Day By Day

Itinerary

23 Nov 2027
Cape Town

This magical multicultural city is the perfect jumping off point to explore Southern Africa, but do make sure you linger a few days to enjoy the buzz of a city where Africa meets a European-style cosmopolitan atmosphere, creating a vibrant melting pot of cultures and religions. With flat-topped Table Mountain soaring above the city, beautiful natural landscapes, and gardens within the city, you never feel far from nature here. Enjoy the waterfront, museums and elegant architecture, then take the time to venture further afield - there is so much within easy reach.

Memory Tip: Don't miss Robben Island is a must, possibly the most well known island-prison in the world. Make sure you book ahead - the ferries leave at specific times and numbers are limited.

Victoria Falls

Victoria Falls is one of Africa’s most spectacular natural wonders, known as ‘Mosi-oa-Tunya’ in the local Lozi language - ‘the smoke that thunders’. The falls straddle the border between Zambia and Zimbabwe, at the point where the Zambezi river plunges into a deep gorge.

Chobe National Park

Botswana’s magnificent Chobe National Park is one of Africa’s most impressive wildlife destinations, home to huge herds of elephants and Cape buffalo, which are drawn to the banks of the Chobe river to drink in the drier winter months.

Johannesburg

Johannesburg is a city that comes with plenty of baggage, but urban renewal is transforming former no-go zones into the city’s most happening new neighbourhoods, and there are some excellent museums for those who want to grapple with South Africa’s difficult past.
