7. THE SAFARI LIFE, DAWN TO DUSK Morning and afternoon game drives aboard four-wheel-drive, open-top Land Rovers today provide the possibility of up-close sightings of African game. Expert trackers and experienced rangers help you to spot the animals who migrate through the reserve, including gazelles, antelopes, kudu, impalas and giraffes. Your companions are well-versed in the geography of the area, the wildlife, and the efforts being made to conserve these living treasures, and are eager to 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 with afternoon tea and biscuits, or a swim between game drives. And tonight, experience a traditional braai, a South African barbecue tradition that has been around for ages. Meals BLD


LANDMARK HOTELS Set against Table Mountain, Cape Grace sits on a private quay on Cape Town’s Victoria & Alfred Waterfront. Consistently recognized as one of the world’s finest hotels, its sumptuous interiors and welcoming service make it a favorite among travelers. A member of the Leading Hotels of the World, The Victoria Falls Hotel – an Edwardian-era treasure in Zimbabwe – boasts a centuries-old historic legacy of grace and style in its incomparable setting overlooking spectacular Victoria Falls.


8. JOHANNESBURG AND ITS GEMS Say goodbye to the wildlife-rich Sabie River region this morning when you return to Skukuza airstrip and fly to Johannesburg, South Africa’s largest city and commercial hub, for a two-night stay; it is the world’s biggest city not situated on a river, lake or coastline. Among the most modern and prosperous cities in South Africa, “Jo’burg” has derived much of its wealth from the major gold- and diamond-mining industries based here. Learn about the history of Africa’s diamonds and other valuable stones at a presentation by a gemologist early this evening. Dinner is served at your hotel tonight. Meals BD
