Itinerary at a glance
Upon arrival in the beautiful city of Cape Town our team will greet you at the airport and transfer you to your hotel on the Atlantic Seaboard. Enjoy evening sundowners on the terrace overlooking the ocean.
See the city from Cape Town’s iconic Table Mountain before you explore its streets and hidden secrets during a historic heritage walk. In the afternoon, enjoy the vistas of the city while sea-kayaking with seals and dolphins.
Today is all about embracing your desires. You've got your personal guide and a vehicle at your beck and call for the entire day; we recommend exploring the Cape Peninsula starting with snorkeling with the seals.
You will be joined by your private sommelier on your journey to the Cape Winelands who will introduce you to famous winemakers and share in-depth knowledge, history and secrets of winemaking.
Indulge and explore Babylonstoren - one of the oldest Cape Dutch farms in the Franschhoek wine valley. Your private guide will be at your disposal to explore more wine farms, visit a local art exhibition or go back in time by exploring Franschhoek’s motor museum.
Your flight to Maun, Botswana, the gateway to the Okavango Delta will leave mid-morning from Cape Town. Upon arrival to Botswana – nature’s greatest theatre, you’ll embark on a scenic flight in a light aircraft deep into the Okavango Delta.
Explore one of the world’s most famous wildlife-watching destinations today with game drives, fishing and water-based activities.
Today will be impactful – visit two out-reach programs and meet our conservation partners to see first-hand how a difference is being made to wildlife coexistence in these areas.
Your first highlight of the day is a helicopter flight from the Okavango Delta into the vastness of the Makgadikgadi Pans – an enormous super-lake that used to cover most of Southern Africa. Enjoy the old-world glamour of Jack’s Camp.
Experiencing the Makgadikgadi Pans is unlike any other on the continent. Enjoy extraordinary activities including quad biking, bushman walks, classic desert game drives, meerkat visits and horse rides.
After a morning desert exploration, retreat back to the sanctuary of camp and relax in the elegant Persian tea tent or indulge in a lazy afternoon in your private plunge pool overlooking the Makgadikgadi pans, watching the world go by.
Your scenic light aircraft flight from Makgadikgadi Pans to Maun is going to be the last highlight of your African Safari adventure. Once you arrive at Maun airport, you will connect to your commercial flight back home.
