MAKE TRAVEL MATTER® Experiences are conscious travel experiences available on itineraries across our family of brands. MAKE TRAVEL MATTER® Experiences are chosen with great care based on the positive social or environmental impact they have on their communities and those who experience them.

Using our MAKE TRAVEL MATTER® EAssessment, travel experiences will be rated against a set of rigorous criteria, selected from the Global Indicator Framework for the Global Goals, to identify the ways they advance the 17 UN Global Goals that TTC’s new 5-year sustainability strategy, How We Tread Right (HWTR) prioritizes. These criteria also account for the educational component that is vital in helping travelers become aware of their global citizenship. Through HWTR, we are committed to integrating at least one MAKE TRAVEL MATTER® Experience across 50% of all TTC itineraries by 2025.

What can our guests expect? MAKE TRAVEL MATTER® Experiences seek to encourage the greatest community benefit from travel and tourism, while educating guests across our brands about the Global Goals and the local community actions being taken to advance them.

SOUTH AND SOUTHERN AFRICA South and Southern Africa are home to some of the most vibrant and diverse cultures in the world. From the bustling cities of Johannesburg, and Cape Town, to the small towns and villages dotting the countryside, there is something for everyone in these two regions. Both destinations offer a wide variety of experiences for visitors. In South Africa, visitors can experience the cosmopolitan atmosphere of Cape Town, the natural beauty of Kruger National Park, and the vibrant culture of Johannesburg. You'll find vast grasslands punctuated by rocky outcroppings and towering mountains. The country's coastal areas are dotted with sandy beaches and sheltered coves. Inland, you'll find yourself in the Drakensberg Mountains, a range that runs along the border between South Africa and Lesotho. Southern Africa is home to a number of countries, each with its own unique attractions. To the north, you'll find Botswana, a land of vast plains and Savannahs. The Okavango Delta is one of the most famous features of this country. Zimbabwe is home to some of Africa's most impressive landscapes. Victoria Falls, one of the world's largest waterfalls, is located here. The country also has several game reserves and national parks where guests can see wildlife including lions, elephants, and buffalo in their natural habitat. Zambia is another landlocked country with a diverse landscape. Here you'll find everything from dense rainforests to sprawling savannahs. And in Mozambique, you'll find beautiful beaches alongside mangrove forests and rocky coastline. No matter where you go in Southern Africa, you're sure to encounter a variety of landscapes and terrains.

WESTERN CAPE

CAPE TOWN

Is any place on Earth as enchanting, as spectacular, as Cape Town? No wonder the world regularly votes it one of the world’s most beautiful cities, set at the tip of a green and historically fascinating province.

WINELANDS

Cape Town has it all – a fascinating mix of up-to-the-minute vibrancy, memorable history and culture, and spectacular natural beauty – all rubbing shoulders under the iconic magic of Table Mountain. The architecture alone is notable: Cape Malay, centuries-old Dutch and British, sleek modern skyscrapers, 21st century apartments and office buildings. Imbibe the timeless wonder of the ‘Mother City’ and the bustle of flower sellers, buskers and craft markets. Close at hand are the Houses of Parliament. So too is the sensational Victoria & Alfred Waterfront, the lively happening centre of the city, with its boutiques, its fun and activities, the Two Oceans Aquarium, and countless great restaurants, from which you can watch the coming and going of the finest ships, cruise liners and ultra-luxurious yachts from every part of the world. An easy boat ride from Cape Town is the famous Robben Island, with the one-time prison cell of the universally beloved former President of South Africa, Nelson Mandela. The Western Cape is an extravaganza of experiences: whale watching at Hermanus, quiet strolls through the beautiful botanic gardens of Kirstenbosch, wine tasting at any of the legendary wine estates. If you’re reaching for the stars, visit the sleepy Karoo village of Sutherland, with its scintillating, starry night sky and its 11 world class telescopes. Take a break! Take time out with the sun-worshippers on the magnificent beaches of Clifton, Llandudno or Camps Bay, followed by a chilled sundowner cocktail at a classy beachside pub or lounge. There’s no end to the charm of the Cape lifestyle.

