Getaway to the Garden Route – a roughly 186-mile (300km) drive of spectacular beauty along the southwest coast of South Africa. Known for its ecologically diverse vegetation, numerous lagoons, forests, lakes, and beautiful beaches, this region is easily accessible by road from Cape Town and highlights all the beautiful sights South Africa has to offer. Come face to face with a myriad of wildlife, flora and fauna during a 4x4 game drive in Botlierskop Private Game Reserve. Visit a working ostrich farm, explore the Cango Caves and board a ferry cruise in Knysna lagoon for lunch and scenic views. This option is perfect for those who have done a safari before, for those who don’t want to fly during their program and for those who are lovers of all things nature.
Day 1
Disembark the ship in Cape Town and meet your driver-guide. Travel overland to Botlierskop Private Game Reserve. The drive takes approximately 4.5-5 hours but the scenery along the way will keep you captivated.
Pass by diverse vegetation and wildlife, lagoons, lakes, mountains and forests. And then once you arrive at Botlierskop, prepare to immerse yourself in a landscape where wildlife and flora leave you even more captivated and transformed.
Family-owned and proudly independent, Botlierskop promises an unforgettable escape for nature lovers, adventure seekers, and those who simply want to unwind amid South Africa’s most spectacular landscapes.
Nestled along the peaceful Moordkuil River, Botlierskop’s tented suites are carefully positioned to provide guests with a secluded, serene retreat. Each stylish suite features a private wooden deck, where you can soak in sweeping vistas of shimmering rivers, lush game reserve, and towering mountain backdrops.
Your stay unfolds across 6,000 hectares of unspoiled wilderness. While on safari, enjoy close-up encounters with Africa’s iconic wildlife in a malaria-free reserve, where lions, elephants, buffaloes, rhinos, and cheetahs roam freely alongside zebras, giraffes, hippos, and more.
On arrival, enjoy lunch followed by check-in formalities and some time to get acquainted with your surroundings. Enjoy breathtaking views of the mountains and landscape from your open plan suite and your private verandah.

Day 3
After a relaxing breakfast, check-out, and drive to Cango Caves for a 1-hour Heritage tour.
Your visit commences with details on the real discoverers and inhabitants of the cave and then winds its way through the rest of the Caves’ cultural and historical heritage. It’s an easy walk through the first six largest and most spectacular halls and continues through to the "African Drum room".
Experienced and knowledgeable guides will accompany you on this journey of discovery and knowledge.
Departing the Cango Caves, travel over Outeniqua Pass and you make your way to the town of Knysna, passing George and Sedgefield enroute. One of the main attractions in Knysna is its lagoon or estuary. There are five freshwater rivers flowing in from the surrounding Outeniqua Mountains meeting with the surge of sea water from the Indian Ocean through the mighty headlands known as the Knysna Heads.
On arrival, embark on a double-decker boat lunch cruise on the Knysna lagoon (not private). Some of the bird species that may be spotted around the lagoon include sandpipers, stilts, herons, the malachite and pied kingfishers, black oyster catcher, African fish eagle, Knysna woodpecker, and Knysna warbler. Dolphins may also be seen exploring the warm waters here at any time.
Following the cruise, transfer to your next overnight hotel for dinner and the evening at leisure. The 5-star Turbine Boutique Hotel and Spa was an ambitious project which transformed an old power station into a unique hotel. All the old machinery which was used in this power station has been restored and forms an integral part of the hotel’s aesthetics. Enjoy its fascinating history as you walk past massive turbines on the balcony and marvel at the intriguing steel pillars and pipes that now form part of the hotel’s quirky décor.

