Escape into the wild on an unforgettable two-night stay at five-star Kichaka Lodge, where thrilling game drives, free-roaming wildlife, elegant water-facing suites, and sundowners beneath the African sky create an intimate safari experience in the malaria-free Lalibela Wildlife Reserve.

DAY 1

Disembark in Port Elizabeth and meet your driver/guide who will accompany you on a road transfer to Lalibela wildlife Reserve and onto Five star rated Lalibela Kichaka Lodge. Your journey will take approximately 1.5 hours.

Set within the malaria-free Lalibela Wildlife Reserve, Kichaka Lodge is an intimate five-star sanctuary shaped from natural stone and thatch, allowing it to blend elegantly into the surrounding bush. At its heart lies a waterhole that draws wildlife close to the lodge—hippos and elephants among the possible visitors—while refined safari-inspired interiors create an atmosphere that is both sophisticated and warmly inviting. Days unfold between generous indoor and alfresco dining spaces, cocktails overlooking the reserve, and memorable boma dinners beneath a canopy of African stars. A private library offers a peaceful retreat between adventures.

Leisure is equally considered. A rim-flow swimming pool and panoramic spa overlook the waterhole, while a fully equipped gym provides an option for more active downtime. Each of the lodge’s 10 secluded suites is designed as a private bush haven, complete with its own deck, heated plunge pool, and outdoor shower—an indulgent setting from which to absorb the sights and sounds of the reserve.

Upon arrival, complete the lodge formalities before settling into the unhurried rhythm of safari life.

After a leisurely lunch, retreat to your suite before heading into the reserve on an afternoon game drive. Guided by an experienced ranger, travel through varied landscapes in search of free-roaming wildlife as the heat softens and the bush becomes more active. Each drive offers its own sense of discovery—from grazing antelope and giraffe to elephants, hippos, and the possibility of encountering predators. As daylight fades, pause for a classic sundowner before continuing beneath the deepening African sky.

Return to the lodge after the game drive and enjoy time to refresh in the privacy of your suite before dinner, sharing the evening’s sightings over fine cuisine.

DAY 2

Spend a full day at Lalibela Kichaka enjoying all it has to offer.

Start the day with an early morning game drive, exploring the reserve in search of the Big Five and other wildlife before returning for a leisurely breakfast. Relax at the lodge during the day, taking in the peaceful bush surroundings.

Between game drives, enjoy guided bush walks (subject to availability), restorative spa treatments (additional cost), wildlife viewing from the rim-flow pool or your private deck, and the fully equipped fitness center.

After lunch and some free time, head out on an afternoon game drive, stopping for sundowners in the wilderness before returning to the lodge for a memorable dinner.

DAY 3

Following an early morning wake-up call, gather your belongings. Enjoy a cup of coffee or tea, receive your breakfast box, and complete check out formalities.

Bid the staff farewell and depart from the lodge for Port Elizabeth Airport to check in and board a flight to Cape Town.

On arrival at Cape Town International Airport, you are met and transferred approximately 30 minutes to Cape Town Harbour where you will re-join the ship.

Journey from the vine-clad estates of the Cape Winelands to the untamed beauty of Greater Kruger on an extraordinary South African escape. Begin in Stellenbosch at the historic Lanzerac Hotel & Spa, set among vineyards beneath the Jonkershoek Mountains, where a seven-course wine-pairing dinner celebrates the estate’s acclaimed vintages. Then fly into the wild for three nights at Lion Sands River Lodge, an exclusive riverside retreat bordering Kruger National Park. Here, dawn and dusk game drives with expert rangers and trackers reveal lion, leopard, elephant, rhino and buffalo roaming an unfenced wilderness. Exceptional wines, refined retreats and thrilling Big Five encounters come together in a seamless celebration of luxury, adventure and discovery.

NOTES:

•Space is limited.

•Scooters cannot be accommodated.

•Please see further below for entry requirements for each destination

DAY 1

Disembark in Port Elizabeth and meet our local representatives for a transfer to the airport. Here you will check in for a domestic flight to Cape Town, where the celebrated vineyards and mountain-framed estates of the Cape Winelands await. Note: the flight is not accompanied.

On arrival at Cape Town International Airport, meet our local representative and continue to Stellenbosch, one of South Africa’s most distinguished wine regions, for an elegant overnight stay.

Set on a historic wine estate beneath the dramatic Jonkershoek Mountains, Lanzerac Hotel & Spa captures the timeless romance of the Cape Winelands. Vineyards, landscaped gardens and graceful Cape Dutch architecture create a tranquil retreat just minutes from the boutiques, galleries and oak-lined streets of Stellenbosch.

The hotel’s beautifully appointed rooms balance the estate’s rich heritage with contemporary comforts. Several dining venues showcase refined local cuisine and Lanzerac’s award-winning wines, while the acclaimed spa, indoor and outdoor pools and peaceful gardens invite unhurried relaxation.

A stay at Lanzerac offers an enticing introduction to the Winelands lifestyle, from estate wine tastings and leisurely garden strolls to exploring Stellenbosch’s nearby shops and galleries. Blending centuries-old character with polished modern luxury, the estate provides an exceptional setting for your first evening ashore.

Check in and spend the remainder of the afternoon at leisure, perhaps unwinding at the spa, strolling through the gardens or simply admiring the vineyard and mountain views.

This evening, savor a seven-course wine-pairing group dinner at Lanzerac’s Manor Kitchen Restaurant or a similar venue, where each course is thoughtfully complemented by wines from the estate.

DAY 2

After breakfast, you will be met and returned to Cape Town International Airport for a flight to Skukuza Airport gateway to the celebrated Greater Kruger wilderness.

On arrival, a representative welcomes you for the journey into Lion Sands Private Game Reserve. The transfer itself offers a first taste of safari, as the bushveld unfolds around your open vehicle before you arrive at Lion Sands River Lodge, your luxurious home for the next three nights.

Set along the banks of the Sabie River within the exclusive Lion Sands Private Game Reserve, River Lodge places guests at the heart of one of Africa’s most celebrated wildernesses. Bordering Kruger National Park and forming part of a vast, unfenced ecosystem, the reserve invites extraordinary encounters with the Big Five—lion, leopard, elephant, rhino and buffalo. Riverine forest, open savannah and indigenous bushveld create a captivating natural backdrop for exceptional year-round game viewing.

Contemporary elegance meets untamed Africa at Lion Sands River Lodge, where spacious suites overlook the Sabie River and beautifully designed guest spaces flow effortlessly into the surrounding landscape. Between morning and afternoon game drives with expert guides and trackers, unwind beside the pool, savor refined cuisine or join an optional guided bush walk for a more intimate perspective on the wilderness. Warm hospitality, remarkable wildlife encounters and the reserve’s renowned treehouse sleep-out experiences create an irresistible blend of indulgence and adventure.

Arrive at River Lodge in time for lunch, then settle into your suite and absorb the serenity of the riverside setting. Later, venture into the bush on your first afternoon game drive, as the golden light transforms the landscape and the reserve’s wildlife begins to stir.

The thrill of a Big Five sighting is only part of the experience. With a highly qualified guide revealing the intricate rhythms of the bush, each drive becomes an invitation to look closer—from the drama of iconic wildlife to the subtle tracks, birds and smaller creatures that bring this remarkable ecosystem to life.

After an exhilarating afternoon in the wilderness, return to the lodge to refresh before gathering for a delectable dinner—a fitting finale to your first unforgettable day on safari.

DAY 3

Awaken to the rhythms of the bush and set out at first light, when the air is cool and wildlife is often most active.

Look for lions returning from the night’s hunt, elephants moving between feeding grounds, rhinos grazing in the soft morning light and graceful antelope emerging onto the open plains.

After breakfast, the hours between drives are yours: relax by the pool, arrange an optional spa treatment at your own expense, or settle on the safari deck with binoculars in hand. Perhaps choose a guided bush walk subject to arrangements, for a closer look at tracks, plants and nocturnal species.

Later, as the afternoon cools, set out once again for an exciting game drive before returning to the lodge for a delicious dinner.

DAY 4

A second full day at Lion Sands River Lodge allows the safari story to deepen. Morning and afternoon game drives create fresh opportunities to observe the reserve’s remarkable cast—from buffalo, giraffe and zebra to playful warthogs, troops of monkeys and, with luck, elusive predators such as leopard, cheetah or hyena.

Between adventures, savor three included meals and the unhurried pleasures of Lion Sands: a peaceful swim, optional spa time at your own expense, or quiet moments on the deck as birdsong and the movement of wildlife provide the day’s natural soundtrack.

DAY 5

Following one last morning game drive and breakfast, complete check-out formalities and embark on a transfer back to Skukuza Airport. Check-in and board a domestic flight to Johannesburg.

On arrival at O.R. Tambo International Airport, collect your luggage, proceed through immigration and meet our representative for a transfer toward Rosebank, one of Johannesburg’s most stylish leafy neighborhoods.

En route, embark on a brief tour of Soweto, a place of remarkable cultural energy and profound historical importance in South Africa’s journey to democracy. Highlights include Vilakazi Street and the Mandela House Museum before continuing to your refined boutique hotel in central Rosebank.

Settle in and have some time at leisure. Browse Rosebank’s nearby shops and galleries or unwind beside the rooftop pool and terrace as the city softens into sunset.

This evening, gather for dinner at the hotel, where the Level Four dining experience brings a polished culinary close to the day.

DAY 6

After an early breakfast—or a prepared breakfast box—depart for O.R. Tambo International Airport and check in for a regional flight to Walvis Bay, Namibia. Note: flight is not accompanied.

On arrival, clear customs and immigration (entry paperwork to complete before arrival), collect your luggage and meet our local representative. A 30- to 40-minute transfer leads to Walvis Bay harbor, where the ship awaits and your Southern African overland journey draws to a graceful close.

Mills Manor is an exclusive-use home style villa offering an idyllic and private safari getaway for families and small groups. The villa has a relaxed home-away-from-home ambience and is staffed with a private safari guide and vehicle, chef and service staff. The gables, high ceilings, large rooms and wide wrap-around veranda are typical of the Edwardian farmhouses of the region, built at a time when high wool prices and the ostrich feather boom allowed farmers to build stately family homes.

The villa is set on a hill overlooking a waterhole, which means that game viewing continues even after game drives. The Big Five and other game species are free roaming throughout Lalibela and the waterhole at Mills Manor attracts regular visits from animals.

On arrival at Lalibela Mills Manor, check in and enjoy lunch before heading out on a sunset safari.

Facilities within the villa include a well-stocked bar, spacious lounge and gracious dining room. Outside there is a swimming pool and sun deck, a large fire pit and barbeque area where outside fire lit dinners can be served under the African sky. The wide, shady veranda offers cool respite from the sun and a place to relax between activities. With 5 bedrooms (3 king rooms and 2 king/twin rooms), Mills Manor can accommodate a maximum of 10 guests. All rooms are air-conditioned and have wide stack doors opening out onto private verandas in indigenous gardens with valley views beyond. Rooms will not be assigned but can be allocated amongst yourselves when you arrive.

Game drives are conducted in 4-wheel drive open vehicles and after dark spotlights are used, giving you the opportunity to view nocturnal creatures and carnivores on the hunt. Sundowners and light snacks will also be served in a clearing in the bush during sunset game drives.

DAY 2 - June 9, 2026

Once part of a region where wildlife roamed freely, the reserve has been thoughtfully restored and today stands as an award-winning sanctuary, supported by a dedicated wildlife research team and anti-poaching unit committed to preserving this remarkable ecosystem for generations to come.

Upon arrival, check in to Bayethe Tented Lodge, whose name derives from the African greeting “By-ye-ti,” meaning “I salute you”—a fitting introduction to the warmth and grace that define the experience here. Tucked amid lush indigenous vegetation, this secluded retreat feels worlds away, offering exceptional privacy, serene surroundings, and sweeping views across the bushveld.

Each tented suite is designed for indulgent comfort, featuring an indoor bath, an indoor or open-air shower, a private plunge pool, and a well-stocked minibar—thoughtful touches that elevate every moment between safari adventures.

On arrival, check in after which a light lunch will be served, and you will have some time to settle in.

