Africa

Day 1-4: Cape Town (South Africa). Seafood on the waterfront, a trip to historic Robben Island, views from Table Mountain and a day enjoying a charming village and tasting wine around Franschhoek and Stellenbosch.

Day 4-8: Skeleton Coast & Sossusvlei (Namibia). Few locations are as evocative and atmospheric as the haunting Skeleton Coast and the gigantic red Sossusvlei dunes. Spot mountain zebra, desert elephants, lion, leopard and cheetah in the sun baked landscape.

Day 8-10: Okavango Delta (Botswana). One of the most spectacular wildernesses on earth. Clear waterways and far-reaching plains teeming with animals.

Day 10-11: Victoria Falls (Zimbabwe). The mighty Zambezi flows over the falls with a spray of mist and the sound of thunder.

Day 11-14: Serengeti (Tanzania). Lion lounge on the veldt and giraffe browse acacia trees. Millions-strong herds of wildebeest

pour along the plains. Tanzania is home to the world’s largest game populations while the mythical Maasai go about their lives.

Day 14-16: Volcanoes National Park (Rwanda). Gorilla encounter. Among spectacular volcanoes you will trek in the cloud forests, with the chance to meet a family of mountain gorillas.

Missing the beach? Combine your visit to the Serengeti with a stay on the spice island of Zanzibar.
