Discover Namibia’s capital on a guided Windhoek city tour featuring the Christuskirche, Independence Memorial Museum and Parliament Building. See how distinctive architecture and civic landmarks sit within the city’s hilly setting.

The tour introduces different chapters of Windhoek’s history, from the colonial-era church to monuments reflecting independent Namibia. The Parliament Gardens provide a quieter contrast to the streets of the capital and help orient visitors to the city.

Search for wildlife on an included Etosha National Park game drive, scanning the dry landscape for antelope, elephants and other animals adapted to Namibia’s conditions. The park’s open terrain can offer long views across the bush.

Etosha takes its name from the immense salt pan at its centre. Waterholes are important meeting places for wildlife, particularly in dry periods, giving the safari a different character from the river-rich landscapes elsewhere on the tour.

Join a Swakopmund township tour to learn about local neighbourhood life beyond the town’s seafront. The hosted visit includes a traditional dinner, offering a chance to connect the places seen with local food and hospitality.

Swakopmund’s colonial-era centre tells only part of the town’s story. This experience adds a contemporary community perspective to a visit to Namibia’s coast, with the dinner providing a sociable setting for further conversation.

Join a locally guided township tour in Cape Town, paired with an Amy Foundation lunch. Hear perspectives on community life and the lasting effects of apartheid from people with local knowledge.

The experience offers context that landmark sightseeing alone cannot provide, while the lunch creates space for a more personal connection. This is an optional excursion at additional cost, bookable on tour; details of the visit depend on local arrangements.

Take an optional sunset wildlife cruise on the Chobe River, watching for hippos in the water, crocodiles on the banks and animals arriving to drink. The boat offers a low, water-level view distinct from a game drive.

Chobe’s river frontage is an important wildlife gathering place, particularly as daylight fades. Sightings vary with conditions and animal movement. This cruise is at additional cost and bookable on tour; it is separate from included Chobe wildlife viewing.

Meet your Trip Manager and fellow travellers for a welcome walkabout near Cape Town’s V&A Waterfront. The hosted gathering offers a chance to get acquainted over dinner and hear what to expect from the safari adventure.

Set beside a working harbour, the waterfront pairs views towards Table Mountain with historic docks and a lively dining scene. It is a sociable introduction to the city rather than a formal sightseeing tour.

Ride the Table Mountain cable car to the summit of Cape Town’s defining landmark. From its broad, flat top, take in panoramic views of the city, Atlantic coast and surrounding mountains, with walking paths offering different perspectives.

Part of a national park, Table Mountain is home to distinctive fynbos vegetation found in South Africa’s Cape Floral Region. Clear skies reveal the sweep of the peninsula; cloud can give the summit its familiar ‘tablecloth’ effect.

Explore Cape Town on a city sightseeing tour taking in the colourful streets of Bo-Kaap, the city centre and the V&A Waterfront. See how the city’s neighbourhoods and public spaces reflect its layered history.

Bo-Kaap’s brightly painted houses are closely associated with Cape Malay heritage, while the waterfront retains the atmosphere of a working harbour. The tour brings historic sights and contemporary Cape Town together in one accessible introduction.

Search for wildlife on included game drives through Kruger National Park, including a sunset drive and a final drive through the park. Keep binoculars ready for elephants, antelope and the possibility of lions, leopards, rhinos or buffalo.

Kruger protects a vast range of savannah habitats, so sightings change with the light, weather and movement of animals. Its river corridors are particularly rewarding places to watch for wildlife coming to drink.

Meet a ranger to learn how the K9 Watchdog Project helps protect wildlife in Kruger National Park. Hear about the dogs’ role in anti-poaching work and the people involved in safeguarding the reserve.

This conservation-focused encounter looks beyond safari sightings to the challenges facing protected species. It also explains how support for the project contributes to wildlife protection, giving greater context to the animals seen in the park.

Spend the night at an exclusive safari camp inside Kruger National Park, near the banks of the Sabie River. Settle into a canvas tent with a mattress and linen, and gather around the communal fire as darkness falls.

Lower Sabie’s riverside setting makes wildlife watching part of the stay: animals may come down to drink, while calls carry through the bush at night. It is an immersive camping experience without needing to bring your own tent.

