• Adventure activities to immerse yourself in nature
• World-class wineries and restaurants in the Cape Winelands

This is an introduction to Southern Africa like no other. Jump in at the deep end, exploring the thundering Victoria Falls and getting up close and personal with Zimbabwe’s wildlife. Then be transported to the vibrant Cape Town at the foot of Table Mountain and take in the culture and excitement of the capital.

Set on the banks of the Zambezi, the luxurious Old Drift Lodge offers true intimacy with nature. It’s an ideal base for river safaris and game drives within the rich Zambezi national park. The park is home to elephants, lions, leopards and buffalo among an array of wildlife.

A tour of Victoria Falls takes you first through the lush jungle until reaching the spectacular waterfall itself. Thrill-seekers can dive into a range of high-adrenaline activities, from white water rafting to bungee jumps. The Okavango Delta lies just across the border in Botswana and offers an excellent reason to extend your journey. This stunning verdant landscape is home to some of Africa’s most captivating and elusive species.

On your arrival in Cape Town, glittering seas and dramatic mountains vie for your attention. This is the backdrop of Twelve Apostles Hotel & Spa, a luxuriant oasis nestled among the energy of the city. The second half of your itinerary offers the chance to get to know this historic yet modern city, steeped in culture and natural beauty. Explore the green vineyards, set off on a trail through the Table Mountain national park or soak up the pristine beaches of Camps Bay. Cape Town offers some of the finest restaurants, bars and art galleries that the world knows. There is no shortage of adventure to be had.

Victoria Falls

The Zambezi River is nearly two kilometres wide at Victoria Falls. The gorges down which the river tumbles are a haven for nature and home to several species of endangered and migratory bird species. Stunning iridescent mist which is created by the plummeting water can be seen from more than 20 kilometres away and gives rise to the delicately balanced rainforest-like ecosystem at the foot of the waterfall.

Cape Town

After looking down at the spectacular view of the city from the top of Table Mountain, take some time to explore Cape Town’s historical and cultural offerings. Robben Island, where Nelson Mandela spent 18 years imprisoned, is one of the capital’s most interesting destinations, providing thought-provoking and stirring tours. The Museum of Contemporary African Art gives a fascinating insight into African society today.
