COVER IMAGE

The lion is the second-largest living cat. Lions are now a vulnerable species, having seen their population decline in Africa between 30-50% during the last two decades of the 20th century. Africa’s lion population is now unsustainable outside of national parks. Conservation of these majestic animals was behind the setup and maintenance of parks and game reserves including Etosha National Park in Namibia, which you can visit on our Extraordinary Namibia journey on page 55, the Serengeti National Park in Tanzania, which you will explore on our Handpicked Kenya & Tanzania trip on page 59 and the world famous Kruger National Park in South Africa. See pages 14 – 37 for our range of journeys through South Africa.

35YEARS

You sit back, glass in hand, enjoying the last rays of golden light filtering through the trees as you reminisce on your favourite parts of the day.

It’s a rewarding feeling, buoyed with fresh memories of unexpected adventures, plenty of laughs and some incredible food. In this very moment you come to understand why we create journeys the way we do.

After an exciting morning of activities, a welcome lunch was spent chatting with new friends whose ancestors have lived in the area for generations. A peaceful afternoon brought encounters with wildlife that you never thought you’d see, in a jaw-dropping landscape that you know you’ll never forget.

And when you are on the verge of sleep, beneath a million stars and ensconced in a suite representing the essence of unique travel, you will know why so many people embark on a life-long love affair with the wonderful continent of Africa.

Each canoe holds two guests, their bedrolls and bags. You should be strong enough to paddle your own canoe but no previous experience is necessary as tuition is readily given to beginners and novices. The only must is a desire to really explore wild Africa!

A typical itinerary for the Selinda Canoe Trail may be as follows:

DAY 1The first day starts at the airstrip at Selinda. Depending on your arrival time there may be a game drive around the reserve. After lunch continue to the departure point for the canoes.

After a short introduction to the canoes and safety briefing it is a gentle 40 minute paddle to the first camp. The staff have already left early this morning so the camp is set up and ready for you to have a good look around before sunset, drinks and dinner. (L)(D)

By far the greatest falls in Africa and a natural wonder of the world, Victoria Falls is also known as “Mosi-oa-Tunya”.

ESSENTIAL VICTORIA FALLS3 DAYS / 2 NIGHTS from $665*

The Kingdom Hotel is the closest hotel to the actual Victoria Falls. The hotel is architecturally designed in the style of the Great Ruins of Zimbabwe and located just minutes away from Victoria Falls National Park where game ranging from warthogs to elephants roam freely.

Built in 1904, the Victoria Falls Hotel was the very first hotel built at the Falls and exudes colonial charm with all the modern comforts expected of a luxury hotel. The hotel perfectly depicts the grand age of travel and lies in manicured gardens with views of Victoria Falls Bridge.

Situated on a private concession, The Elephant Camp is a luxurious lodge with breathtaking views of the Victoria Falls spray and spectacular gorges that separate Zimbabwe and Zambia. It is close to Victoria Falls and all its attractions.

Victoria Falls Safari Lodge is set high on a natural plateau in pristine bush. Four kilometres from the thundering Falls and adjacent to Zambezi National Park, the lodge is ideally positioned to watch game all year round and the sunsets seen from the lodge are spectacular.

The Victoria Falls were described by David Livingstone as “scenes so magical they must have been gazed upon by angels in flight”.


The Avani Victoria Falls Resort (formerly the Zambezi Sun) is located on the eastern cataract of the Victoria Falls. The hotel’s architecture reflects earthy colours and is inspired by an Africa villa with finishes decorated by various mosaics and fabric.

The Royal Livingstone is a serene and gracious refuge from the heat of the African sun. The luxurious rooms are tastefully decorated, with amazing views of the river and acacia forest. The hotel is located in the Mosi-Oa-Tunya National Park, near Victoria Falls.

Sindabezi Island is an exclusive camp on its own private isle on the Zambezi River. It has only five open-sided thatched cottages, allowing guests to soak up the sights and sounds of the African bush. Many guests combine Sindabezi with a stay at sister property, Tongabezi Lodge, a short boat ride away.

