Beautifully appointed tents exude an atmosphere of pioneering adventure in a vast and hidden landscape. Dwyka Lodge is surrounded by awe-inspiring rock formations which was once the home of ancient Khoisan hunters. Situated on a horseshoe bend of a dry Karoo ravine, the lodge with 9 luxury tents has a Relaxation Retreat, communal lounge with fireplace and TV, wine cellar and open air boma.

Observe iconic African wildlife in Aquila Game Reserve, enjoy breathtaking views of Cape Town from atop Table Mountain and spend another day exploring the city on your own – all immensely fulfilling experiences.

TAG 1

Disembark in Cape Town and meet your tour guide for a tour and transfer to your hotel. En-route, visit Table Mountain, the city’s most celebrated landmark!

Travel up Kloof Nek, the saddle between Table Mountain and Lions Head, to the lower cableway station. Ascend from the Valley Station (363 m) to the Mountain Station (1 060 m) in a Swiss engineered Rotair cable car. The journey from the base to the summit takes just under 4 minutes and one can enjoy spectacular views, as the floor of the car rotates 360 degrees during the ascent and descent.

Table Mountain gets her name from the flat-topped central massif of the mountain, which, viewed from the city, is surrounded by Devil’s Peak on the left, Lion’s Head on the right and Signal Hill in the foreground. They form a sort of amphitheater that encloses the city center and some of the older suburbs. Other earlier suburbs are on either side of the chain of mountains, which run like a spine through the Cape Peninsula, from Table Mountain to Cape Point – the cape from which Cape Town gets its name.

From the summit, the natural protected area stretching from Signal Hill to Cape Point has been managed under the custodianship of the National Parks Board. This area has one of the highest concentrations of endemic plant and animal species in any area of its size, containing a staggering 2 285 plant species – more than the entire U.K.

Upon descent, re-board your vehicle and transfer to your hotel. Check-in on arrival (official check-in time is 14:00 Uhr). Although every effort will be made to have rooms available before this time this cannot be guaranteed.

Der Rest des Nachmittags steht Ihnen zur freien Verfügung. Consider a stroll to the Victoria & Alfred Waterfront where shops, restaurants and entertainment are plenty. Mittag- und Dinner in eigener Regie.

Hinweis: the cable car ride to the top of Table Mountain is weather dependent. If not possible due to high winds a stop will be made at a viewing area near the cable car base for photos.

TAG 2

Following an early breakfast at your hotel, depart on a 2.5-hour road transfer to Aquila Game Reserve or similar. Enjoy a welcome drink on arrival, followed by a 4 x 4 game drive, with an experienced nature guide. Thereafter, sit down to a delicious buffet lunch including two local beverages. After some free time to browse through the well-stocked curio shop, depart for a return transfer to Cape Town.

The remainder of the day will be at your leisure and dinner is on your own.

TAG 3

Spend today at leisure, exploring the beautiful ‘Mother City’ at your own pace. Consider a ferry trip to Robben Island (individually made pre-bookings are essential via the Robben Island Ferry website), an open Red Top bus trip to numerous destinations, a hike up Lion’s Head, Wine tasting in the Winelands, or simply visiting numerous attractive beaches such as Camps Bay, Blouberg Beach or similar.

Make sure you are hungry for dinner as this evening you will join the group again for an African themed Farewell Dinner at GOLD Restaurant which includes an immersive 14-dish “taste-safari” and optional inter-active drumming. The tasting menu is designed to be enjoyed in a shared style and throughout the meal you will be learn about the country of origin, cooking techniques and spicing of each dish. (All meat, poultry and fish dishes come with vegan or vegetarian options). No doubt you will be swept up in the excitement as African stories are told through live entertainment while you dine including singing, puppetry and dancing to the beat of the djembe drums.

Following this lively dinner experience, you will be returned to your hotel.

TAG 4

Enjoy a leisurely breakfast at your hotel. The official check-out time from the hotel is at 11:00 Uhr.

This nonstop adventure presents the unrivalled experience of touring thundering Victoria Falls and venturing into Botswana’s first national park for a game drive to view African’s most iconic wildlife.

