100% customisable for you
After a night in the air you'll land in Cape Town, where you are to be met at the airport by one of our ground team. They will grab your bags and escort you on the private transfer from the airport to your hotel in the centre of town. After you've had some time to freshen up, a guide will meet you to take you on a tour of the city and to see the iconic Table Mountain. Depending on time and how busy you want to be your tour might take in the Houses of Parliament, the Castle (South Africa's oldest building, dating from 1679), the lively Greenmarket Square with its daily market, the Company Gardens and of course Table Mountain, which will give you spectacular views over the city and the Peninsula.
As you come back down from the mountain, make a stop at Bo-Kaap, home to the Cape Malay community, with its cobbled streets and brightly coloured houses. From here you have the choice of being dropped off at the Waterfront to experience this vibrant location at your own pace, or at your hotel to end the tour and a fun-filled first day.
While in Cape Town, make the most of your proximity to the Winelands and enjoy a guided tasting tour of the vineyards in Stellenbosch, Franschhoek and Paarl, which are all just over an hour's drive away. With a driver-guide to take care of the driving you're free to relax and can sip away on the wines as you please. Your first stop will be Stellenbosch, which is the second oldest town in South Africa and is well known for its Cape Dutch architecture and pinotages wines. Next up is Franschhoek, which has become something of a foodie hub in recent years and offers the opportunity to pair your wine tasting with a chocolate or cheese tasting too. Finally, finish off in stunning Paarl, set at the foot of a cluster of remarkable granite domes. Your guide will be able to make recommendations throughout the day and can tailor the tour to your preferences.
After a day of wine and some time spent soaking up the sun and pretty Winelands scenery, you'll then head back to Cape Town in time for dinner. Our Concierge can help you choose a restaurant and make sure it's all booked in with your taxis also organised.
Today it's time to say goodbye to Cape Town as you're collected from your hotel and driven to the airport in good time for your direct flight to Maun in Botswana. The flight time is just two and a half hours, landing at around lunchtime. Once you're on the ground you'll meet one of our friendly Botswanan team who will escort you on the light aircraft flight to one of the luxury Great Plains Conservation Camps (location TBC, depending on exact release logistic). This will be your base for the next four nights and the collection point for you to join the Rhinos Without Borders team on the much-anticipated rhino release day. As part of the Great Plains Conservation group the guiding team at your camp will all be heavily conservation focused, so it'll be a fitting setting to get you even more excited for the release.
Spend your first afternoon getting used to your bush surroundings and then head out with your guide on a first game drive early this evening, to spot some of the reserve's big game. Dinner will then be served back at the camp before you head to bed.
It's time for a change of scenery today, but first enjoy one last game drive in beautiful Botswana. When you get back to the lodge you'll have time for breakfast before being transferred to the airstrip for your flight to Victoria Falls airport in Zimbabwe. There will be a quick touch down and opportunity to pass through border control at Kasane en route but the whole journey should be pretty seamless and have you landing to meet one of our on the ground team in no time. We suggest keeping your stay in the Victoria Falls area consistent with the wildlife experiences you'll have had in Botswana by staying at another Great Plains Conservation camp, the luxurious Mpala Jena Camp. To get there from Victoria Falls airport you'll be transferred by 4x4 for an hour, with the second half of the journey passing through the Zambezi National Park so you can hopefully spot some wildlife en route.
When you arrive, spend some time settling in and enjoying a dip in your private plunge pool on your terrace which overlooks the Zambezi River.