The highlight of your day will no doubt be the dusk game drive, giving you the best opportunity to see many of the animals at their most active. Along the way enjoy a sundowner in the bush with some snacks.

After your game drive you will return to the lodge for dinner.

DAY 2

Another early morning start allows you one last chance to head out into the wild for a morning game drive in search of the Big Five and countless other fascinating creatures that make their home in the Eastern Cape.

On your return, breakfast will be served followed by check-out.

In six extraordinary days, journey from the vine-draped valleys of the Cape Winelands to the thundering spray of Victoria Falls and the wildlife-rich banks of the Chobe River. Toast your first evening with a seven-course wine-pairing dinner on a historic Stellenbosch estate. Then stand before “The Smoke That Thunders” in April, when the Falls are typically near their most powerful. In Chobe, set out by safari vehicle or boat as great elephant herds gather at the water’s edge. A final evening in Johannesburg, enriched by the stories of Soweto, completes this seamless Southern African journey before you rejoin your ship in Walvis Bay.

NOTES:

•Space is limited.

•This program involves walking over uneven, wet ground at Victoria Falls. Guests should be in good physical condition. Wheelchairs and scooters cannot be accommodated.

•Please see further below for entry requirements for each destination

DAY 1

Disembark in Port Elizabeth and meet our local representatives for a transfer to the airport. Here you will check in for a domestic flight to Cape Town, where the celebrated vineyards and mountain-framed estates of the Cape Winelands await. Note: the flight is not accompanied.

On arrival at Cape Town International Airport, meet our local representative and continue to Stellenbosch, one of South Africa’s most distinguished wine regions, for an elegant overnight stay.

Set on a historic wine estate beneath the dramatic Jonkershoek Mountains, Lanzerac Hotel & Spa captures the timeless romance of the Cape Winelands. Vineyards, landscaped gardens and graceful Cape Dutch architecture create a tranquil retreat just minutes from the boutiques, galleries and oak-lined streets of Stellenbosch.

The hotel’s beautifully appointed rooms balance the estate’s rich heritage with contemporary comforts. Several dining venues showcase refined local cuisine and Lanzerac’s award-winning wines, while the acclaimed spa, indoor and outdoor pools and peaceful gardens invite unhurried relaxation.

A stay at Lanzerac offers an enticing introduction to the Winelands lifestyle, from estate wine tastings and leisurely garden strolls to exploring Stellenbosch’s nearby shops and galleries. Blending centuries-old character with polished modern luxury, the estate provides an exceptional setting for your first evening ashore.

Check in and spend the remainder of the afternoon at leisure, perhaps unwinding at the spa, strolling through the gardens or simply admiring the vineyard and mountain views.

This evening, savor a seven-course wine-pairing group dinner at Lanzerac’s Manor Kitchen Restaurant or a similar venue, where each course is thoughtfully complemented by wines from the estate.

DAY 2

After breakfast, you will be met and returned to Cape Town International Airport for a regional flight to Victoria Falls, where the landscapes of Southern Africa unfold in dramatic style. Note: the flight is not accompanied. Visas are required for entry to Zimbabwe.

On arrival, meet our local representative and continue to the award-winning Lookout Café for lunch, served in a spectacular setting above the Batoka Gorge.

Following lunch, transfer to the Palm River Hotel, your elegant riverside retreat for the next two nights.

Set amid towering indigenous trees on the tranquil banks of the Zambezi River, the Palm River Hotel feels wonderfully secluded yet lies only four kilometres upstream from Victoria Falls. On clear, quiet days, the distant thunder and rising spray of the Falls may be seen and heard from the property.

Contemporary rooms pair natural textures and warm tones with private balconies overlooking the gardens or river. Spacious bathrooms feature open showers and double vanities, while thoughtful comforts include a writing desk and fully equipped tea and coffee station.

This afternoon, step directly from the hotel’s riverfront onto a sunset cruise along the Zambezi. Drinks and light snacks accompany the golden-hour passage as hippo, crocodile, elephant and prolific birdlife may appear along the banks.

Beyond the river, the hotel offers an infinity pool, spa, gym and gracious indoor-outdoor dining. Complimentary afternoon tea is served to resident guests, while the alfresco bar rests beneath a leafy canopy with serene views toward the Zambezi.