PLEASE NOTE – This POST-Cruise Program ends in Johannesburg and therefore guests need to fly out of Johannesburg, South Africa. The following program details are for reference purposes only and subject to change based on flights that can be confirmed at or around 60 days prior to sailing.

Hinweis: Any guests travelling with Portable Oxygen Concentrators (POC) or CPAP breathing machines should read further below for airline stipulations with regards to bringing this equipment on tour.

TAG 1

Disembark in Cape Town, meet your guide and transfer to your city-based hotel. En-route you will have an orientation tour. Check in is at 14:00 Uhr and although every effort will be made to have rooms available before this time, this cannot be guaranteed. Luggage storage will be available should you wish to head into the city to explore on your own.

Your hotel is located in the bustling Victoria and Alfred Waterfront where you will find a wide array of shopping and dining options. Lunch and dinner are on your own today.

TAG 2

After breakfast and check out, transfer to the Cape Town airport for a flight to Victoria Falls, Zimbabwe.

As guests may only bring one piece of checked luggage per person, excess luggage (1 piece per person) will be shipped via courier to Johannesburg where you will be re-united with it on Day 5. Make sure to pack accordingly and bring any medications and cruise documents with you.

Upon arriving in Victoria Falls, proceed through Customs and Immigration. You will then be met and transferred to the Victoria Falls Hotel. Hinweis: Visas are required for Zimbabwe and can be purchased at the airport upon arrival.

After check-in, transfer to the Zambezi River and embark on a sunset cruise (shared departure). Depending on the size of the group the boat may either be a covered single level sightseeing boat or a larger boat with multiple levels. Enjoy a beverage from this vantage point whilst watching the sunset and possibly sighting hippos, crocodiles, various birdlife and maybe even an elephant or two along the banks of the river.

Your boat cruise is followed up with dinner back at the hotel.

TAG 3

After breakfast and check out, transfer to the Victoria Falls Rainforest where you will have a guided walk.

Located on the border between Zambia and Zimbabwe, Victoria Falls is the world’s largest curtain of falling water, based on the falls’ one-mile width and height of 360 feet. It’s an amazing spectacle to watch as the Zambezi River roars over the edge of a basalt gorge, forming what locals call Mosi-Oa-Tunya or “the smoke that thunders”. In November 1885, after seeing the falls for the first time, Scottish explorer and Doctor David Livingstone re-named them after Queen Victoria.

A path along the edge of the rainforest provides visitors with an unparalleled series of views of the falls but be prepared to get wet from the tremendous spray!

HINWEIS: the cobblestone walkways within the rainforest can be slippery if wet and some spots are at a gradient. Proper walking shoes that have a good grip should be worn, and guests should wear appropriate clothing to get wet. Due to the amount of walking and terrain, this program is not suited for guests who have walking difficulty or who utilize a wheelchair or scooter. Walking distance will be 2-4km (1,24 – 2.48 miles).

Continue by road across the Zimbabwe – Botswana border to Chobe Game Lodge - an elegant, five-star, fully Ecotourism-certified safari lodge and the only property located inside the world-renowned Chobe National Park and set on the banks of the famous Chobe River.

Enjoy limitless views from the boardwalk overlooking a wildlife-rich floodplain to the eats and the Chobe River to the west. Dine in one of several areas around the lodge and enjoy your spacious room with its own terrace facing the Chobe River. Inside the rooms are all the amenities and comforts you expect from a luxury safari lodge. The en-suite bathrooms include a large bath and separate shower, while air-conditioners and overhead fans ensure you have a comfortable stay.

Check in, enjoy lunch at the lodge and then some free time to get acquainted with your surroundings.

A bit later in the day, gather in the main lodge for tea and snacks followed by a game drive in Chobe National Park. Safaris are conducted in 4x4 open side vehicles and led by qualified professional guides who will bring you close to hippos, buffalos, puku and other animals that gather on the banks of the Chobe River. Naturally, elephants, lion and leopard are also found in the area.

Return to your lodge thereafter for dinner and overnight.

TAG 4

After an early-morning wake-up call and coffee and tea in the lobby, you will embark on a morning game drive in 4x4 open-air safari vehicles.