Make sure to pack accordingly and bring any medications and cruise documents with you and make sure your name is clearly indicated on your suitcase.
Upon arriving in the Victoria Falls airport, another local representative will meet and assist you with your transfer to the Palm River Hotel where a light lunch (time permitting) will be enjoyed followed by check-in and some free time to explore the hotel and its grounds or participate in an optional activity or tour offered by the hotel (at own cost).
Discover an oasis of elegance and tranquillity at the Palm River Hotel, where sophisticated luxury blends seamlessly with the warmth and comfort of home. Set along the scenic banks of the legendary Zambezi River and enveloped by towering indigenous trees, this exceptional hotel offers panoramic, uninterrupted views while ensuring your privacy and serenity are always preserved.
Ideally located just 4 kilometres from the majestic Victoria Falls, Palm River Hotel puts you at the threshold of one of the world’s most awe-inspiring natural wonders. On clear, peaceful days, you can experience the distant roar and misty spray of the falls right from your room—a truly unforgettable backdrop to your stay. With its perfect balance of central convenience and secluded tranquillity, the Palm River Hotel welcomes you to indulge in the ultimate escape.
Later in the afternoon, transfer to the Zambezi River and embark on a sunset cruise (shared departure). Depending on the size of the group the boat may either be a covered single level sightseeing boat or a larger boat with multiple levels. Enjoy a beverage from this vantage point whilst watching the sunset and possibly sighting hippos, crocodiles, various birdlife and maybe even an elephant or two along the banks of the river.
Following the cruise, and weather permitting, a Riverside Dining Experience offers authentic African-style barbeque dining within an unparalleled setting on the edge of the Zambezi River. The diverse menu includes traditional Zimbabwean specialities, fresh salads and flavour-filled side options. The experience also includes traditional entertainment.

Located on the border between Zambia and Zimbabwe, Victoria Falls is the world’s largest curtain of falling water, based on the falls’ one-mile width and height of 360 feet. It’s an amazing spectacle to watch as the Zambezi River roars over the edge of a basalt gorge, forming what locals call Mosi-Oa-Tunya or “the smoke that thunders.” In November 1885, after seeing the falls for the first time, Scottish explorer and Doctor David Livingstone re-named them after Queen Victoria.
A path along the edge of the rainforest provides visitors with an unparalleled series of views of the falls but be prepared to get wet from the tremendous spray!

NOTE: the cobblestone walkways within the rainforest can be slippery if wet and some spots are at a gradient. Proper walking shoes that have a good grip should be worn, and guests should wear appropriate clothing to get wet. Due to the amount of walking and terrain, this program is not suited for guests who have walking difficulty or who utilize a wheelchair or scooter. Walking distance will be 2-4km (1.24 – 2.48 miles).

The journey from the base to the summit takes just under 4 minutes and one can enjoy spectacular views, as the floor of the car rotates 360 degrees during the ascent and descent.
Table Mountain gets its name from the flat-topped central massif of the mountain, which, viewed from the city, is surrounded by Devil’s Peak on the left, Lion’s Head on the right and Signal Hill in the foreground. From the summit, the natural protected area stretching from Signal Hill to Cape Point has been managed under the custodianship of the National Parks Board.

After some free time to browse through the well-stocked curio shop, depart on a return transfer to Cape Town.
The remainder of the day will be at your leisure and dinner is on your own.

Spend today at leisure, exploring the beautiful ‘Mother City’ at your own pace. Consider a ferry trip to Robben Island (pre-bookings are essential), an open Red Top bus trip to numerous destinations, a hike up Lion’s Head, wine tasting in the Winelands, or simply visiting numerous attractive beaches i.e. Camps Bay, Blouberg Beach or similar.

DAY 1
Disembark in Cape Town, meet your guide and transfer to your city-based hotel. En-route you will have an orientation tour.
Check-in is at 2:00pm and although every effort will be made to have rooms available before this time, this cannot be guaranteed. Luggage storage will be available should you wish to head into the city to explore on your own. Meals are on your own today.
Your hotel is located in the heart of Cape Town’s V&A Waterfront, offering easy access to top attractions like the Two Oceans Aquarium, Zeitz MOCAA, and a variety of shops and restaurants. The hotel features modern amenities and a 24-hour hospitality desk to assist guests with local recommendations and bookings, making it an ideal base for exploring the city.
DAY 2
After breakfast and check out, you will be met and transferred to the Cape Town International Airport for a flight to Victoria Falls Airport in Zimbabwe.
As guests may only bring one piece of checked luggage per person, excess luggage (1 piece per person, 20 kg / 44lbs.) will be shipped via courier to Johannesburg where you will be re-united with it on Day 5. Make sure to pack accordingly and bring any medications and cruise documents with you.
Upon arriving at the Victoria Falls Airport, proceed through Customs and Immigration. You will then be met and transferred to the Palm River Hotel. Visas are required. Please see further below for details.

