Africa at its best

19 DAYS

Safari adventures to the highlights of three countries: Sossusvlei, Okavango Delta and Zambezi

You glide almost silently in a mokoro through a labyrinth of water arms. “Tchzrrr-tchzrr!” – shrills the call of a shrike, which warns the other animals of your dugout. Joyce, your Bayei guide, stops punting and points to a tiny reed frog, well camouflaged, bobbing on a papyrus stalk. How she manages to spot such a fingernail-sized dwarf will probably remain her secret forever. But that’s how it’s been all morning… Lechwe antelopes under Ilala palms; jacanas on lily pads; Hippos, always breaking new waterways in the man-high reeds. Joyce knows the Okavango Delta like the back of her hand, this green island of life in the middle of the Kalahari.

From Table Mountain to the Victoria Falls

24 DAYS

Warm morning sun bathes the wall of Table Mountain in bright colors. A shimmering cloud cover, affectionately called tablecloth by the Cape Towners, hangs over the mountain plateau. Above all lies the magic of the dawning day, while the cable car gondola slowly pushes towards the summit. Lion’s Head, Gardens, Waterfront, Robben Island – your eyes wander and the whole of Cape Town is at your feet. Up here, the view wideneds and the senses open up. Up here begins your three-week safari adventure on one of the most beautiful routes in southern Africa.

From the desert sea to the Zambezi

16 DAYS

The Kwando flows hundreds of kilometers through the highlands of Angola before it flows into the mighty Zambezi as the Chobe. Together with the Kavango, it creates a lush green landscape in northern Namibia that contrasts with the country’s endless deserts and savannahs. Elephants stand shoulder-high in the river and feast on sweet lily pads. Openbills comb small lagoons for snails and crayfish. Skilled Mafwe fishermen wade through the shallows with fishing baskets to catch tilapia and catfish. This is the undiscovered green realm of the Caprivi Strip.

Hands-on safari from Cape Town across the Namib and Kalahari deserts to the Okavango Delta and the Victoria Falls

Only a few thin stems and leaves betray the tuber in the Kalahari sand, which the old hunter digs from the San people to rub them, press them in their hands and obtain vital drops of water. “Bi! (Klicklaut)”, “Milk”, the San call this tuber and they are masters of water search, fire, track reading and survival in one of the most inhospitable terrain on earth. Learn how to catch the morning dew in ostrich egg shells and embark on a unique adventure in the south of the African continent.

Discovery trip for Africa connoisseurs: Luanda, Pungo Andongo, Namibe and train ride with the former Benguela train

The “Black Rocks” of Pungo Andongo look like diced by giants into the savannah. In the middle of these majestic island mountains used to be the Ndongo Empire with its famous warrior queen Njinga. According to a popular legend, the beautiful queen once took a bath in a spring between the rocks and was surprised by foreign soldiers. Frightened, horrified and naked, Njinga managed to escape over the rocks. However, she is said to have appeared so firmly that you can still admire her footprint in the rock today. Follow the traces of the queen into the dream landscapes of Angola – a country full of beauty, almost undiscovered by tourism.
