With this exclusive land and river safari itinerary, explore the rich landscape of four nations in southern Africa while staying in deluxe hotels, at fabulous game reserves, and on an intimate chartered river boat, the Zambezi Queen.  Journey to Cape Town’s Table Mountain and two UNESCO‑inscribed sites: Robben Island and the Cape Floral Region Protected Area. See Zimbabwe’s awe‑inspiring Victoria Falls, “the smoke that thunders.” Observe remarkable wildlife in its natural habitat, including the Big Five—African savanna elephant, Cape buffalo, leopard, lion, and black rhinoceros—on land and river safaris through the raw wilderness of Botswana and Namibia.