Walk beside Victoria Falls to see the Zambezi River plunge into a deep gorge. Viewpoints reveal sections of the waterfall from different angles, and rising spray can leave visitors soaked when water levels are high.

Known locally as Mosi-oa-Tunya, ‘the smoke that thunders’, the falls are celebrated for the immense width of their curtain of water. The sound, shifting mist and changing seasonal flow make this a powerful encounter with the landscape.

Look for animals on included Chobe game drives and along the banks of the Chobe River. Morning light offers a fresh chance to spot wildlife, including elephants, antelope and the predators that share their habitat.

Chobe National Park is particularly known for its large elephant population. The river draws animals to its shores, creating a distinctive contrast between Botswana’s dry bush and water-rich feeding grounds. Wildlife sightings depend on conditions and animal movement.

Experience a night at a private Chobe bush camp, with pre-set dome tents, guides, camp cooks and a fire beneath the stars. Listen for the sounds of nocturnal wildlife from a setting surrounded by nature.

This Special Stay brings the atmosphere of the African bush close to camp. Bush camping is seasonal: when the overnight camp is not available, the tour uses lodge accommodation instead, with included Chobe game drives retained.

Pause for sundowner drinks near the Makgadikgadi Salt Pans as the evening light changes across Botswana’s open landscape. The gathering offers time to take in the quiet, expansive setting rather than simply pass through it.

The Makgadikgadi landscape was shaped by an ancient lake, leaving salt flats and dry-country scenery on a remarkable scale. A sundowner is a southern African tradition: a drink shared outdoors as the heat eases and the sun drops.

Explore the Okavango Delta on included game drives, with opportunities to watch wildlife in morning and afternoon light. Scan the bush for elephants and antelope, and keep an eye out for hippos near the waterways or predators moving through the grass.

Unlike a delta that reaches the sea, the Okavango spreads into the sands of the Kalahari. Its channels, floodplains and woodland create varied habitats, making every drive a different exercise in observation.

Enjoy an included sunset outing along the Khwai River waterways, watching the banks for animals as daylight softens. The river is a gathering place for wildlife, so the experience rewards patient observation as much as a quick sighting.

The Khwai area lies on the edge of the Okavango system, where water channels meet woodland and grassland. Reflections, bird calls and movement at the water’s edge give this outing a different feel from a game drive.

Head into the bush on a night game drive, using spotlights to look for animals that can be difficult to see by day. Listen and watch for signs of movement beyond the reach of the vehicle’s lights.

The Okavango’s wildlife activity changes after dark as nocturnal species emerge and predators become more active. This drive offers a distinct perspective on the delta, with sightings determined by what the wilderness reveals that evening.

Stay at an exclusive safari camp near the Khwai River, sleeping in a pre-erected dome tent with a stretcher, mattress and linen. Share campfire meals while the sounds of the surrounding bush replace the usual city soundtrack.

Camp staff prepare the tents and cook meals over open fires. With wildlife drawn to the nearby water, the setting makes the landscape feel present even between organised game drives; sightings around camp are never guaranteed.

Take an included sunset walk in the Etosha area as the day’s heat begins to ease. On foot, notice the changing light, dry-country vegetation and sounds that are easy to miss from a vehicle.

The walk is a quieter way to experience Namibia’s open landscape alongside the tour’s larger game drives. It focuses on the atmosphere of dusk rather than promising close wildlife encounters; the precise route depends on local arrangements and conditions.

Visit San hosts at Omandumba in Namibia’s Erongo region to learn about their language and knowledge of life in dry environments. Hear directly from local people about skills and traditions connected to the surrounding landscape.

This community-led cultural encounter offers a more personal perspective than a roadside viewpoint. There is also an opportunity to see handmade arts and crafts, with attention centred on what hosts choose to share about their lives and heritage.

Stop at Spitzkoppe to admire granite peaks rising abruptly from Namibia’s desert plains. Take time for photographs, including the area’s well-known Rock Arch, against a backdrop of weathered stone and wide skies.

Sometimes nicknamed the ‘Matterhorn of Namibia’, Spitzkoppe is distinctive for its isolated, sculptural shape rather than alpine snow. Its exposed rock surfaces and sparse vegetation reveal the scale and stark textures of the Erongo landscape.

