    Victoria Falls Hotel, Victoria Falls, Zimbabwe Day 12-15

    Day12-14

    The Victoria Falls need no introduction. The collection of spectacular statistics and superlatives do no justice to this Natural Wonder of the World which can only be truly appreciated by being there. The Falls form the border between Zimbabwe and Zambia and can be viewed from both sides – each affording its own spectacular views. The mighty Zambezi River runs between the two towns of Victoria Falls ( Zimbabwe ) and Livingstone ( Zambia ).

    The Victoria Falls National Park contains the rain forest surrounding the falls and the Zambezi National Park is one of the most beautiful of all Zimbabwe’s parks and is situated immediately upstream from the centre of town. This area which boasts great ecological diversity is fantastic for walking safari opportunities and some of the most beautiful and exciting canoeing routes in the world.

    An oasis of human activity in the midst of the vast African bush hosts an excellent range of activities from white-water rafting to the tranquil ride on an African elephant, a bungi jump of 111m to a relaxing canoe trip on the Zambezi.

    For almost 100 years, visiting members of Royal families, international and local statesmen, and celebrities worldwide, have preferred to stay at The Victoria Falls Hotel, where they are assured of privacy and care. An atmosphere steeped in history, combining the charm of the old with the comfort and convenience of today.

    Kwara Camp, Okavango Delta, Botswana Day 9-11

    Kwara is located in the remote northern part of the stunning Okavango Delta within the private Kwara concession. The camp fronts onto a huge floodplain, adjacent to the permanent water of the Delta and is backed by extensive bush. It is a magnificent wilderness area in excess of 1,700 square kilometres, bordering the Moremi Reserve.

    No trip to Botswana is complete without a visit to the Delta, the shimmering and unique watery jewel in the middle of the Kalahari Desert. Kwara encompasses a wide diversity of habitats, ranging from the clear Delta waters with reed-lined lagoons and channels, to open grasslands, mopane woodlands and palm-fringed islands.

    The eight luxury safari-style tents are built on raised decks, within a grove of huge and ancient African Ebony trees. Resident hippos will generally serenade you year round from the water on the floodplain in front of the camp. Each tent has its own viewing deck, private en-suite facilities including hot and cold running showers, flush toilets and modern amenities. The forested island on which the camp sits is typical of those encountered throughout the vast 1.6 million hectares of the Okavango Delta. At Kwara, you will discover why the Okavango is considered one of the ecological wonders of Africa and indeed the world. It is mysterious, calming, unpredictable and very wild.

    Here our guests can enjoy a diverse wildlife experience all year-round, but the focus is definitely on the water. Whether gliding along in the special silence of a mekoro dug out canoe through crystal-clear waters or visiting the famous Godikwe lagoon, where you can stand on a boat literally eye to eye with thousands of herons, storks and other nesting birds. Kwara is the nearest camp to this famous spectacle in Moremi Game Reserve.

    Other species you can encounter through the channels and rivers are kingfishers, pygmy geese, fish eagles, jacanas, darters and if you’re really fortunate, the elusive Pels Fishing Owl.

    Along with the bird watching, we’re able to offer fishing (both spinner and fly), walks with a guide on one of the many palm-fringed islands and also spectacular night drives on top of our morning and afternoon drives. The beauty and charm of Kwara will captivate you.

    The Kwara area is also home to a variety of wild animals including, lechwe, sitatunga, reedbuck, bushbuck, hippo, crocodiles, elephant, buffalo, sable, roan, zebra, giraffe, wildebeest, impala and tsessebe. Lion, hyena, wild dog, leopard and cheetah are abundant in this part of the Delta and regularly seen.

    Cape Grace, Waterfront, Cape Town, South Africa Day 1-4

    On arrival at Cape Town Airport you will be transferred to the Cape Grace.

    The city of Cape Town has become one of the most popular long haul holiday destinations in the world. This is not surprising considering it is situated at the base of Table Mountain, one of the most recognisable mountains in the world. Add to that the gorgeous beaches, incredible and unique cuisine, world class wines, vibrant night-life, warm African hospitality, intriguing culture and history, exceptional bio-diversity, whale-watching, ocean kayaking, scuba diving, sailing, kaleidoscopic wild flower blooms, mind-blasting walking & rock climbing opportunities and the fact that a National Park runs right through the city and you may wonder why you aren’t there right now.

    Cape Town also offers a variety of tours around the city and further a field, to the Cape Winelands, Cape Point and the Cape of Good Hope, Kirstenbosch Gardens and Township Tours.

