing villages; in this area the men fish twice a day in their dugout canoes known as pirogues, for the women and children to collect and deliver to Tuléar.

Victoria Falls, Botswana Safari and Cape Town
12 days from £3,799 per person
Start your journey to Livingstone.
Arrive Livingstone and transfer to your hotel where you have the rest of the day to relax and enjoy the facilities.
Experience the magnificent Victoria Falls on an outstanding guided walking tour and enjoy a sunset cruise along the Zambezi.
This morning we approach Victoria Falls for an outstanding guided walking tour. It may be a cliché, but the falls really do take your breath away and it is at places such as this, that visitors realise just how powerful Mother Nature really is. The statistics are awesome: three times as long as Niagara and twice as high, this is the largest single body of falling water in the world!
The area around the falls is surrounded by a unique, lush rainforest eco-system, watered by the fine spray rising from the falls. As we pass through several rainbows arching through the mist, the roar of the falls intensifies, and conversation becomes virtually impossible. The anticipation mounts and on your first view, you will fully appreciate why this is truly one of the wonders of the natural world! At times of peak flow, the spray rising from the abyss is too thick to even see the foot of the falls, whereas during the dry season (generally Sep-Dec) the more adventurous may be able to walk to the edge of the vast chasm or even bathe in one of the pools!
Zambezi sunset cruise
After some time to relax and freshen up, we experience one of the highlights of your tour – a sunset cruise along the mighty Zambezi on the African Queen. As the boat slowly glides across the expanse of a river inhabited by hippo and crocodiles, simply settle into a shaded wicker armchair, absorb the unique surroundings, sip a refreshing drink, become acquainted with your fellow travellers and reflect on how good life can be.
We stay three nights half-board at a safari lodge, blending superbly with the natural surroundings.
Relax with a morning at leisure before heading across the border into Botswana and to our safari lodge in Chobe National Park.
Enjoy a morning at leisure in the hotel, or take advantage of the optional excursions available:
During low water flow, an optional boat trip is available to Livingstone Island from where the famous explorer himself first saw the falls. For the ultimate view you can take a helicopter or even a ‘micro-light’ aircraft flight (essentially a powered hang-glider) on an optional ‘Flight of Angels’ tour.
Travel to Chobe National Park
Today we cross the border into Botswana using the newly constructed Kazungula Bridge over the Zambezi River. Here we stay three nights half-board at a safari lodge, blending superbly with the natural surroundings of Chobe National Park.
Day 5 Chobe Safari
Prepare for an early start as we take a game drive in the African dawn around Chobe National Park, and then board a boat safari along the Chobe river.
There is simply nothing to beat the feeling of excited anticipation and rising expectation as we start our game drive in the half light of an African dawn, accompanied by a unique ‘dawn chorus.’
Using specially adapted 10-seater open-sided safari vehicles we look out for big cats, giraffe and elephants in Chobe National Park, a huge reserve of over 10,500 unfenced square kilometres. You will see a wide variety of game: beautiful impala, monkeys, warthogs, kudu, even leopards if we are lucky! The birdlife is also simply superb – look out for the darting pied kingfishers, African skimmers, ibis, ground hornbills and a variety of brilliantly coloured bee-eaters.
We return to our lodge mid-morning for some relaxation by the pool and a spot of lunch.
Later we take a boat safari on the Chobe River.
Relax as you spend the day at leisure at your lodge.
Today is at leisure at your lodge. You may either relax and enjoy the excellent facilities or take additional optional game drives or river safaris in this, the real heart of Africa. One of the trips on offer includes trying your hand at fishing for the fearsome tigerfish.
Journey back into Zambia across the Chobe River and drive back to Livingstone airport for our flight to Cape Town.
After breakfast we cross back into Zambia across the Chobe River and drive back to Livingstone airport. From Livingstone we fly to Cape Town, via Johannesburg and transfer to our hotel, beautifully located within walking distance of the V&A waterfront. Backed by ever-present blue skies and the iconic Table Mountain, fringed with white sand beaches and the nearby fertile, seemingly never-ending valleys of the Winelands, South Africa’s ‘Mother City’, was the first settlement founded by Europeans and now it’s a lively, cosmopolitan centre.
Travel to Cape Point and tour the legendary Cape of Good Hope, and visit Boulders beach to see the penguin colony.
This morning we drive to Cape Point, visiting the legendary Cape of Good Hope, the southernmost point on the African continent, originally known as the Cape of Storms. We pass pristine beaches, the fishing harbour of Hout Bay and continue along the breathtakingly scenic Chapman’s Peak Drive, full of rugged seascapes and cliffs, to the Cape of Good Hope Nature Reserve, one of the world’s biodiversity hot spots. At Cape Point itself you see the confluence of the Indian and Atlantic Ocean currents and the treacherous promontory of rocks, the scourge of mariners for centuries.
Finally, you visit Boulders Beach and its resident penguin colony before returning to the city in the afternoon. Lunch is included today.
Tour the awesomely beautiful Winelands, and enjoy a wine tasting treat.
Today you tour the awesomely beautiful Winelands. Set in a wide valley backed by majestic mountains, rows of manicured vines and orchards stretch into the distance, studded by lime-washed, often thatched, 300-year-old wineries built in the unique Cape Dutch style, sympathetically mirroring the undulations of the surrounding countryside. Later you visit the small town of Franschoek in a magnificent setting at the head of a valley, then elegant Stellenbosch, established 300 years ago and home to South Africa’s most prestigious university. Period buildings and historic streets reinforce the town’s dignified atmosphere.
We have an included lunch and time to explore this delightful town before enjoying a fascinating cellar tour and tasting at the award-winning Blaauwklippen Wine Estate.
Explore Cape Town - one of the world’s most naturally beautiful cities - at your leisure.
Cape Town, featuring British, Dutch and Cape Malay influences, is simply one of the world’s most naturally beautiful cities, with so much to offer the visitor! Today is at leisure to explore as you wish.
In addition to the excellent shopping and dining available within the tastefully restored Victoria and Alfred Waterfront complex, no visit to Cape Town would be complete without taking the revolving cable car to the summit of iconic Table Mountain, the unofficial symbol of South Africa and with breath-taking views.
You should also visit Robben Island (weather permitting), where Nelson Mandela spent most of his 27 years incarceration, and whose visitors have included Bill Gates, Margaret Thatcher, Bill Clinton and even Nelson Mandela himself. Wander through the Bo-Kaap area, the very image of small-town South Africa.
Alternatively, simply just wander where your feet take you, or relax a little, taking afternoon tea at the Mount Nelson, one of the great colonial hotels of the world: the choice is yours.
Transfer to the airport for your return flight.
