A range of authentic experiences await for you to discover Africa. We start this incredible journey in Cape Town, discovering its many treasures from iconic Table Mountain to Boulders Beach, or tracing the steps of Nelson Mandela to learn about his life and legacy; and his fight for equality and peace.
You will then fly to Victoria Falls and head west to the Botswana and Namibian borders to embark on a Chobe River safari cruise, where magnificent wildlife awaits in the Chobe National Park, known as the ‘Land of Giants’.
Chobe National Park is home to Africa’s largest elephant population and one of the densest concentrations of wildlife in the world. Spot hippos frolicking in the water, mighty elephants, elegant giraffes, leopards, zebras and buffaloes on excursions by boat and open-air vehicles. Did you know the word ‘Safari’ means ‘journey’ in Swahili, one of the main languages spoken in Tanzania?
The superb Zambezi Queen is an intimate 28-passenger ship, designed specifically for wildlife viewing on the legendary Chobe River. As she drifts along the river, animals perceive no threat, affording you once-in-a-lifetime game experiences. To ensure no harm to the environment, the eco-friendly Zambezi Queen uses a water jet propulsion system, fuel-efficient and low-emission generators, and a solar heating system.
Onboard this luxury ship, guests will enjoy lounge and bar on the top deck, as well as an open-air Sun Deck complete with plunge pool. Its suites feature private balconies where you can admire the views of the river and African landscape.
Our wonderful journey will then take us to the majestic Victoria Falls and you also have the option extend your trip in Johannesburg.
To make this experience even more memorable you can book a Rwanda extension to discover its epic wildlife and natural wonders, including the Volcanoes National Park, home to the rare Mountain Gorillas and Golden Monkeys.