Check in and enjoy time to settle into your surroundings before the sunset cruise. Return to the hotel for dinner at the Palm River Restaurant, where fresh local ingredients and riverside ambience set the tone for the evening.

DAY 3

After breakfast, depart for a guided encounter with magnificent Victoria Falls, known locally as Mosi-oa-Tunya— “The Smoke That Thunders.” Follow rainforest pathways to a succession of dramatic viewpoints overlooking the cascades, the deep Batoka Gorge and the powerful Zambezi River.

Your expert guide reveals the Falls through stories of its geology, history, wildlife and luxuriant flora, including the 1855 account of explorer David Livingstone. In the high-water season, immense veils of spray rise above the gorge, catching the light in shifting rainbows.

The two- to three-hour walk offers an unforgettable appreciation of the scale and beauty of this UNESCO World Heritage Site. Comfortable walking shoes, sun protection and a lightweight waterproof jacket are recommended, as the most exhilarating viewpoints can be enveloped in mist.

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 difficulty walking or who require use of a wheelchair or scooter. Walking distance will be 2-4km (1.24 – 2.48 miles).

Afterward, spend approximately two hours visiting a local village before sharing a home-hosted luncheon—an intimate opportunity to experience regional traditions, everyday life and warm Zimbabwean hospitality.

Thereafter, return to the Palm River Hotel for a leisurely afternoon by the infinity pool, in the spa or simply enjoying the riverfront gardens.

This evening, enjoy dinner at the hotel before retiring to the quiet of your riverside room.

DAY 4

After breakfast, you may choose an optional helicopter flight over Victoria Falls at your own expense. Aptly known as the “Flight of Angels,” this exhilarating aerial journey reveals the full sweep of the Falls, the winding Zambezi and the sculpted Batoka Gorges—an extraordinary perspective and a photographer’s dream.

Complete check-out formalities and bid farewell to the Palm River Hotel before travelling across the border into Botswana. Continue to Chobe Game Lodge, enviably positioned within Chobe National Park itself.

Set beneath a canopy of trees on the wildlife-rich Chobe River, Chobe Game Lodge is Botswana’s oldest five-star lodge and the only permanent lodge within the national park. Its privileged location allows guests to venture into the wilderness at first light, when the riverfront and surrounding plains are at their most stirring.

The lodge’s spacious, air-conditioned rooms each open onto a private river-facing terrace. A 250-metre boardwalk traces the waterfront, creating secluded vantage points for watching elephants, antelope and birdlife. Between safaris, unwind by the pool, visit the spa or settle into one of the lodge’s inviting lounges and complimentary bars.

Safari experiences unfold both on land and water, including exceptionally quiet outings in the lodge’s pioneering electric vehicles and solar-powered boats. Your fully inclusive stay covers accommodation, meals, selected beverages and twice-daily safari activities, pairing polished comfort with a thoughtful commitment to conservation.

Arrive in time for lunch and check in, then pause to absorb the rhythms of the river before setting out on your first game activity—either a game drive or a river cruise. Chobe is renowned for having one of Africa’s largest concentrations of elephants, and great herds often gather at the river’s edge to drink, bathe and swim. On land, look for Cape buffalo, giraffe, zebra, kudu, impala and the elegant sable antelope. Lion, leopard and spotted hyena may also appear, along with the rare puku and the Chobe bushbuck.

From the water, see pods of hippo, Nile crocodiles basking on sandbanks and red lechwe grazing the floodplains. More than 450 bird species have been recorded in the park, from the African fish eagle and African skimmer to colorful kingfishers and stately storks.

As dusk settles over Chobe, return to the lodge for dinner and an evening immersed in the sounds of the African wilderness.

DAY 5

Rise early for a final game drive, when the cool morning light brings Chobe’s landscapes vividly to life. Return for a full breakfast, then gather your belongings and complete check-out formalities.

Bid the lodge team farewell and transfer approximately 20 minutes to Kasane Airport for a direct regional flight to Johannesburg. Note: flight is not accompanied.

On arrival at O.R. Tambo International Airport, collect your luggage, proceed through immigration and meet our representative for a transfer toward Rosebank, one of Johannesburg’s most stylish leafy neighborhoods.

