From bush walks to big game safaris, Africa’s southernmost countries—South Africa, Namibia, Botswana, and Zambia—beckon the adventurous traveler with a stunning diversity of landscapes and wildlife found nowhere else on Earth. An expedition of this scope—from Cape Town to Etosha National Park, the Okavango Delta, Victoria Falls, Sabi Sand Game Reserve, and Johannesburg in just 15 days—is only possible by traveling aboard our privately chartered aircraft, which allows us to set our own schedules, avoid lengthy and exhausting transit times, and maximizes the time spent at each destination.
Begin in Cape Town, with opportunities to explore the history of apartheid and the beauty of South Africa’s indigenous plants. Embark on a spectacular flight journey to the vast dunes of the Namib Desert. Fly over the Skeleton Coast, to Etosha National Park, one of Africa’s largest game parks.
In the Okavango Delta of Botswana a profusion of wildlife is found in the ancient mopane forests, lagoons, islands, seasonal flood plains, and open grasslands well known for large elephant herds as well as concentrations of lion, cheetah, and hippo. At the heart of this adventure is our safari “camp,” an essential base for intimately exploring the surrounding landscapes and reflecting on each day’s exploration.
Enjoy the powerful display of the Zambezi River cascading some 300 feet at Victoria Falls before concluding your adventure at the Sabi Sand Game Reserve, renowned for its extraordinary variety of habitats and wildlife populations.