Along with elephant, lion, leopard and buffalo, Chobe is also home to two antelope that aren’t encountered anywhere else in Botswana, the puku and the Chobe bushbuck. Declared a national park in 1967, Chobe was the first one established in Botswana and now covers more than 4,500 square miles of dry savannah, floodplains, and teak woodlands that are ideal animal habitats.

Returning from your morning safari, a full breakfast will be served after which you will have free time to do as you wish at the lodge.

Following lunch, you will embark on a cruise down the Chobe River – this is the ideal time to keep a look out for animals coming to the river for water.

Later dinner will be served at the lodge.

TAG 5

After enjoying one last optional game drive and breakfast, check-out from the lodge and transfer to the Kasane Airport for a flight to Johannesburg.

Upon arrival at Johannesburg’s OR Tambo International Airport, you will be met and assisted through passport control and baggage claim. You will then be escorted your hotel where you will spend the remainder of the day at leisure. Your hotel is located within walking distance of the terminal.

You will be reunited with any luggage that was shipped from Cape Town.

TAG 6

Genießen Sie ein Frühstück in Ihrem Hotel. Check out time is 11:00 Uhr. You will be assisted on the walk to the Johannesburg Airport terminal based on your flight schedule. Should you have a late flight, luggage storage will be available at the hotel or alternatively you may wish to purchase an extra night to guarantee a room for the day.

PLEASE NOTE

*This is a malaria risk area. Make sure that the necessary medication has been taken. Guests should seek their physicians’ advice regarding malaria precautions and other recommended immunizations. You must begin taking malaria precautions prior to your departure date.

*The contents and order of the activities in this program are subject to change by the lodge management without prior notice, due to the prevailing weather conditions and movement of dangerous wildlife in the Chobe National Park.

*The roads in the game reserve are gravel. There are also inclines, and certain parts of the game drive can be bumpy. This program is not recommended for guests with back problems.

*Bring warm clothing, as the evenings and early mornings are chilly.

*This program is not fully guided. Local representatives will assist you with your transfers and you will have a guide at Victoria Falls, however, the game drive and Chobe River cruise at the lodge and is run solely and at the discretion by the lodge/hotel staff.

*The water levels at Victoria Falls are season dependent. ‘Low Water’ runs between August and January and is at its lowest between November and early December. This is the time when there is very little spray and visitors are able to fully appreciate the geological formation of Victoria Falls and the full length and breadth of them.

Voraussichtliches Wetter:

South Africa’s seasons are the reverse of those in the northern hemisphere. Midwinter is in June and midsummer at hottest temperatures in December and January. The climate varies from region to region but is generally mild throughout the year. The average daily temperature is 30°C and nighttime temperatures can drop to approximately 14°C.

The arrival of the rains trigger a dispersal of game from the Chobe River area but the warm, rainy December to March summer months are the best time to visit Chobe for bird watching, the impala birthing season (great for predators!) and to see the Savute zebra migration.

In Zimbabwe and Botswana, during summer (October – April), days are hot and generally sunny in the morning with possible afternoon thunderstorms. Daytime temperatures can rise to 30ºC (86 ºF) and night temperatures drop to around 14ºC (57,2 ºF) - 16ºC (60,8 ºF). The temperatures given are those for the main centers but it is considerably warmer all year round in the low-lying areas such as Kariba, Victoria Falls, and the Zambezi Valley. The rainy season runs from November to March, although the Eastern Highlands are damp for most of the year.

Was Sie mitbringen sollten:

Light cotton tops and cotton trousers and shorts in summer. Safari trousers and warm fleece tops for evenings and cooler days. Swimwear, a hat, sunglasses, sunscreen, comfortable walking shoes, camera, film and chargers, personal toiletries and anti-malaria prophylaxis.

Währung:

The monetary unit of South Africa is the Rand. All major credit cards are accepted at most establishments, although Visa and Mastercard are the most widely accepted cards.

In Zimbabwe, the unit of currency is the US Dollar

Credit card payments in Zimbabwe are subject to change on a daily basis. Currently, as only Visa cards are widely accepted here so we recommend that you travel with a small amount of US Dollars or SA Rand in cash, in small denominations, to pay for incidental expenses.

