It’s often said that once you visit Africa, a piece of it will live in your heart forever, and once you’ve experienced Africa on a Vantage Deluxe World Travel luxury safari, you’re sure to fall completely in love with this continent.
Here are our top six highlights:
Maasai Village Visit: Stop at a Maasai village and learn how, despite western influences, a traditional mud-hut way of life remains intact here. Robed in red — and with their spears and rungu (knobkerrie) always in hand — the Maasai warriors will perform their traditional jumping dance to reveal how high they can leap.
Visit Nelson Mandela’s home: On a tour of Soweto, South Africa’s largest township, you’ll sense the significance and history of the anti-apartheid struggle as you walk along the only street in the world where two Nobel Peace Prize Laureates used to live: Nelson Mandela and Desmond Tutu. You’ll stop at the house in Vilakazi street where Nelson Mandela lived prior to his arrest.
Home-hosted meal in Zimbabwe: You’re in for an authentic, cultural treat — sharing a meal with a Zimbabwean family in their own home, where you’ll enjoy dinner and conversation. Known for genuine smiles and sincere friendliness, this heartfelt encounter will truly enrich your trip.
Primary school visit: As part of our Vantage Cares philanthropic initiative, you’ll enjoy a stop at Chinotimba Primary School. Here you’ll meet the dedicated teaching staff and their students, and be warmly welcomed with songs and dances performed but the children.
Chobe Explorer cruise: Board the triple-decker Vantage-exclusive Chobe Explorer cruising boat, where you can truly relax for the rest of the day. This is your time to slow down and soak up the beauty of this incredible wetland and its abundant wildlife, while enjoying a delicious barbecue lunch and sunset cocktails.
Safari game drives: Our professional safari guides will show you Africa’s big game from open safari vehicles and on walking safaris. We’ll drive slowly along routes known for the best animal sightings in the hope of spotting lions and their prey — including antelopes, buffaloes, zebras, and giraffes — as well as elephants. And, if we’re very lucky, we may even see rhinos and leopards to round out our potential Big Five spotting.
If you’re ready to experience the beauty of Africa for yourself, we invite you to embark upon your own incredible luxury safari:
