With breathtaking natural wonders, beautiful coastal towns and cities and abundant wildlife, Southern Africa tours have plenty to offer. On this 18-day adventure, we’ll explore South Africa, Botswana and Zimbabwe, discovering iconic Cape Town’s Table Mountain backdrop and stunning Knysna, spending four nights in sumptuous style on board a restored vintage train, and drinking in views of mighty rivers, baobabs and game parks along the way. Journeying north, we’ll spot elephants in Hwange National Park, hippos wallowing in the Chobe River and feel nature’s full force at Victoria Falls.