David Livingstone Safari Lodge and Spa occupies an unbeatable bankside position on the Zambezi. There’s no match for its levels of service and luxury spa facilities, and its infinity pool, rooms and suites all look out to the river. The lodge is positioned to maximise the views of Siloka Island.

To put Victoria Falls into true perspective, they must really be seen from the air. The sheer size and grandeur of the spectacle becomes all the more clearer from above. A 12-minute flight will take you over the Falls and the Zambezi River.

You will be collected from your hotel and driven to the Falls. The Falls are described as one of the seven Natural Wonders of the World. Find out how the Falls were formed and the local customs and traditions that surround them.

The most popular activity in Victoria Falls is a cruise on the river above the waterfall. This part of the river is characterised by a multitude of small and large islands, clad with lush tropical vegetation. It is an area of renowned scenic beauty.

MARA SERENA LODGE

Karen Blixen Camp, situated in the Mara North Conservancy, offers an eco-friendly luxury camp experience, giving a sense of the exciting explorer days when the savannah was rarely visited and elaborate camps were set up providing a luxurious retreat after each day’s adventure.

Wedged between Kenya’s Tsavo East and Amboseli National Parks, this is a place of timeless wild beauty. Set on 112,000 hectares of immaculate, private wild Africa bordering the foothills of Chyulu Hills National Park, Ol Donyo Lodge blends contemporary design with the rich culture of the area.

Mara Serena Safari Lodge is a masterful interpretation of a traditional Masai village; the lodge seemingly floats on a sea of savannah at the centre of the Masai Mara. A beautiful pool looks out over the wide plains that stretch endlessly before the lodge.

Governors’ Camp nestles along the banks of the Mara River, its waters teeming with birdlife, hippos and crocodiles. Governors’ Camp is located inside the Masai Mara in the heart of one of the best wildlife viewing areas. The custom built vehicles specifically designed for wildlife viewing offer a wide variety of activities to explore the Masai Mara.

Upon arrival, you will be met by a guide for a game drive en-route to the lodge. Following lunch, there is an afternoon game drive. Ol Donyo Lodge lies in the foothills of the Chyulu Range. The Chyulu Hills are the youngest range of volcanic hills in Africa, the last volcanic activity having only happened about 600 years ago. They are situated halfway between Tsavo and Amboseli National Parks on a concession of 121,000 hectares of communally owned Masai land. Habitats range from grasslands of the savannah to green river woodlands and cool mountain forests. Ol Donyo is located within a community “ranch” owned by 4000 Masai. All of the lodge’s lease and conservancy fees are paid directly to the Masai communal landowners to support the local community’s efforts to actively protect the land. (L)(D)

DAYS 2-3 TSAVO WESTActivities include early morning and late afternoon/early evening game drives in a 4×4 open vehicle, guided bushwalks, night drives, hiking, horse riding, mountain biking, tracking, conservation and community out-reach programmes, wildlife viewing in an open air hide and sleep outs on private “star beds”.

Mara Plains Camp is one of the smallest and most personal camps in the Masai Mara.

The Conservancy is a fabulous wildlife reserve of nearly eight thousand hectares, rich in wildlife including predators and big cats in particular. The camp has been designed and built to be as environmentally friendly as possible. Mara Plains Camp is involved in numerous ongoing projects to preserve the region’s wildlife and ecosystems. One example is National Geographic’s Big Cats Initiative (BCI), a comprehensive program established by the Jouberts to raise awareness about falling populations of lions, cheetahs, and other large felines and to support efforts to reverse their decline.