Paddle by kayak at Pelican Point near Walvis Bay, watching for seals around the water and the possibility of dolphins or whales farther out. The low viewpoint of a kayak offers a close sense of the sheltered coastal environment.

Pelican Point’s sand spit separates the lagoon from the Atlantic Ocean, making it a distinctive setting for marine wildlife observation. Animal sightings vary, but the combination of sea air, quiet paddling and Namibia’s desert coast makes the outing memorable.

Head into the desert on an included sunset drive near Sossusvlei. Watch the light shift over sand, gravel and distant dunes as the Namib landscape takes on deeper colours towards evening.

The Namib is a vast desert where plants and animals have adapted to scarce rainfall. A drive at this hour highlights its textures and scale, offering a scenic introduction to the dune country without promising a specific wildlife sighting.

Explore the dunes of Namib-Naukluft National Park, walking along Big Daddy dune towards Deadvlei. Take in sweeping views across the sand and look for oryx and other desert-dwelling wildlife during the visit.

Deadvlei’s pale clay floor, dark dead camel-thorn trees and surrounding orange dunes form one of Namibia’s most recognisable landscapes. The contrast is the result of an old floodplain cut off from water as dunes shifted over time.

Gather with the group for a farewell dinner at Joe’s Beerhouse in Windhoek. The hosted evening gives travellers a place to share safari stories and mark the end of the journey together.

Joe’s is a long-established Windhoek gathering spot, known for its lively, character-filled setting. This is included as an organised group experience; the itinerary does not specify that the dinner itself is among the tour’s included meals.

Cook alongside fellow travellers in a MasterChef-style group class in Cape Town. Prepare food in a sociable setting with drinks and music, making the meal part of the activity rather than simply a restaurant stop.

The hands-on format is a chance to spend an evening together away from the sightseeing trail. This is an optional experience at additional cost, bookable on tour; the particular dishes and venue are not specified in the itinerary.

Explore the Cape Peninsula on a scenic outing along Chapman’s Peak Drive towards Cape Point, with a visit to Boulders Beach to watch its African penguin colony. Steep coastal cliffs and sheltered bays provide contrasting views throughout the excursion.

Cape Point lies within Table Mountain National Park, while the penguins at Boulders are a striking example of coastal wildlife living close to the city. This is an optional excursion at additional cost, bookable on tour.

Take to the water on an optional kayaking outing near Boulders Beach, where African penguins may be seen along the shore or in the sea. Paddling gives a different perspective on the granite-framed bays of the Cape Peninsula.

The penguins are wild animals, so encounters depend on their movements and conditions on the day. This activity is at additional cost and bookable on tour, alongside the Cape Peninsula’s other optional experiences.

Sample wines in the Cape while taking in the views that make the region such a rewarding place to pause. A tasting introduces local flavours as part of an optional day exploring the peninsula.

Wine growing has a long history around Cape Town, shaped by its Mediterranean-style climate and varied landscapes. The itinerary does not name a particular estate or tasting selection. This experience is at additional cost and bookable on tour.

Set out on an early-morning Kruger game drive when the air is cool and wildlife may still be active after the night. Watch the bush brighten while looking for predators, antelope and other animals.

Sunrise gives the park a different atmosphere from its daytime drives, but sightings remain unpredictable. The itinerary offers sunrise safaris on more than one morning. Each chosen drive is an optional activity at additional cost, bookable on tour.

Return to the safari vehicles for an optional sunset game drive in Kruger National Park. Scan the bush as temperatures fall and the light changes, with another chance to look for members of the Big Five and other wildlife.

Evening drives reveal a different rhythm from morning outings, although no particular sighting can be promised. This additional drive is at extra cost and bookable on tour, separate from the included Kruger game drives.

Gather at the Kruger safari camp for a traditional South African braai, a shared barbecue with local sides and desserts. The meal is presented as a group experience rather than a routine stop for dinner.

Cooking and eating around a fire is a familiar part of South African social life, well suited to an evening in the bush. This hosted braai is optional, at additional cost and bookable on tour.

Choose an adrenaline activity at the Victoria Falls Bridge, with options to jump, zipline or swing above the Zambezi gorge. The bridge connects Zimbabwe and Zambia, framing dramatic views of the river below.

