South Africa

The splendours of South Africa beckon, and here you’ll find a very different wilderness, and completely new encounters. Some of it is hilly, and carpeted in veldt – leopard country, where lightning rules supreme. Here, gnarly trees stand up bravely to breathtaking summer storms.

Then there’s the rolling Highveld, with a wealth of natural wonder held protectively in the preserve of the nation’s renowned Kruger National Park.

And beyond that, there is so much to be discovered – a unique and compelling history, cities that are a distinct amalgam of cultures, and landscapes that shift beguilingly from one province to the next.

Victoria Falls

There’s nothing quite like standing in front of the world’s largest sheet of falling water, which rises up to 108 metres and spans a gorge carved out of a flat plateau.

Victoria Falls, although rightly considered one of the Seven Natural Wonders of the World, isn’t just a spectacular natural feature, it’s also a place of immense spiritual strength and beauty.

David Livingstone, the first European to witness the magnificence of Victoria Falls, best described it as a scene ‘gazed upon by angels in their flight’.

The Masai Mara is home to 95 species of animals, amphibians and reptiles and over 400 species of birds. The annual Great Migration from July to September attracts over a million wildebeest, zebra and impala, a phenomenon that has to be seen to be appreciated.

Mountains high and craters deep

Enjoy marvellous views of Mount Kilimanjaro, the highest free-standing mountain in the world, as massive herds of elephants migrate across the dry plains of Amboseli National Park. Shift your gaze downwards to the incredible vistas over Ngorongoro Crater, known as ‘Africa’s Eden’. Even more spectacular than the views from above is a game drive along the crater floor among an unparalleled concentration of wildlife, including the highest density of predators in all of Africa.

Flightseeing options

Whether you soar above the vast plains of the Masai Mara or enjoy a bird’s-eye view of the spectacle that is Victoria Falls you’ll be able to appreciate these natural wonders from a unique vantage point.

Spectacular Victoria Falls Helicopter Flight

When it comes to viewing Victoria Falls, a helicopter is undoubtedly the best vantage point. At ground level you can feel the enormous power of the falls as the volumes of water pound into the chasm below. But it is only when you see them from the air that you can take in the whole panorama and enormity of this mighty spectacle. Known as the ‘flight of angels’ it is easy to understand why

a helicopter ride over Victoria Falls is named after a heavenly experience as you take in the view of the thundering water below and the natural wildlife in the surrounding bush. This is a truly remarkable experience.

12-15 minute flight

US$165 per person

Must be booked on tour.

Masai Mara Hot Air Balloon Flight

Your adventure begins just before dawn. As the sun’s golden glow tinges the eastern horizon, the ground crew help you board your hot air balloon for a spectacular one hour flight.

Your hot air balloon will silently soar over the Masai Mara ecosystem and the snaking Mara River, with its vast rolling acacia and shrub studded grassland, rivers, forests, hills and escarpments. Magnificent scenery, which stretches as far the eye can see, with a constant pageant of wildlife, all unfolding before you during this awe-inspiring flight.
