Extremely varied landscapes
The ultimate summary of the extremely varied scenic beauty of southern Africa, that is the essence of this three-country tour. You begin this adventure on Zanzibar, where you can really shift down to a much lower gear by the sea. White sandy beaches and azure sea, the clichés are completely true! Rested and refreshed, the great safari adventure begins in Tanzania's most beautiful game parks, including the salt lake Lake Manyara, the famous Ngorongoro Crater and the vast savannahs of the Serengeti. Then fly to Cape Town in South Africa, where fashionable venues and stunning nature - such as Boulders Beach where colonies of penguins live - are very close together. The wine country of Franschhoek is magically beautiful, and what's more, here you are in the heart of culinary South Africa. That every meal is accompanied by fine wines goes without saying. Your final destination shows yet another completely different face of Africa: the impressive sand dunes of Sossusvlei in Namibia. The last nights under the immense starry sky, gemsbok leaving fresh tracks in the sand early in the morning, the play of pastel shades changing as the sun rises higher; it is all so incredibly beautiful. Where the world can't find you ...
Combination of fly-in, private safari and self-drive
The pace of travel changes constantly, that is to make traveling as pleasant as possible. Sometimes a charter flight by small plane is really the most efficient option, and how fantastic it is to see Africa from the air! By road, the pace is slower, you are more in touch with the locals, the smells and sounds of nature. In the game parks, you will go on private safari with your own guide. This way you are completely free to decide where you would like to stay a little longer, how long you want to drive around. Also consider taking a balloon ride, because seeing Serengeti from the air is truly a unique experience! South Africa and Namibia lend themselves perfectly to driving around by rental car. Of course we give you all kinds of options for excursions and where desired we book activities for you, but there is always room for your own interpretation. It gives a lot of freedom, which contributes to the ultimate vacation feeling.
