Top Ten Things To do in souThern AfricA
Hear the roar of Victoria Falls
Nothing quite prepares you for the awesome power of the falls. At their peak, it is estimated that five million cubic metres of water pass over the cataracts every minute! At 1.7 kilometres wide and 100 metres high, the Victoria Falls form the worlds largest sheet of falling water.
Go wild in the Okavango
No visit to southern Africa is complete without exploring the irresistible wilderness of the worlds largest inland delta Okavango. To experience the full majesty of the area, travel in a traditional mokoro (dug-out canoe), listening to the polers talking in their beautiful Setswana language, and camp wild on a delta island under the stunning southern stars.
Cruise Africas southern coastline
The Wild Coast and Garden Route regions of South Africa stretch from Durban in the east to the Cape Peninsula in the west and offer superb lagoon and coastal vistas. Visit the birthplace of Nelson Mandela at Umtata, hike the beginning of the Otter Trail in Tsitsikamma, sample the countrys freshest oysters in Knysna, explore the underground caves of Cango, discover weird and wonderful facts about ostriches at Outsdhoorn and absorb the beauty of Table Mountain from the city of Cape Town. The coastline of South Africa is nothing less than spectacular.

Rough and tumble with a lion cub in Zimbabwe
In the Zimbabwe midlands there is a place where your wildlife dreams can come true. The Antelope Park at Gweru offers you a truly unique experience and we really do mean unique: walk with lions, swim with elephants, play with lion cubs.
Stand atop the worlds highest sand dunes
Sossusvlei, in the heart of the Namib-Naukluft National Park in Namibia, is part of the oldest desert on the face of the planet. The scenery in this harsh and primeval area is spectacular in the extreme. Explore the highest sand dunes in the world, some of which rise over 300 metres above the surrounding terrain.
Dangle your feet into Fish River Canyon
In a country of scenic superlatives, Fish River Canyon in Namibia is perhaps the jewel in the crown. Nearly 30 kilometres across and 160 kilometres in length, it is reputedly the second largest canyon in the world. In the late afternoon, perch yourself on the edge, dangle your feet into the canyon and watch the canyon walls changing colour with the golden rays of the setting sun.
Search for Africas Big Five
The idea of the Big Five animals originates from hunting days they were the five most dangerous animals to hunt and kill. Now, seeing the Big Five rhino, lion, leopard, elephant and buffalo is the goal for many visitors to Africa. Go in search of the Big Five at Kruger, Hluhluwe-Imfolozi, Mlilwane, Matobo, Hwange, Chobe, Addo and Etosha!
Watch the wildlife spectacle of Etosha
Etosha is the third largest wildlife sanctuary in the world and one of the most impressive National Parks of Africa. In the dry season the permanent waterholes attract a vast diversity of wildlife. Sit by a waterhole and watch the interplay between up to eight different species of wildlife!
Lose yourself in the natural beauty of the Barrier of Spears.
To the local people, the Drakensberg Mountains are simply known as uKhahlamba (Barrier of Spears). To the rest of the world, the Drakensberg Mountains are a 200-kilometre long mountainous wonderland that is recognized as a World Heritage Site. We take a hike through these spectacular mountains, following in the footsteps of the ancient Bushmen to view examples of their remarkable rock art.
Get spiritual at Spitzkoppe
The 1784-metre-high granite isleberg of Spitzkoppe has long been of spiritual importance to the Bushmen. An evening spent sleeping here under a blanket of a million stars will surely etch itself into your soul.
