Highlights

See mountain gorillas on a trek through Uganda’s steamy forests, and watch them play, eat, and laze in the sun. With all gorilla permits included on your trip, you can spend an unforgettable hour in their presence.

Go on safaris in some pretty iconic spots, including the Ngorongoro Crater, the Serengeti savanna, the Okavango Delta, and the Maasai Mara.

Chill out on the northern beaches of Zanzibar with plenty of free time to choose your own adventure. Kick back on the white sands or maybe go for a swim in the sparkling blue waters of the Indian Ocean.

Visit a workshop where local women transform snares set by poachers into beautiful jewellery inspired by the African landscape, with proceeds supporting conservation efforts.

Wild camp on a remote island deep in the Okavango Delta. As night falls, listen to the sounds of the bush coming alive.

day 1Cape Town

Sawubona! Welcome to South Africa. With its stunning coastline, modern cityscape and nearby mountains, Cape Town is one of Africa's most exciting cities. Your adventure begins with a welcome meeting at 6 pm this evening. If you arrive early, why not get out and explore Cape Town, maybe with a walk in Newlands Forest or by jumping on the Table Mountain Aerial Cableway. You could also head down to the waterfront to see Cape Town Stadium up close. After the meeting, ask your leader where the best dinner spots are and consider heading out for a welcome dinner with your group.