EASTERN CAPE AND GARDEN ROUTE The Eastern Cape is full of surprising contrasts. One day's drive will take in sophisticated fine arts, gourmet dining, and a superb, rugged, unspoiled seascape.

EASTERN CAPE

GARDEN ROUTE

The Garden Route is universally known for its spectacular natural beauty. The journey crosses magnificent mountain passes, winds gently along the unspoiled coastline, and ventures deep into the breathtaking state forest in the Tsitsikamma National Park, renowned for its protection of South Africa’s remaining indigenous yellowwood trees. The lush, forested Garden Route takes in some of the country’s finest seaside resorts, like Wilderness, Plettenberg Bay, and - perhaps the best of all Knysna, with its giant sandstone ‘Heads’ framing the entrance to the tidal lagoon. Oyster lovers will be captivated by Knysna, the country’s largest commercial oyster farming centre. Hikers and ramblers are drawn there too, to tackle the numerous world-famous coastal hiking trails. Move up the coast and inland, and you’ll see the greenness fading into the stark semi-arid Karoo region. A tour of the fascinating limestone and ice formations of the Cango Caves will be breathtaking. As if that were not enough, many of the Eastern Cape’s first-class game reserves, public and private, invite you to see the ‘Big Five’ - and at Addo Elephant National Park, the ‘Big Seven’, including whales and great white sharks. A visit to this region of the Cape would not be complete without a glimpse of some of the remote villages, many almost unchanged since they were built. You’ll love the quirky nineteenth century architecture, with delightful rustic scenes and a warm country welcome. Marvel at the unexpected splendour of the untamed Wild Coast in the former Transkei, where former President Nelson Mandela was born. Port Elizabeth, the gateway to the Eastern Cape, is different! You’ll sense it immediately. The startling out-of-the-ordinary vistas will generously reward your eastward journey.

NORTHERN CAPE AND FREESTATE Waterfalls, deep gorges, majestic blackmaned lions and blood-red sands are all part of the vast, unspoiled panorama which makes up the landscape of the Northern Cape. If it’s pure, natural beauty and wildlife you’re after, prepare to be captivated by the extraordinary wealth of both, found throughout the magnificent Northern Cape region. From the awe-inspiring sandstone towers of the Golden Gate National Park to the enchanting artist’s haven of Clarens, this region will tug at your heart-strings with its mix of quaint, imposing and historical features. The Free State is fascinating and impressive, with its delightful mix of scenery, history and art.

ESWATINI This is the smallest country in the Southern hemisphere but there's nothing small about its natural beauty, outstanding wilderness reserves and warmhearted people.

KWAZULU NATAL Outdoors is where you have to be! This is the wet 'n wild city, where the sun shines all year round, where the warm Indian Ocean calls, and the fun never sets. There's swimming, surfing, hiking, biking, history and spectacular mountain scenery. Meet the picturesque diversity of the ‘Rainbow Nation’ on an early morning stroll along Durban’s ‘Golden Mile’ beachfront. There’s jogging, cycling, swimming, surfing and paddle boating. There are baptisms, talented sand artists and informal souvenir shops. It’s an amazing display of a living, flourishing city. Take a short drive to the north, to Umhlanga, sometimes called the ‘new city centre’. You’ll find a vibrant metropolis of the most impressive mansions, glittering office blocks and stylish beachfront apartments, the vast new development of today’s residential and commercial lifestyle. Here are the bright lights of Durban’s future. Durban’s port is the busiest in Africa, and the waterfront is fringed with colourful restaurants, bars, shops and live music venues. The harbour is busy, busy, busy with tugs, luxury yachts, huge container vessels and small tourist boats on the move all the time. It’s lively and exciting. A short drive inland takes in the spectacular Valley of a Thousand Hills, with breathtaking views as far as the eye can see, a tantalising introduction to Zulu culture, and arts and craft shops of every kind. Go on westwards to the Kwazulu Natal Midlands for still more arts, crafts, food and culture in the Midlands Meander. You cannot think of visiting KwaZulu Natal without taking in the majesty and splendour of the Drakensberg Mountains, enjoying the numerous ‘Berg lodges and chalets, and viewing for yourself the ancient San artwork adorning the walls of caves and crevices, one of South Africa’s finest World Heritage Sites. In and around Durban, there’s everything under the sun and more!

