From iconic Cape Town, South Africa, to the magnificent Victoria Falls, experience the beauty of the destinations along your journey through Southern Africa. Start your adventure in Cape Town, where you will discover treasured experiences at the Cape of Good Hope, Boulders Beach and Robben Island. Next, fly to Victoria Falls, one of the seven wonders of the natural world, and head west to embark on your Chobe River cruise. Explore the Chobe National Park, home to one of Africa’s densest populations of wildlife, during your time on board Zambezi Queen. Conclude your journey with three nights at the majestic Victoria Falls. You may also choose to extend your journey with an additional two nights in Johannesburg for an enriching conclusion to your adventure.

What's Included

  • In the morning, transfer to the airport for a flight to Victoria Falls. Here, you will be transferred to the Chobe River that forms the border between Botswana and Namibia. Tender boats will transport you to Zambezi Queen, moored on the Namibia side of the river. Settle into your stateroom, enjoy a mid-afternoon snack, and in the evening, be treated to a Welcome Cocktail Reception and Dinner. (B,D)
  • Embark on a morning boat safari and experience the Chobe River’s diverse game viewing. Afterwards, return to Zambezi Queen for lunch. As the ship cruises along the Chobe River, you can spend time in the splash pool, visit the spa or perhaps catch up with your favorite book. Later in the day, revel in the panoramic views with another boat safari opportunity. (B,L,D)
  • Start your day off with a boat safari. Later, a local African village invites you to experience the local culture firsthand. Spend time with the children of the village as well as its elders and learn about their day-to-day life. After lunch on board, you can choose between a boat safari, bird watching or fishing. Spend your last evening aboard reveling in a festive African-themed dinner hosted by your crew—complete with singing and dancing. (B,L,D)
  • Disembark and join a wildlife safari of Chobe National Park in open-top 4x4 vehicles. Be on the lookout for elephants, giraffes, zebras, sable, warthogs and cape buffaloes. Prides of lions, hyenas and (more rarely) cheetahs may also appear along the way. For lunch, take a seat under the trees and savor a delicious picnic. Later this afternoon, transfer to Victoria Falls, then enjoy a special dinner with live local entertainment at your hotel. (B,L,D)
