11. EXPLORE THE FALLS & AN ELEPHANT SANCTUARY First up this morning is a privately guided walk around Victoria Falls, stopping to view its thundering waters from various vantage points including the Devil’s Cataract, Rain Forest, Main Falls and Danger Point. You’ll gain some amazing insights about African elephants from a naturalist during a hands-on visit to an elephant sanctuary where you’ll interact with the elephants and watch them as they feed, play, and socialize. Majestic, wise and very intelligent, they have earned their nickname “gentle giants” as they are thought to be the largest living mammal on Earth today. Join us this evening for our farewell cocktail reception and dinner, a fitting end to a fantastic trip! Meals BLD
Game drives in South Africa provide lots of opportunities to spot Africa’s “Big Five” – and a visit to an elephant sanctuary is memorable.
and giraffes. They are well-versed in the geography of the area, the wildlife and the efforts being made to conserve these living treasures and eagerly share their knowledge with you. You’ll have opportunities to enjoy life at your lodge as well, which is reminiscent of safaris in days gone by – perhaps afternoon tea and biscuits, or possibly a swim between game drives. And tonight, a traditional braai – which is a barbecue; it’s a social custom in South Africa that has been around for ages. Meals BLD
8. JOHANNESBURG & ITS GEMS
Say goodbye to the wildlife-rich Sabie River region this morning as you depart the heart of the African wilderness and fly to Johannesburg, South Africa’s largest city and commercial hub – and the world’s largest city not situated on a river, lake or coastline – for a two-night stay. Among the most modern and prosperous cities in South Africa today, “Jo’burg” has derived much of its wealth from the major gold- and diamond-mining industry based here; learn about the history of Africa’s precious stones from an expert gemologist this evening, and then dine à la carte.

9. SIGHTSEE HISTORIC SOWETO Cultural discoveries enrich your educational sightseeing tour of Soweto township. See the homes of Winnie Mandela and Archbishop Desmond Tutu and visit the Constitutional Court and the Hector Pieterson Museum. Attend a dance performance at the Youth Center and tour the library, built by guest donations. The evening is free for you to enjoy dinner on your own. Meals BL
10. MAGNIFICENT VICTORIA FALLS Fly to Victoria Falls in Zimbabwe for two nights at The Victoria Falls Hotel, an Edwardian landmark overlooking the falls; stroll along the private pathway for stunning views. A local historian offers insights on the life of explorer and missionary David Livingstone aboard a private sundowner cruise on the Zambezi River. Dine in your choice of hotel restaurants tonight.
