What unforgettable moments. Waking up in the bush luxury of a tented camp to catch elephants soaking in the morning sun. Or deciding on a lark to join your safari guide for a game walk through a private wildlife reserve. Crossing paths with a pod of hippos cooling off as you ride a mokoro through quiet Okavango waterways. Or taking stock of exquisite untamed beauty over cocktails in the setting sun.

Spend plenty of time with the wildlife in Southern Africa—Botswana, South Africa, Zimbabwe, and Zambia—but let’s not forget about the more civilized parts of your journey. The magnificent reds of the Cape Winelands. History lessons in Rivonia and Soweto. And sophisticated Cape Town, a city we love.

R. Crusoe’s Southern African journeys can include various types of accommodations: permanent tented camps, bush lodges, and fine hotels.

How long should you set aside for your Southern African journey? That depends on who’s in your group and what exactly you would like to see and do. Generally speaking, you should plan for a journey of between 12 and 18 days.
