Print ITINERARY

Days 1–4 Cape Town Arrival in Cape Town, a vibrant metropolis with an exceptional location between Table Mountain and Table Bay. Cape Town is rightly considered one of the most beautiful cities in the world. The Cape Cadogan is located right in the city centre, with numerous restaurants, bars and shops close by. To relax, a spa, a gym and a swimming pool are available. The ‘Mother City’ has a lot to offer – Cape Town’s main sights are best discovered on a private guided tour (optional, on request). Set off to discover Cape Town’s iconic mountain, the majestic Table Mountain (weather permitting/optional visit). From there, you enjoy a breathtaking panoramic view of the city, the surroundings and the coast. The tour then takes you to the colourful Bo-Kaap quarter, whose pastel houses with their oriental-influenced architecture date back to the 18th century. The historic city centre, including the Castle of Good Hope, can also be visited if you wish (admission not included). Another highlight is the full-day guided excursion to the Cape of Good Hope (optional, on request), one of the most beautiful scenic routes in South Africa. The route passes the magnificent Kirstenbosch Botanical Garden and the charming penguin colony at Boulders Beach. The Cape of Good Hope is the most south-westerly point of the African continent. The return journey along the spectacular Chapman’s Peak Drive (optional/not included) offers unforgettable views of the spectacular coastal scenery and the vastness of the Atlantic Ocean. Overnight at the Cape Cadogan or similar.

Day 5 Windhoek Today you fly from Cape Town to neighbouring Namibia. Depending on your arrival time, you will have time to discover Windhoek, the Namibian capital, at your own pace. Overnight at the Olive Exclusive All-Suite Hotel or similar.

Days 6–8 Sossusvlei After a transfer to Eros domestic airport, you continue your journey by light aircraft to Sesriem, then by road to your accommodation. Little Kulala lies just a few kilometres from the entrance to the national park that is home to Sossusvlei, famous for some of the highest sand dunes in the world. On the second day, you take part in a full-day excursion to discover Sossusvlei. The lodge is set on a 37,000-hectare private property with direct access to the park – saving precious time on the guided outings to the dunes. Little Kulala’s luxurious suites are furnished in a contemporary style and each has a private pool as well as a Sleep-out Deck, a terrace set up for spending the night under the stars. Overnight at Little Kulala or similar.

Day 9 Windhoek region During the day, you head to the Sesriem airstrip for your return flight to Windhoek. You land at Eros Airport. A transfer then takes you to your accommodation. Overnight at the Gmundner Lodge or similar.

Days 10–11 Victoria Falls Today you fly from Windhoek to Victoria Falls, where you continue to your next accommodation. The next day, you have the opportunity to visit the spectacular Victoria Falls, where the Zambezi River plunges 110 metres into an impressive gorge. The spray, often crossed by a rainbow depending on the sunlight, offers a magical natural spectacle. Your accommodation is located near the falls, in the heart of a nature reserve. From the hotel terrace, you can watch a waterhole frequented by animals. The restaurant serves refined cuisine, accompanied by delicious cocktails at sundowner time. Overnight at the Stanley & Livingstone or similar.

Days 12–14 Okavango Delta Early in the morning, you are picked up from your accommodation in Victoria Falls for a transfer to Botswana. After arriving in Kasane, you board a light aircraft to the famous Okavango Delta. During the flight, you enjoy a spectacular view of the countless waterways of the world’s largest inland delta, a UNESCO World Natural Heritage Site. The alternation between seasonal floods and rains ensures a constant water supply, creating an ideal habitat for exceptional wildlife diversity. Your lodge is located in a private concession in the heart of the delta. Vumbura Plains Camp consists of just 14 exclusive, luxurious tented suites, perfectly integrated into the surrounding nature. Go in search of wildlife on safaris in an open off-road vehicle and on guided bush walks, or glide silently across the water in a mokoro (traditional dugout canoe, depending on the season). Vumbura Plains Camp is part of the prestigious Wilderness Safaris company, which is strongly committed to sustainable tourism in the service of conservation. Overnight at Vumbura Plains Camp or similar.

Day 15 Maun After a morning safari, you leave the enchanting wilderness behind and take your return flight to Maun. End of the trip or individual extension.