Stromspannung:

South Africa’s electrical system is 220/230 volts A/C 50 cycles. Most hotels have hair dryers and plug adaptors in the bedrooms however we recommend bringing your own travel adaptor if you are bringing electric devices. Be aware that overnight charging may not be possible where generator use restricts the availability of electricity.

Outlets in Zimbabwe require a three-pronged adapter plug with 3 round prongs

Stellenbosch is a university town famous for its carefully preserved architectural heritage, which includes examples of Cape Dutch, Georgian and Victorian styles, especially on Dorp Street, which is lined with houses, cottages and shops. Rows of oaks and open spaces transform the streets into soft, shady tunnels. The oaks have actually been proclaimed national monuments.

In addition to its international wine reputation, Stellenbosch is also home to curated, public art exhibitions. During your leisurely walk you will savor the handiwork of both enthusiastic food artisans and celebrated artists in Stellenbosch.

Look for iconic African animals on early-morning and evening game drives in Etosha National Park and luxuriate in between adventures at the contemporary Mokuti Etosha lodge.

Hinweis: Any guests travelling with Portable Oxygen Concentrators (POC) or CPAP breathing machines should read further below for airline stipulations with regards to bringing this equipment on tour.

TAG 1

Upon your arrival at the Walvis Bay pier, the Namibia team will accompany you to the Walvis Bay Airport, where a private charter aircraft awaits the group. You will fly north to the spectacular Mokuti Etosha lodge on the southern border of Namibia’s Etosha National Park.

The contemporary lodge is a private oasis, where you will enjoy the comfort of a spacious room with a private patio. Banded mongooses, antelopes and numerous birds can often be observed from the patio.

Follow check-in and lunch, you will have time to relax and settle in before embarking on a game drive in an open safari vehicle with a professional guide through Etosha National Park. Wildlife sighting are almost guaranteed as Africa’s most iconic creatures congregate around the waterholes along the massive salt pan.

Large animals such as elephants, lions, giraffes, wildebeests and various species of antelope are commonly spotted. Etosha is also one of the best places in the world to see endangered black rhinoceroses in the wild. Herds of springbok and zebra cover the plains and smaller animals such as jackals, warthogs and honey badger roam seemingly everywhere.

Later in the evening, dinner will be served in the lodge’s dining hall or around the boma.

TAG 2

After breakfast at the lodge, you will travel into the Etosha National Park for an early-morning game drive. The landscape and vegetation constantly vary in the park and accordingly so do the animals that are spotted. The sights will likely be completely different than what you observed the day before, especially around the watering holes, where the animals frequently gather.

Late in the morning, you will return to the lodge for lunch and to enjoy the generous amenities. You might play tennis and billiards, work out in the gym, swim in the pool and take advantage of an included treatment at the Omulio Spa.

Toward mid-afternoon, you will head back into the bush on another game drive. It can be a magical time as the temperatures will be cooler, which encourages the animals to emerge from the shelter they sought during the mid-day heat.

Back at the lodge, you might enjoy a luxuriating spa treatment if you haven’t already and perhaps a drink before dinner while you watch a fiery sunset.

TAG 3

Following a breakfast buffet in the dining room or on the terrace, you will transfer to the airstrip for a light aircraft flight to Hosea Kutako International Airport just outside Windhoek. Along the way, you will gaze out over the gorgeous landscape of Central Namibia.

Upon landing, you will check in for the scheduled flight to Cape Town, South Africa. Upon arriving there, you will collect your bags and proceed through Customs and Immigration. You will be met in the arrivals area for the transfer to the port of Cape Town, where you will re-board the cruise ship.

Explore the visually stunning desert landscape of the NamibRand Nature Reserve and observe the animals that inhabit it, while spending evenings at Kwessi Dunes in a chalet with a special open-roof star-gazing room.

TAG 1

Disembark the ship in Walvis Bay, Namibia. You will be met and transferred to the Walvis Bay Airport, where you will board a charter flight to the Kwessi Dunes airstrip.

The flight over the Sossusvlei and Namib desert is an expedition on its own with stunning aerial views. Upon landing at Kwessi Dunes airstrip, collect your luggage and make your way to Kwessi Dunes.