ZULULAND Where can you find an outstanding world heritage site, Hluhluwe-iMfolozi Park, the oldest game park in Africa, and South Africa's supreme dive resort? The exuberant heart of the Zulu Kingdom. For superb coastal resources, visit Zululand, with its Greater St Lucia (iSimangaliso) Wetland Park, Hluluwe-iMfolozi Park and rich Anglo-Zulu history. Isimangaliso Wetland Park, the country’s third-largest wildlife sanctuary and a magnificent World Heritage Site, is Internationally renowned and boasts a spectacular coastline, the second-highest vegetated sea-dunes on earth, and pods of hippo, crocodile and elephant. With its numerous environments and no fewer than 367 species of birds, the park is a remarkable feast for the senses. A major draw-card to the Zululand region is the opportunity to see the ‘Big Five’ in the vast Hluhluwe-Imfolozi Park. As the home of Operation Rhino in the 1950’s and 1960’s, the Park became world renowned for its white rhino conservation. The Rhino Capture Unit of the park can take credit for helping save the endangered White Rhino from the brink of extinction. The Park is also home to 86 special species including hippo, cheetah, spotted hyena and the blue wildebeest, and as a prime birding destination, boasts 340 different bird species. In the past few years, the town of St Lucia has developed into a centre of action and adventure. Visitors set out to sea to watch the dolphins at play, they brave the surf with jet-boats, go snorkelling, scuba-diving, horse-riding or quad-biking. Near at hand is the subcontinent’s only breeding ground for the giant leatherback turtles, which can be seen at night. There’s more than enough on offer for everyone at this lively Coastal Resort. Part of the magnetism of the underwater mecca of Sodwana Beach is the solitude and serenity of the ocean. Scuba-divers glide among the teeming fish-life in the warm waters of the coral reefs. Even the shipwrecks add their quaint appeal to this spectacular experience. The abundance and colours of the marine life have to be seen to be believed.

MPUMALANGA AND LIMPOPO You could not imagine a finer big game area than this, with super-luurious Africa-style lodges, gourmet bush cuisine and exciting, adrenaline pumping wildlife experiences. If you listen carefully, you may hear a faint roar in this north-east corner of South Africa. This is big game territory. In the world-famous Kruger National Park you’ll find the largest concentration of game species on earth, and the best developed infrastructure of all Africa’s game parks. The Kruger National Park is without doubt the best do-it-yourself drive-through reserve on the continent. If your preference is the more secluded, luxurious version of an ‘Out-of-Africa’ experience, take your choice from the wide range of breath-taking private bush camps in the Sabi Sand and Timbavati areas to the south of Kruger Park. In these ultra-luxurious private reserves and camps, you’ll find the gourmet cuisine you desire, stunning accommodation, heavenly spa treatments, outstanding service and personal attention . . . While your game rangers will regale you with enthralling bush stories and the intimate details of every kind of life in the bush. These private reserves offer amazing game experiences: the Sabi Sand is famous for its leopard sightings, while the Timbavati boasts great herds of buffalo. In addition to these memorable safari adventures, the region holds many more sensational natural attractions than can be listed here. You will stand in awe at the view from God’s Window near Graskop, or the Blyde River Canyon’s rust-coloured sandstone cliffs and craggy buttresses. Take a drive to Pilgrim’s Rest, the charming Victorian town ‘frozen’ in the time of the gold-mining prospectors. In Limpopo Province to the north, you’ll find more rich wildlife sanctuaries, magnificent scenery and a world of historical and cultural fascination. Mix the past and the present as you view the archaeological treasures found at Mapungubwe National Park, a world heritage site. Add a side-line to your trip, with a short hop from Southern Kruger, to spend a night in Maputo, Mozambique’s capital. The city has everything from an intriguing history, to unequalled seafood meals and, if this is your choice, a late night with a Latin American swing.

