Ascend Cape Point and marvel at the panoramic ocean views, and see African penguins at Boulders Beach.

Next, board the Rovos Rail for a two-night deluxe train journey, then thrill to sightings of the Big Five and other exotic wildlife on game drives during your three-night luxury safari at Thornybush Game Reserve. In Johannesburg, tour Soweto, visit a local youth center and attend a tree-planting ceremony. Bring this exceptional program to a close in Zimbabwe by experiencing the power and majesty of thundering Victoria Falls, one of the seven Natural Wonders of the World.