Back at your hotel, enjoy a Riverside dining experience which offers an authentic African barbecue-style dinner surrounded by the wilderness of the Zambezi National Park.
DAY 3
After breakfast and check out, transfer to the Victoria Falls Rainforest where you will have a guided walk.
Located on the border between Zambia and Zimbabwe, Victoria Falls is the world’s largest curtain of falling water, based on the falls’ one-mile width and height of 360 feet. It’s an amazing spectacle to watch as the Zambezi River roars over the edge of a basalt gorge, forming what locals call Mosi-Oa-Tunya or “the smoke that thunders”. In November 1885, after seeing the falls for the first time, Scottish explorer and Doctor David Livingstone re-named them after Queen Victoria.
A path along the edge of the rainforest provides visitors with an unparalleled series of views of the falls but be prepared to get wet from the tremendous spray!
NOTE: the cobblestone walkways within the rainforest can be slippery if wet and some spots are at a gradient. Proper walking shoes that have a good grip should be worn, and guests should wear appropriate clothing to get wet. Due to the amount of walking and terrain, this program is not suited for guests who have walking difficulty or who utilize a wheelchair or scooter. Walking distance will be 2-4km (1.24 – 2.48 miles).
Continue your journey by road across the Zimbabwe – Botswana border to Chobe Chilwero. Here you will check in, enjoy lunch at the lodge and then some free time to get acquainted with your surroundings.
Chobe is home to the world's largest remaining population of African elephants and this ultra-exclusive lodge – the only one in the area with a full-service spa – sits on a hill high above the Chobe River affording unparalleled panoramic views over the well-tended gardens to the islands and floodplains beyond, stretching as far as Namibia.
On your game drive, be on the lookout for elephant, lion, leopard, and buffalo to name a few. Chobe is also home to two antelope that aren’t encountered anywhere else in Botswana, the puku and the Chobe bushbuck. Declared a national park in 1967, Chobe was the first established in Botswana and now covers more than 4,500 square miles of dry savannah, floodplains, and teak woodlands that are ideal animal habitats.
After what is sure to be an amazing game drive, return to the lodge for dinner.
DAY 4
After an early-morning wake-up call and coffee or tea in the lobby, embark on a morning game drive with your safari ranger.
Returning from your morning safari, a full breakfast will be served after which you will have free time to do as you wish at the lodge. Perhaps take a nap, enjoy a service at the spa (own account), sign up for a photographic safari or some fishing (own account and subject to availability), or simply relax and enjoy your surroundings.
Following lunch, enjoy a sunset safari into the bush and then return to the lodge for dinner.
DAY 5: March 13, 2027
Time permitting, enjoy one last game drive followed by breakfast and check-out before a transfer to the Kasane Airport for your flight to Johannesburg, South Africa.
Upon arrival at Johannesburg’s O.R. Tambo International Airport, you will be met and assisted through passport control and baggage claim. You will then be escorted to your hotel where the remainder of the day is at your leisure. Your hotel is located within walking distance of the terminal.
At the hotel you will be reunited with any luggage that was shipped from Cape Town. Lunch and dinner are on your own today.

