Mother city’s natural wonder

Cape Town, South Africa

Scenically beautiful, Cape Town is a compelling mix of trendy modern and old-world elegance. Glamorous hotels, world-class dining and stunning vistas merge seamlessly with dynamic student suburbs and vibrant nightlife. Malay and African heritage is evident in the cuisine, traditions and entertainment while the architecture reveals a strong Dutch, German and English flavour and style. Contemporary art is proudly displayed in a variety of galleries and modern boutique hotels, and wine bars and brandy tasting lounges will appeal to the fashionable set. For the well-heeled, the finest in opera, ballet, drama and music can be appreciated in style. A short boat cruise to Robben Island, you can experience a sense of hopelessness inside the prison cell where Nelson Mandela spent 27 years hard labour. A cable car trip up Table Mountain provides panoramic views over the city. Other attractions include the Cultural History Museum, the Castle of Good Hope, the world-renowned Kirstenbosch Botanical Gardens and the Victoria and Alfred Waterfront.

The Smoke That Thunders

Victoria Falls, Zimbabwe

When you wander through the lush rainforests above the Victoria Falls, newly baptised in the mist, your ears holding the echo of thundering waters, it isn’t hard to imagine that this is where it all began. Eden. As the land cuts away beneath the ancient Zambezi River, the waters plummet dramatically into the Batoka Gorge, over 100 metres below. The angrily churned up spray shoots skyward, painting the landscape in billowing clouds. This striking “smoke that thunders” can be seen for miles, a geographic pointer summoning visitors into its presence.

The vibrant town of Victoria Falls is known as the adventure capital of the world, and if your eyes light up at the thought of conquering the “Stairway to Heaven” or “The Terminator” in a raft, then this is the place for you. While the notorious Nyaminyami (Zambezi River God) watches from its mythical depths, and the majestic basalt cliffs allow your passage through the canyon’s exquisite landscape, adventure seekers are assured of a good time. From Grade 5 white-water rafting, bungee jumping and abseiling the amusement never ends.

Rich in a diversity of game

Khwai, Botswana

Nestled between the Moremi, Linyanti and Chobe game reserves, lies the vast Khwai area which is often misunderstood and under rated and comprises of the Khwai Private Reserve and Khwai Community Concession. Situated on a natural elephant migration route from the Okavango Delta, through Khwai River and on to Savute Marsh, this region is rich in a diversity of game. Elephant, buffalo, lion, hyena and leopard roam free, and sable, roan and other plains game are present in good numbers. Safaris here depend on the camp and season. Waterways, islands and grasslands are explored on foot and by boat and mokoro making for a serene experience.

A uniquely beautiful National Heritage Site

Okavango Delta, Botswana

A vast area of swamps, occasional flooded areas and dry land, the Okavango Delta is one of the largest, most intricate and unpredictable wetlands in the world. Safari experiences depend on the season and presence of water, and may include game drives, mokoro, boat excursions or guided walks. Set off on an early morning activity as the sun starts to rise and animals are at their most active. A refreshing coffee stop warms you up and provides the chance to listen to the sounds of the wild. Spend some time resting back at camp during midday, then set off again in the afternoon. Late afternoons extend into evening activities, and spotlights come out to help find the fascinating nocturnal species hiding in the darkness.