En route, embark on a brief tour of Soweto, a place of remarkable cultural energy and profound historical importance in South Africa’s journey to democracy. Highlights include Vilakazi Street and the Mandela House Museum before continuing to your refined boutique hotel in central Rosebank.

Settle in and have some time at leisure. Browse Rosebank’s nearby shops and galleries or unwind beside the rooftop pool and terrace as the city softens into sunset.

This evening, gather for dinner at the hotel, where the Level Four dining experience brings a polished culinary close to the day.

DAY 6

After an early breakfast—or a prepared breakfast box—depart for O.R. Tambo International Airport and check in for a regional flight to Walvis Bay, Namibia. Note: flight is not accompanied.

Journey from the vineyard-draped valleys of Stellenbosch to the untamed wilderness of Greater Kruger on an extraordinary Southern African escape. Begin at historic Lanzerac Hotel & Spa, where Cape Dutch elegance, award-winning estate wines and a seven-course wine-pairing dinner unfold beneath the dramatic Jonkershoek Mountains. Then fly north to Kapama Private Game Reserve, home to the legendary Big Five. At Kapama Southern Camp, exhilarating morning and afternoon game drives with expert rangers and trackers are balanced by spacious suites, gourmet dining and unhurried moments beneath the African sky. Conclude in Johannesburg with a moving glimpse of Soweto, including Vilakazi Street and the Mandela House Museum, before an onward flight to Walvis Bay to rejoin your ship.

NOTES:

•Space is limited

•Scooters cannot be accommodated

•Please see further below for entry requirements for each destination

DAY 1

Disembark in Port Elizabeth and meet our local representatives for a transfer to the airport. Here you will check in for a domestic flight to Cape Town, where the celebrated vineyards and mountain-framed estates of the Cape Winelands await. Note: the flight is not accompanied.

On arrival at Cape Town International Airport, meet our local representative and continue to Stellenbosch, one of South Africa’s most distinguished wine regions, for an elegant overnight stay.

Set on a historic wine estate beneath the dramatic Jonkershoek Mountains, Lanzerac Hotel & Spa captures the timeless romance of the Cape Winelands. Vineyards, landscaped gardens and graceful Cape Dutch architecture create a tranquil retreat just minutes from the boutiques, galleries and oak-lined streets of Stellenbosch.

The hotel’s beautifully appointed rooms balance the estate’s rich heritage with contemporary comforts. Several dining venues showcase refined local cuisine and Lanzerac’s award-winning wines, while the acclaimed spa, indoor and outdoor pools and peaceful gardens invite unhurried relaxation.

A stay at Lanzerac offers an enticing introduction to the Winelands lifestyle, from estate wine tastings and leisurely garden strolls to exploring Stellenbosch’s nearby shops and galleries. Blending centuries-old character with polished modern luxury, the estate provides an exceptional setting for your first evening ashore.

Check in and spend the remainder of the afternoon at leisure, perhaps unwinding at the spa, strolling through the gardens or simply admiring the vineyard and mountain views.

This evening, savor a seven-course wine-pairing group dinner at Lanzerac’s Manor Kitchen Restaurant or a similar venue, where each course is thoughtfully complemented by wines from the estate.

DAY 2

After breakfast, you will be met and returned to Cape Town International Airport for a flight to Hoedspruit, gateway to the celebrated Greater Kruger wilderness.

On arrival, a lodge representative welcomes you for the journey into Kapama Private Game Reserve. The transfer itself offers a first taste of safari, as the bushveld unfolds around your open vehicle before you arrive at Kapama Southern Camp, your luxurious home for the next three nights.

Spanning approximately 15,000 hectares near Greater Kruger, Kapama protects a rich mosaic of savannah, riverine forest and classic bushveld. This varied terrain supports the legendary Big Five—lion, leopard, elephant, rhinoceros and Cape buffalo—along with giraffe, zebra, wildebeest, kudu, impala, warthog, hyena and an extraordinary variety of birdlife. Every drive is different, and sightings can never be guaranteed, yet the reserve’s biodiversity creates exceptional opportunities for memorable encounters.

