VICTORIA FALLS O C T O B E R 1 5 -1 8 , 2 0 1 1
The awesome Victoria Falls is literally on the doorstep of the Royal Livingstone Hotel – it feels as if you could reach out and touch it, as it plummets into the chasm far below. David Livingstone explored this land of potent beauty and discovered one of the Seven Natural Wonders of the World. In his footprints, only moments away from the mighty Zambezi River with dramatic torrent of the Victoria Falls as its natural milieu, a magnificent resort has been created as a testament to his discovery and in reverence to the splendor of this World Heritage Site. Journey to this enchanting place and witness the greatest mass of falling water on earth as it plunges down a sheer rock face, spraying its mystical mist hundreds of meters in the air.

MALAMALA / LION SANDS O C TO B E R 1 8 - 2 1, 2 0 1 1
Two of the top game-viewing lodges will immerse you into the sights & sounds of the bush – MalaMala and Lion Sands. Both lodges are private reserves with exceptional wildlife and warm, African hospitality. Your safari experience begins early each day with a light breakfast before hopping into an open-air land rover for a morning game drive. You will ride through a variety of habitat – dense riverine forest, open grassland, rocky outcrops and acacia bushveld – each sustaining different animal and plant species. Return to the lodge for brunch, then dip into the pool or nap before afternoon tea and a second game drive at dusk. Enjoy sundowners in the bush, followed by a leisurely dinner around the Boma and a nightcap under the Southern stars. Simple splendor in the wilderness!

UPGRADED ACCOMMODATIONS O C TO B E R 1 8 - 2 1, 2 0 1 1
You may choose to upgrade from standard rooms to either a luxury room or “khaya” (Zulu meaning “home”). These villas offer unique furnishings, plunge pools and complete privacy in the bushveld. Consider Rattray's at MalaMala, which is the newest camp addition. Each suite or villa functions as an inclusive home, resplendent with hand-selected furnishings, lavish his-andhers bathrooms, a secluded outdoor shower and a private heated plunge pool. Guests staying at Rattray’s share a safari vehicle with just four people, instead of six. At Lion Sands, upgraded accommodations are in Ivory Lodge, where ultra luxurious becomes simple and uncluttered. This lodge is about overriding exclusivity with complete privacy, where each suite is operated as a private villa. Neither word nor photograph can capture the sense of the pure beauty which is breathed in when opening the carved wooden doors leading into this private refuge. Breathtaking views of the Sabie River, which has flowing water all year around, can be viewed through the oversized windows of your villa or from your private viewing terrace. Baby elephants bathing in the river, zebra, gnu and the large Nile crocodile are the only neighbors you shall see. MalaMala / Lion Sands Upgrades | October 18-21, 2011 | Page 11