Discover Namibia in style on an overland journey through some of Africa’s most arresting landscapes, from the Atlantic-fringed desert plains of Walvis Bay to the sculpted dunes of Sossusvlei and the red-gold horizons of the Kalahari. Along the way, intimate lodges, expert guiding, sundowners beneath immense skies and moments of profound desert silence reveal a country as luxurious in space as it is unforgettable in spirit.
Note:
•This program includes driving up to 5 hours at a time with short stops along the way for refueling and refreshments
•Roads within the Namib Desert may include bumpy terrain, gravel and dusty conditions. This program is not recommended for guests with back or neck injuries or for those who cannot sit for long periods of time.
•This program is limited to 10 guests.
DAY 1 - March 5, 2027
Depart Walvis Bay with your guide, leaving the Atlantic coast for Namibia’s vast interior, where gravel plains, sculpted mountains and ancient desert valleys unfold in cinematic scale.
The journey to Desert Hills Lodge is part of the allure, with photo-worthy vistas through the Kuiseb and Ghaub mountain passes before the landscape softens toward Sesriem and the Namib’s ochre horizons.
Set on a natural stone outcrop near Sesriem, Desert Hills Lodge commands sweeping views across the Namib Desert and the foothills of the Naukluft Mountains. Its
The lodge’s freestanding and rounded thatched chalets echo traditional forms while blending naturally into the rocky desert setting. Inside, cool neutral tones, air conditioning and thoughtful comforts create an inviting retreat, while private sundecks open to sunrise, starlight and uninterrupted desert views.
After check-in, unwind by the pool or on the sunset deck before dinner, perhaps pausing at the lodge’s wine cellar or simply watching the desert turn copper and rose beneath an immense night sky.
As the night sky darkens, take advantage of the on-site telescope for evening stargazing against the clear desert sky.
DAY 2 - March 6, 2027
Wake to the stillness of the desert, where first light brushes ancient rock and the day begins with coffee before an expertly guided journey to Sossusvlei and Sesriem Canyon.
Venture into Namib-Naukluft National Park, a realm of towering dunes and surreal desert pans. Stand beneath Dune 45, explore the haunting beauty of Deadvlei’s sun-bleached trees and take in the vast, rust-red silence of one of the world’s most extraordinary landscapes. A picnic-style breakfast amid the dunes adds a memorable touch to the morning.
Your guide brings the desert to life, revealing its rare adaptations, hidden wildlife and the dramatic geology of Sesriem Canyon, shaped over millennia by wind, water and time.
Return to Desert Hills Lodge for lunch and a leisurely afternoon at your own pace, whether relaxing on your private terrace, lounging on the wooden deck beside the swimming pool which offers sweeping views of the surrounding desert panorama or or surrendering to the quiet beauty of the surroundings.
As evening falls, a mountaintop sundowner offers a fitting finale, with drinks and light snacks served against sweeping Namib panoramas as the horizon shifts through gold, crimson and copper.
Return to the lodge for dinner, ending the day with lingering impressions of dunes, canyon walls and the desert’s unforgettable light.
DAY 3 – March 7, 2027
After a leisurely breakfast, leave the Namib behind and journey east with your guide toward the vast, red-gold landscapes of the Kalahari.
En route, Namibia reveals its remarkable range: open plains, distant mountains and quiet rural settlements, with opportunities to pause for photographs and hear your guide’s insights into the region’s history, culture and desert-adapted ecosystems.
Arrive at Kalahari Anib Lodge for lunch and a relaxed afternoon amid the Kalahari’s iconic red dunes and golden grasslands, where the pace softens and the wilderness feels wonderfully close.
Unwind by the pool, linger on the shaded terrace or simply take in the quiet beauty of this distinctive semi-desert setting.
Your “Comfortable Room” is a freestanding chalet that faces the open savannah and features a private veranda, air conditioning, en-suite showers, and an in-room coffee station.
As the heat of the day begins to fade, set out on a sundowner nature drive through rolling dunes and open savanna, watching for springbok, oryx, ostrich and birdlife before pausing for drinks and light snacks as the sky deepens into shades of orange, rose and crimson.
Return to the lodge as dusk settles over the Kalahari, then enjoy dinner beneath a vast desert sky, closing the day with impressions of red earth, starlight and Namibia’s timeless silence.
DAY 4 – March 8, 2027
Begin the day with an early breakfast as the Kalahari stirs to life, then check out and take a final moment to absorb the lodge’s peaceful desert surroundings before continuing onward.
Rejoin your guide for the scenic drive to Windhoek, a final passage through Namibia’s shifting landscapes of open plains, distant hills and wide horizons.
Along the way, your guide shares parting insights and stories, bringing this remarkable desert journey full circle.
Arrive at Hosea Kutako International Airport for an onward flight to Cape Town, carrying with you memories of towering dunes, extraordinary wildlife, luminous desert skies and the warmth of Namibian hospitality. From silent valleys to sunset-colored horizons, Namibia leaves an impression that lingers long after the journey ends.
Upon arrival at Cape Town International Airport, transfer to Cape Town Harbour, where you will re-board the ship.