Kapama Southern Camp pairs understated five-star style with the warmth of a classic African lodge. Spacious, air-conditioned suites feature elegant interiors, generous en-suite bathrooms and private patios that open to the sights and sounds of the bush. Between safaris, linger beside the pool and deck, retreat to the inviting lounge and library, or enjoy beautifully presented cuisine in the open-sided dining room and, when conditions allow, beneath the stars in the atmospheric boma.

Settle in over lunch, then enjoy time to refresh in your suite and absorb the stillness of the reserve before setting out on your first afternoon game drive.

With an expert guide and tracker interpreting fresh spoor, alarm calls and subtle movements in the grass, safari becomes far more than a search for the Big Five. You may pause for a herd of elephants at a waterhole, watch giraffes browse among the trees, follow zebra and antelope across the plains, or scan the shadows for a leopard. As daylight turns golden, the reserve reveals the intricate relationships that make this wilderness so compelling.

Return to Southern Camp as evening settles over the bush, then freshen up before a delicious dinner—an elegant finale to your first day on safari.

DAY 3

Awaken to the rhythms of the bush and set out at first light, when the air is cool and wildlife is often most active.

Look for lions returning from the night’s hunt, elephants moving between feeding grounds, rhinos grazing in the soft morning light and graceful antelope emerging onto the open plains.

After breakfast, the hours between drives are yours: relax by the pool, arrange an optional spa treatment at your own expense, or settle on the safari deck with binoculars in hand. Perhaps choose a guided bush walk subject to lodge arrangements, for a closer look at tracks, plants and nocturnal species.

Later, as the afternoon cools, set out once again for an exciting game drive before returning to the lodge for a delicious dinner.

DAY 4

A second full day at Kapama allows the safari story to deepen. Morning and afternoon game drives create fresh opportunities to observe the reserve’s remarkable cast—from buffalo, giraffe and zebra to playful warthogs, troops of monkeys and, with luck, elusive predators such as leopard, cheetah or hyena.

Between adventures, savor three included meals and the unhurried pleasures of Southern Camp: a peaceful swim, optional spa time at your own expense, or quiet moments on the deck as birdsong and the movement of wildlife provide the day’s natural soundtrack.

DAY 5

Following one last morning game drive and breakfast, complete check-out formalities and embark on a transfer back to Hoedspriut Airport. Check-in and board a domestic flight to Johannesburg.

On arrival at O.R. Tambo International Airport, collect your luggage, proceed through immigration and meet our representative for a transfer toward Rosebank, one of Johannesburg’s most stylish leafy neighborhoods.

En route, embark on a brief tour of Soweto, a place of remarkable cultural energy and profound historical importance in South Africa’s journey to democracy. Highlights include Vilakazi Street and the Mandela House Museum before continuing to your refined boutique hotel in central Rosebank.

Settle in and have some time at leisure. Browse Rosebank’s nearby shops and galleries or unwind beside the rooftop pool and terrace as the city softens into sunset.

This evening, gather for dinner at the hotel, where the Level Four dining experience brings a polished culinary close to the day.

DAY 6

After an early breakfast—or a prepared breakfast box—depart for O.R. Tambo International Airport and check in for a regional flight to Walvis Bay, Namibia. Note: flight is not accompanied.

On arrival, clear customs and immigration (entry paperwork to complete before arrival), collect your luggage and meet our local representative. A 30- to 40-minute transfer leads to Walvis Bay harbor, where the ship awaits and your Southern African overland journey draws to a graceful close.

Please Note: Land programs that encompass multiple days ashore customarily include extensive and prolonged activity, while those of shorter durations typically have more moderate activity levels. However, each program varies, and participants should be prepared to negotiate a mixture of surfaces which may include inclines, cobblestones, sand, and gravel or natural paths. There may also be a need to climb steps or stairs on occasion. Guests who utilize a wheelchair and those with mobility concerns are advised to check with the cruise line in advance to see if any portion of the tour program may not be considered suitable for their individual situation. Weather appropriate clothing; hats; sunglasses; and flat, comfortable walking shoes are generally recommended.

All land programs are capacity controlled and subject to availability. Programs falling under the minimum number of required participants are subject to cancellation.