Enjoy a welcome drink upon arrival at the lodge, which occupies a plum location in the NamibRand Nature Reserve, a desert wilderness that is one of the largest private reserves in southern Africa. Your air-conditioned accommodations will be one of only a dozen chalets, each featuring canvas walls, a high thatched roof and a separate star-gazer room that is open to the sky for the ultimate in watching the evening’s celestial show. Other amenities include an en suite bathroom, indoor and outdoor showers and a shaded verandah.

Following lunch and check-in formalities, you will enjoy one of the optional free-of-charge day activities such as quad biking or a nature walk. For an additional charge, you may opt for hot-air ballooning, horseback riding, a scenic helicopter flight, a day trip to the highest dune in the world at Sossuvlei or a spa treatment. Of course, if you simply wish to relax and take in the natural beauty, feel free.

Afternoon tea will be served before you head out on a once-in-a-lifetime scenic drive through the Sossusvlei Desert. The landscape is one of towering earth-toned dunes and jagged mountains that rise above the dry, salt-and-clay pan floor that seems to go on forever.

The scenic drives at Kwessi Dunes are unlike any other you will ever experience. You might not find the Big Five wandering around the harsh desert of the NamibRand, but you will find yourself immersed in a world of rugged and rocky terrain, mauve mountains, red dunes and enormous swathes of desert. Nothing can quite prepare you for seeing it in person.

The space is humbling, and the sense of peace is spiritual. The fairy circles that dot the ground are particularly intriguing. Over the years, the theories behind them have been hotly debated, however no one really knows for certain why they are there. Just another reason to visit this extraordinary place.

The dunes are home to a variety of wildlife that has adapted in many fascinating ways to survive the harsh terrain. You will most likely find gemsbok, springbok, kudu and steenbok, often silhouetted against the red sand. You may also spot Burchell’s zebra amid the dunes as well as the more unusual black-backed jackals, aardwolves and African wild cats, which can be surprisingly easy to find compared to those in other reserves on the continent. Leopards and cheetah are rare but there are small numbers of both.

Back at the lodge, you will have time to freshen up before dinner. The sky should then be ideal for star-gazing in your private outdoor sky bed. Thanks to the lodge’s remote location, there is very little light pollution so the skies are typically crystal clear. In fact, the NamibRand is Africa’s first designated International Dark Sky Reserve because it is one of the least light-polluted places in the world.

TAG 2

Wake up to the gorgeous Namib desert air and enjoy a cup of tea or coffee before embarking on the ultimate 4x4 scenic desert drive. Afterwards, you will have time to freshen up and enjoy lunch before spending the afternoon at leisure, exploring the lodge surroundings and perhaps taking advantage of an additional optional activity.

Later, you will embark on an evening scenic drive and experience a whole new side of this desert oasis as the sun begins to set. Upon returning to the lodge, you will have time to freshen up before dinner.

TAG 3

Depending on departure flight time, you may be able to embark on one last morning activity followed by breakfast and check-out formalities.

Then, make your way to the airstrip and board your charter flight to Windhoek.

On arrival at Windhoek’s airport, you will be met and assisted to connect onto an international scheduled flight to Cape Town, South Africa.

Once you have collected your luggage and gone through Customs there, you will be met at the arrival hall at the Cape Town International Airport by your guide, who will show you to your transport. You will then transfer to the Cape Town harbor to meet your ship.

Hinweis: Mehrtägige Landausflüge umfassen in der Regel ausgedehnte und längere Unternehmungen, während kürzere Ausflüge ein moderateres Programm bieten. Alle Programme sind jedoch verschieden, und die Teilnehmer sollten sich auf unterschiedliche Straßen- und Wegeverhältnisse einstellen, z. B.: Steigungen, Sand und Kies oder unbefestigte Wege. Gelegentlich wird auch Treppensteigen verlangt. Rollstuhlfahrer und Gäste mit eingeschränkter Mobilität wenden sich bitte im Voraus an die Kreuzfahrtgesellschaft und erkundigen sich, ob die gewünschten Ausflüge ganz oder nur teilweise für ihre individuelle Situation geeignet sind.

Alle Programme an Land sind beschränkt und gelten vorbehaltlich der Verfügbarkeit. Programme, bei denen nicht die Mindestanzahl an erforderlichen Teilnehmern erreicht wird, können gestrichen werden.