    With a classically inspired exterior and gracefully elegant within, Cape Grace is set on its own private quay on Cape Town’s vibrant Victoria & Alfred Waterfront. Cape Grace’s charm lies in its intimate atmosphere, stylish décor and unique personalised hospitality, where you will find staff warm and flexible, with a spirit of unrivalled generosity.

    When Charles Brand, his wife Beth and parents Chippy and Cynthia opened the doors of Cape Grace to the world in December 1996, their vision was a hotel that felt more like a good friend’s home. In an understated way the décor and environment needed to reflect its 5-star aspirations. But, more importantly, staff needed to relate to guests as personal hosts, with warmth and a sense of comfort in their own individuality.
    At every level there is complete trust in the idea that if everyone is the best they can individually be, all else will follow.

    Victoria Falls Day 12, 13, 14-15

    Day 12, 13 & 14 

    The Victoria Falls need no introduction. The collection of spectacular statistics and superlatives do no justice to this Natural Wonder of the World which can only be truly appreciated by being there.

    The Falls form the border between Zimbabwe and Zambia and can be viewed from both sides – each affording its own spectacular views. The mighty Zambezi River runs between the two towns of Victoria Falls (Zimbabwe) and Livingstone (Zambia). Victoria Falls is an ideal kick-off point for forays into the wilderness areas of Zimbabwe and Botswana.

    Victoria Falls, the town, is completely surrounded by national parks. The Victoria Falls National Park contains the rain forest surrounding the falls and the Zambezi National Park is one of the most beautiful of all Zimbabwe’s parks and is situated immediately upstream from the centre of town. This area which boasts great ecological diversity is fantastic for walking safari opportunities and some of the most beautiful and exciting canoeing routes in the world.

The grand finale being a leisurely afternoon boat cruise on the Chobe River against the backdrop of a magnificent African sunset.

    Chobe National Park
    The Chobe National Park is one of Africa’s finest game sanctuaries. Situated in the far north of Botswana, Chobe encompasses a wide variety of diverse habitats offering extreme contrasts, and is home to a breathtaking variety of animals and birds.
    Chobe River Front
    The Chobe is famous for its abundance of elephants – the highest concentration of elephants to be found anywhere in the world. Chobe is also famous for its huge herds of Buffalo, for its rich birdlife, and for its exquisite sunsets – a wildlife experience not to be missed.
    Savuti
    In sharp contrast to the lush Chobe river front is the seemingly endless desolate landscape of the Savuti, famous for the dry marsh, sand ridge and volcanic hills which are unique to this area. The marsh once contained the waters of the Makgadikgadi superlake, and the most typical feature of the landscape are the dead trees – evidence of the erratic flow of the Savuti channel over the years. The area consists of large open game-filled plains, and is home to a variety of dry-land animals, including zebra, wildebeest, kudu, giraffe, wild dog, leopard, cheetah and lion.

    Exploring after dark with spotlights offers you an opportunity to experience some of the nocturnal animals that are rarely encountered during the day. We will also have the opportunity to explore the surrounding wilderness on foot and enjoy an up close and personal encounter with Botswana’s flora and fauna.

    Okavango Delta & Moremi Game Reserve
    The Okavango is a unique ecosystem, an inland delta situated in the middle of the largest stretch of continuous sand in the world – the Kalahari basin. This wetland lies like an oasis in an otherwise inhospitable landscape. Where land and delta meet, a mosaic of pans, grasslands, forests and lagoons provide an extremely rich and diverse habitat where a multitude of animals and birds flourish. This wetland is one of the natural wonders of the world, and is a fragile ecosystem that remains one of the world’s least spoilt and most beautiful wildernesses, and is home to various unique species e.g. sitatunga antelope and red lechwe.

    Moremi Game Reserve is situated in the eastern corner of the Okavango Delta. Moremi is one of the most beautiful and varied reserves found on the African continent with huge concentrations of wildlife and incredible scenery. The reserve consists of both swamped areas e.g. Xakanaxa, and dry-land areas e.g. Khwai.

From the magnificent Gemsbok crossing the endless plains to the rare Brown Hyena, not to mention Aardwolf, Giraffe, Ostrich, Zebra, Wildebeest, Eland, Springbok, Lion, Leopard, Cheetah and the Wild Dog. The area is also an important crossroad for much larger mammals that migrate between the Okavango and Chobe in the North and Boteti in the South. Elephants have crossed this area since the great lake, leaving a network of age-old paths that lead from pan to pan in search of water and grazing. This area was also an important crossroad for the early European explores, such as David Livingston. It was through this wilderness he passed on his way to discovering the mighty Victoria Falls.
