- Optional Victoria Falls Extension
Guides: Lee & Loraine Dummer
Africa…just the name evokes exotic images of the wildest of animals at civilization’s outer reaches. Spotting wildlife will be first among our travel objectives, but we’ll also be seeking the unique history of South Africa, including settlement by the Afrikaners, battles with the Zulu and the Boer War, and the ultimate byproduct — Apartheid. Opportunities for cultural activities with some of the many native tribes will help us to connect with the roots of Africa.
Highlights
- Cape Town, oldest European settlement in Southern Africa, with visits to Table Mountain and the Cape of Good Hope
- Zululand, with a game drive to see the white rhino and a cruise among the St. Lucia wetlands in search of crocodiles and hippos
- Cultural connections with local Africans in Zululand and Swaziland
- Game drives in Kruger National Park in hopes of sighting the “Big Five” (rhino, elephant, lion, leopard, and buffalo)
- Several walks that feature the uniquely African landscapes of Table Mountain, the massive Blyde River Canyon complex, Zululand’s bushveld, the grassland plains of Mlilwane Wildlife Sanctuary in Swaziland, and the world renowned Hluhluwe/ Umfolozi Game Reserve
- The Hector Pieterson Museum and the township of Soweto in Johannesburg, potent reminders of the ramifications of racial injustice
- Extension: The thunderous roar of Victoria Falls, one of the 7 natural wonders of the world, and Botswana’s Chobe Nat’l Park!
