SPECIAL NOTES

•This PRE-Cruise Program begins in Johannesburg and therefore guests need to fly to Johannesburg’s O.R. Tambo International Airport .

•The following program details are for reference purposes only and subject to change based on flights that can be confirmed at or around 60 days prior to sailing.

•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.

•This program involves walking approximately 1-2 miles over various terrain at Victoria Falls and guests must be able to get in and out of the safari vehicles with little to no assistance.

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 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.

Check in time at your hotel is 3:00pm. 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.

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.

Enjoy an invigorating hike up to the top of Cape Town’s landmark, Table Mountain; paddle with the penguins in Simon’s Town; and explore Cape Point Nature Reserve on foot plus enjoy a full day at leisure to explore on your own. Perhaps go shark cage diving in Gansbaai, take a 4x4 game drive in Aquila or even cycle through the Cape Winelands!

Due to the nature of this program, it is not available for guests who have mobility restrictions. Guests need to be able to hike distances with inclines and steps and manage a 2-person ocean kayak. Participants must be at least 12 years of age or more.

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. There really is something for everyone here including boat cruises (ferries and sunset catamaran cruises), the Big Wheel, Two Oceans Aquarium, Zeitz Mocaa (Museum of Contemporary Art) and more.

Hotel check-in is at 2:00pm. Should you be arriving earlier, you may wish to book an extra night so that your room is available upon your arrival. Otherwise, luggage storage will be available at Reception until your room is ready.

The day is at your leisure with all meals on your own.

DAY 2

Following breakfast at the hotel, meet your hiking guide in the lobby of your hotel take a short transfer to Table Mountain. After a safety briefing and donning your gear, the group will hike up the side of Table Mountain. The starting point of the hike depends on the weather and wind conditions on the day.

The Platteklip Gorge hike is the quickest, easiest and most direct route to the summit of Table Mountain and therefore also the most popular. The approximate 2-mile route follows a well-constructed trail up a deep ravine on the iconic front face of the mountain. The average time to complete the hike is approximately 2-2.5 hours but it depends on your starting point. It is a challenging hike that gets steeper the higher you go. Be prepared for steps, inclines, boulders and little to no shade. Technical skills are not required but this is not recommended for beginner hikers, and it is recommended to drink plenty of fluids along the way.

The lower section leads up beside a stream, reduced to a trickle in summer (November to February), but gushing in winter (June to August). Further up, the gorge narrows between imposing cliffs. The setting gets more dramatic as the sidewalls close in, almost converging at the top and barely allowing access to the summit through a two-meter-wide corridor. The route offers stunning city and harbor views, restricted in the upper section by the sidewalls. Vegetation is fynbos (endemic shrub) with a patch of indigenous Afro-montane forest about a quarter of the way up.

Once you’ve reached the top, take some time to appreciate the magnificent views, savor a cold beverage and then take the cable car down to where your vehicle and driver await your return. Note: There are restrooms at the cable car station.

Transfer to a local restaurant and enjoy a well-deserved lunch followed by free time on Camp’s Bay or Clifton Beach, before returning to your hotel. The remainder of the day is at your leisure and dinner is on your own.

Note: Guests should wear comfortable hiking shoes or boots (non-slip, with grip and good ankle support), hat, sunscreen and bring a small backpack to carry water

DAY 3

Following breakfast at the hotel, meet your tour guide in the lobby of your hotel and depart for Simon’s Town where your ‘Penguin Paddle’ (kayaking) await you.

The African Penguin Colony at Boulders beach, Simonstown, is one of few land-based Penguin Colonies in South Africa where over 2500 birds are found.

Launch into the cool, clear, sparkling waters of the Atlantic Ocean, feel the spray of the salt-water dripping off the end of your paddle as you paddle your way through the rocky pools and outcrops around Boulders Beach. As the sun warms your shoulders, penguins skim the water below you, diving and dancing in the waves. Using stable, easy to paddle, two-man kayaks, explore the crystal waterways of this fascinating Penguin colony with your kayaking guide.

Please note: Paddling with Penguins involves kayaking on the ocean. Simonstown is a windy area in summer. Paddling into the wind is physically demanding, therefore guests need to be in good physical condition.

Enjoy lunch at a local restaurant in the area before moving to Cape Point Nature Reserve where you can visit both the spot where the two oceans meet and also take an optional walk up to the Cape Point Lighthouse for fantastic photo opportunities of the ocean and the cliffs.

Return to your hotel in the afternoon where a hospitality desk will be set up to help you plan your next day. There are plenty of options to sign up for (at own additional cost) and include but are not limited to Shark Cage Diving in Gansbaai, day safari’s, cycling in the Winelands and much more.

The remainder of the day is at your leisure and dinner is on your own.

Note: Guests should wear a bathing suit and cover up and shoes that can get wet (ideally not flip flops), also a hat and sunscreen. Bring a towel with and an extra set of clothing in case you get wet while on the kayaks.

DAY 4

After breakfast the day is at your leisure. Our hospitality desk team will be available again this morning to help you plan your day.

Alternatively, you may wish to simply enjoy a day at leisure perhaps making a visit to Zeits Mocaa (local art museum), having some retail therapy, hiring a bicycle for a leisurely ride in and around the waterfront and its adjoining areas, visiting the SA Museum or District Six Museum or enjoying high tea at the Mount Nelson to name a few. The choice is yours!

Lunch and dinner are on your own today.

DAY 5

This morning, perhaps consider a sunrise hike up Lions Head or a stroll along the Sea Point promenade with a freshly brewed cup of coffee before checking out and proceeding to the port where you will embark the ship.

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.

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.

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.

If received in a timely manner, at least 95 days before sailing, requests will be sent on the final manifest that our ground operators and hotels receive. We highly recommend packing your own supply, especially on programs that travel to more remote locations in order to avoid not having it. Please keep in mind the rule for liquids in carry-on bags. Many hotels will charge for distilled water. If there is a fee, this will be added to your hotel incidental account to be paid at check-out. Fees will vary from hotel to hotel.