MOUNT KILIMANJARO

Travel Scale CHALLENGINGDeparts DAILYTravel Style PRIVATE TRIP


DAY 5 ON THE MOUNTAINStart your ascent by torchlight at about 1am, aiming to be up at Gillman’s Point by sunrise. The initial climb is steep over loose volcanic scree. There are some well-graded switch backs and a slow but steady pace will have you up to Gillman’s (5685m) in about five or six hours. You will rest here and spend some time taking in the sunrise. For those who are still feeling strong, you can make the three hour round trip from the crater rim to Uhuru Peak (5896m), passing close to the spectacular glaciers that still occupy most of the summit area. The descent is surprisingly fast and you will return to Horombo for the night. (11-15 hours walking).(B)(L)(D)

DAY 6 ON THE MOUNTAIN – MOSHIRetrace your steps with a pleasant moorland walk to Mandara and then a lovely forest walk to the National Park gates. The greenness and lushness of the forest is quite a stunning contrast to the summit day and it really makes you realise how varied the scenery on Kilimanjaro really is. (5-6 hours walking). Transfer back to your hotel for the night. (B)

DAY 7 MOSHI – KILIMANJAROAfter breakfast transfer to Kilimanjaro Airport for your departure flight. (B)

NOTE An extra acclimatisation day is highly recommended. Itinerary is based on the Marangu Route. Other routes available on request.

DAY 1 KILIMANJARO – MOSHIOn arrival at Kilimanjaro Airport you will be met and transferred to your hotel in Moshi Town close to the foothills of Mount Kilimanjaro. Here you will have a climb briefing and time to prepare.

DAY 2 ON THE MOUNTAINThe National Park Gate (1830m) lies at the edge of Marangu. After completing the entrance formalities, you will climb up through attractive and unspoilt forest to reach the clearing containing Mandara Hut (2700m), a group of comfortable ‘A’ frame wooden huts. (3-5 hours walking). (B)(L)(D)

DAY 3 ON THE MOUNTAINThe first part of the walk is a steep ascent through the forest, but the path soon opens out into grassy moorland and in clear weather, there are good views of Kibo and Mawenzi peaks. You will climb steadily through the moorland zone, to eventually reach the hut complex at Horombo (3720m). (4-6 hours walking). (B)(L)(D)

DAY 4 ON THE MOUNTAINClimb gradually towards the lunar desert of the saddle between Mawenzi and Kibo. The terrain changes to scree and there is a palpable sense of high altitude wilderness. You should reach Kibo Hut (4700m) at the bottom of the crater wall by midday. The remainder of the day is spent resting and eating in preparation for the final climb. (4-5 hours walking). (B)(L)(D)

This guided tour offers a look at small farms in the rural areas that grow cloves, vanilla, nutmeg, cardamom and other spices, medicinal and ornamental plants and tropical fruits. This tour provides a rare experience to show why Zanzibar is referred to as the ‘Spice Island’.

The sunset cruise leaves Stone Town in the late afternoon and cruises along the coast, slicing through the clear turquoise water giving you a tour of Stone Town from the sea. As the sun sets, you sail back towards the glimmering lights of Stone Town in the distance.

This guided tour of Zanzibar provides living evidence of a rich cultural heritage, where Arab, Indian, Persian and European influences are blended with local African tradition. Visit the Town Market, Slave Market, National Museum of Zanzibar, Africa House, Kelele Square and many other historic landmarks.

This guided tour will take you to Jozani Natural Forest, which is a habitat for many species of animals and birds. It is famous for its red colobus monkey which has been isolated from its mainland counterparts for at least 15,000 years and has become the last stronghold in the world for this particular type of colobus.

This tour includes a visit to the Historic Prison Island with its giant tortoises. The island was formerly owned by an Arab and used for confinement of slaves. It was bought by General Mathews and the jail, which still stands, was built in 1893 - hence the name ‘Prison Island’. While on the island you will be able to swim, sunbathe and snorkel.

This full day tour will take you to one of the earlier capitals of the island Kizimkazi, where traces of an Old Shirazi settlement can be seen, before proceeding to a small fishing village where you will be taken in a local boat to search for dolphins. Lunch will be served at Kizimkazi.
