Africa Land Experiences

A classic Kruger safari for those short on days but not on ambition. Overnight near Johannesburg, then fly into the heart of the bush to Lion Sands Narina Lodge — nine stilted suites suspended above the Sabie River among century-old trees. Set across the only private reserve spanning both Sabi Sand and Kruger National Park, this is prime leopard country, with elephants wading the river frontage and lions prowling its banks. Morning and afternoon game drives in open vehicles reveal the wild in intimate detail, before you fly on to Cape Town to join your ship.

Go deeper into the wild on this unhurried Kruger safari. After a night near Johannesburg, fly north to &Beyond Ngala — a private concession set inside Kruger National Park with exclusive traversing rights across 36,000 acres of unfenced wilderness. Here, with no other vehicles in sight, the Big Five roam free and every sighting feels raw and personal. Elegant cottages shaded by mopane and tamboti trees offer quiet luxury between twice-daily game drives, guided bush walks and evenings around the fire. Three full nights immersed in the bush, before your flight to Cape Town and embarkation.

A grand safari across two countries and some of Africa's most legendary wilderness. From Johannesburg, fly to the Okavango Delta and Chief's Camp — set on Chief's Island in the game-rich Moremi Reserve, famed as the 'predator capital' of Africa. Continue to the banks of the Chobe River, home to the world's largest elephant population, where game drives meet gliding water safaris at Chobe Chilwero. Then cross into Zimbabwe for the thundering majesty of Victoria Falls and a night at its grand colonial hotel. Six nights of extraordinary landscapes and wildlife, ending with your flight to Cape Town.

Trade the bush for the vineyards on this indulgent escape into South Africa's celebrated Cape Winelands. Settle into the elegant village of Franschhoek, home to award-winning restaurants and your boutique base at Le Quartier Français. Spend your days tasting your way through Paarl and Stellenbosch — chocolate-and-wine pairings, artisan cheeses and a long lunch at a storied estate — then ride the famous Franschhoek Wine Tram through the valley's vineyards. Before embarkation, ascend Table Mountain by revolving cable car for sweeping views over Cape Town. Three refined nights of fine wine, fine dining and unforgettable scenery.