Each activity offers a different way to experience the height and scale of the gorge. Participation depends on the operator’s safety requirements and conditions. These are optional activities at additional cost, bookable on tour.

Take on the Zambezi River’s white-water rapids near Victoria Falls on a guided rafting excursion. From the water, experience the river as an active landscape rather than a distant view from the falls.

The Zambezi’s flow changes through the year, affecting rafting conditions and the sections available. This is a physically demanding adventure subject to local safety rules. It is optional, at additional cost and bookable on tour.

Join a locally guided village tour in the Victoria Falls area to meet residents and learn about everyday life from a local perspective. The visit offers a community-focused alternative to the region’s waterfall and adventure activities.

What visitors see and discuss is shaped by the local hosts rather than a fixed list of landmarks. This is an optional excursion at additional cost, bookable on tour; the itinerary does not identify a specific village.

Cruise the Zambezi River at sunset near Victoria Falls, with drinks included in the excursion. Watch the changing light over the water and keep an eye on the riverbanks for wildlife.

This is a gentler way to experience the Zambezi than rafting or a bridge activity, with the river’s atmosphere taking centre stage. The cruise is optional, at additional cost and bookable on tour.

Track signs of wildlife on a guided walking safari in Zambezi National Park. Travelling on foot brings attention to smaller animals, plants and details that are easily overlooked from a vehicle.

The guide interprets whatever the bush reveals, making the walk as much about understanding the ecosystem as spotting large mammals. Routes and sightings depend on local conditions. This safari is optional, at additional cost and bookable on tour.

See Victoria Falls from a helicopter for an aerial view of its broad curtain of water and the Zambezi gorge. From above, the scale of the falls and the river’s course become easier to appreciate.

Spray, water levels and visibility change with the season, giving each flight a different outlook. This helicopter experience is optional, at additional cost and bookable on tour, subject to flight conditions and operator requirements.

Ride across the Makgadikgadi Salt Pans in an open safari vehicle, searching for a meerkat colony and stopping for photographs across the flat, open landscape. The immense horizon creates unusual perspectives and a strong sense of space.

These salt pans are remnants of an ancient lake and among the defining landscapes of Botswana. Meerkats are wild, so sightings cannot be guaranteed. The excursion is optional, at additional cost and bookable on tour.

Glide through the Okavango Delta’s waterways by mokoro, a traditional-style narrow boat suited to the region’s shallow channels. From close to the water, watch reeds, birds and the shifting reflections of the wetland.

The quiet pace offers a contrast to travelling by safari vehicle and reveals the delta from within its channels. Wildlife sightings depend on conditions. This mokoro outing is optional, at additional cost and bookable on tour.

Fly above the Okavango Delta by helicopter from the Maun area, looking down on waterways, floodplains and islands. Keep binoculars ready for possible wildlife sightings from the air.

An aerial view reveals how the delta’s channels spread into the Kalahari, a pattern difficult to grasp from the ground. Flight routes and visibility depend on local conditions. This is an optional experience at additional cost, bookable on tour.

Visit the Okavango Delta Brewery in Maun for the opportunity to tour the brewery and taste its beers, with dinner also offered. It is a sociable way to spend an evening in Botswana’s gateway town to the delta.

The brewery visit shifts the focus from wildlife to a local food-and-drink experience. The itinerary does not specify a tasting selection or meal inclusions. This is an optional outing at additional cost, bookable on tour.

Choose a game drive at Okapuka Safari Lodge outside Windhoek for an additional chance to look for Namibia’s savannah wildlife. The lodge’s bush setting provides a wildlife-focused stop on the journey towards Etosha.

This drive is distinct from the included safari in Etosha National Park, offering another opportunity to practise spotting animals in open country. Sightings are not guaranteed. The activity is optional, at additional cost and bookable on tour.

Extend the Walvis Bay kayaking outing with a combo tour to Sandwich Harbour, exploring coastal sand dunes as part of a full-day adventure. The excursion pairs marine wildlife watching with Namibia’s meeting of desert and Atlantic coast.

Sandwich Harbour is known for its striking dunes and coastal setting south of Walvis Bay. Conditions influence access and the route taken. This extension is optional, at additional cost and bookable on tour, rather than part of the included kayaking trip.
