Victoria Falls, Zimbabwe: Travel down the Zambezi River above the Falls for the "sundowner" cruise. The Zambezi Explorer is a modern, luxury solar-powered catamaran. Enjoy the best of the river in comfort and style while witnessing the abundant wildlife. Celebrate the setting African sun, the epitome of any travels to Victoria Falls, as you share in the end-of-day ritual which sees wildlife head to the river for their last drink of the day.

The following day, you will be collected for your shared tour of The Falls. It’s no surprise why Victoria Falls is one of the seven Natural Wonders of the World! You'll understand it instantly as you tour the Zimbabwean side. This astounding gift of nature simply takes your breath away. Listen to the thunderous noise, as millions of gallons of water surge over the falls into a series of narrow gorges below.

Enjoy an afternoon at leisure for independent exploration, shopping or even just relaxing then embark on a unique cultural dining experience. Nestled amidst the Gusu forest and partially open to the African night skies lies "The Boma – Dinner & Drum Show".

Chobe National Park, Botswana: Board safari vehicles for a full day of game viewing in the Chobe National Park. The Chobe River flows through the renowned Chobe National Park providing a haven for herds of grazing animals and birdlife. Just sit back, relax, and keep those binoculars handy.

Be on the lookout for large herds of elephants kicking up dust as they wait their turn to drink at the water's edge, crocodiles sunbathing on the banks of the river, glorious birdlife and wonderful game-like giraffes, zebras, hippos & more. Can it get any better? Enjoy lunch at a lodge overlooking the river.

Cape Town, South Africa: With its majestic Table Mountain backdrop, Cape Town is one of the most vibrant and beautiful cities in the world. Take a peninsula tour along the scenic coastal roads. Explore the eclectic mix of architectural styles, reflecting both the tastes of the past and more modern designs. Edwardian and Victorian buildings have been meticulously preserved, and many outstanding examples of Cape Dutch architecture are found in the city and its environs. Enjoy dinner at GOLD Restaurant in Cape Town, offering an authentic African experience. So much more than just an African restaurant, a night at GOLD is an immersive experience that will take you on a 14-dish taste-safari paired with traditional Mali puppets and entertainment.
