On this journey through Zambia, Namibia and South Africa you’ll experience some of the most well renowned Safari Rides in South Africa if not around the world. Seeing the Big 5 wandering in their natural habitat is one of the most satisfying experiences I’ve ever had. This excursion will be filled with a never ending love of thrilling adventures, exploring nature and wildlife with multiple private safari game drives, hiking to the top of table mountain overlooking the pristine waters of cape town, having dinner at the Royal Livingstone above the spray of the magnificent Victoria Falls, whitewater rafting the Zambezi River, and hot air ballooning over the arid deserts of Namibia with world class luxury accommodations all along the way. This is just a snapshot of what will prove to be an incredible journey through this lower African region, detailed below. I hope you enjoy what’s taken years of thinking and months of preparation to guarantee this will be unlike any experience you’ve ever had before.
Welcome to Africa.
Detailed itinerary: (subject to change)

DAY 1: CAPE TOWN, SOUTH AFRICA
We start our journey in the picturesque city of Cape Town near the end of the African continent. Upon arrival, a car will collect you from CT International Airport and drop you off at our first hotel. This is a day for you relax from your long journey and to rest up for the activities that will follow. Suggestion: arrive as early as possible on that day to give yourself that extra time, there is plenty to do in the neighborhood and most are walking distance. We will spend three nights at the new Radisson Red Hotel at the waterfront in the Silo district. The architecture in this area is stunning and Zeitz MOCCA which sits right next door, is made from old concrete silo. This contemporary Art Museum features many African artists.

At night we’ll catch up on some movies in the open air cinema. Relax on your own lounge chair while sipping cocktails in the middle of the Namibian desert gazing upon the Milky Way (sounds horrible, right?). On our last afternoon we’ll take a thrilling hot air balloon ride over this vast gorgeous desert at sunset. Instagram won’t be ready for this.