NORTH WEST PROVINCE Switch off the city blues. Go north west to explore your wilder side. Rub your eyes, clean your glasses – it’s unbelievable but true! Just two hours from Johannesburg, into the heart of untamed bushveld, and suddenly it’s there – towering domes, glowing lights, seemingly ancient stonework, giant sculpted animals and swaying palm trees. Welcome to the mind-boggling Palace of the Lost City, and Sun City Resort. Golfing? Yes, if you’re looking for one of the world’s two top-ranked courses. The beach? In North West province? Yes, there’s a man-made beach complete with waves. This is a world-famous oasis of pleasure and entertainment, the setting for major international events such as the miss world contest, celebrity rock concerts, golf tournaments and lavish extravaganzas. Right next door is the Pilanesberg National Park, home of the ‘big five’ and a renowned bird haven. Here are some of the best animal spotting opportunities, including scavenger hide, underground and with glass viewing ports, not to mention a birdhide on stilts in the middle of Mankwe Dam. Travel further north – still only four to five hours from Johannesburg – to the Madikwe Game Reserve, an enthralling joint venture between the state, the private sector and local communities. Here is one of the most successful wild dog rehabilitation programmes in the country, and a haven for a fascinating variety of wildlife. Several exclusive game lodges have been established in this reserve, a reflection of the quality and quantity of game to be seen here.

GAUTENG Somehow, the hectic gold rush days of 1886 still resonate in 'Egoli', Johannesburg, the vibrant metropolis, the City of Gold. This is the largest city in South Africa, Johannesburg, the financial and commercial heart of the country, home of the imposing Stock Exchange building. Business is business, but pleasure is pleasure – in the affluent suburbs of Sandton, Hyde Park, Rosebank, Melrose Arch and Fourways, are vast, opulent shopping centres to appeal to the most avid of shoppers. There’s something for everyone – exclusive boutiques, outstanding eateries, vibrant pavement cafes and theme complexes for entertainment. To gain a perspective on the history of South Africa, see the Apartheid Museum, a fascinating if not disturbing record of notso-long-ago South Africa. At the other end of the spectrum is the impressive Constitutional Court, the protector of our basic human rights and freedom. Both recapture the darker aspects of our history, but conclude with a positive affirmation of new beginnings. See a different kind of lifestyle: venture into the vast, world renowned township of Soweto for an eyeopening tour of the laid back drinking dens, the ‘shebeens’. Tuck into a midday feast of modern local cuisine, share experiences with the people of Soweto, and you may be lucky enough to be treated with impromptu live music. In the suburb of Randburg you’ll find unique waterfronts with shops and waterside restaurants. An hour’s drive from Johannesburg is a delightful arts and crafts meander in the tranquillity of the Magaliesburg Mountain area. Gauteng is understandably proud of its World Heritage Site, the Sterkfontein Caves, where the earth’s earliest hominid has been discovered. The Cradle of Humankind includes important archaeological findings from 15 sites, and ultimately the discovery at Sterkfontein. Just a few kilometres away, at Maropeng, is a world-class exhibition centre to complement the Sterkfontein discovery.

PRETORIA Pretoria, the administrative capital of South Africa, reflects the extremes of the county's history. A visit to Pretoria is a giant step towards a new understanding of the complexities of the country. This beautiful city is a showpiece of South Africa’s sad and controversial past, and of its vibrant new life. Statues and monuments commemorating the country’s past history are seen in the very environment where Nelson Mandela was inaugurated as the first black President of an optimistic, forward-looking nation. But it’s not all about the past. This is a modern and growing city, with a firm grasp on the future, with first-rate shopping, top restaurants and a lively arts community. The heart of the new Pretoria is to be found in the hamlet of Hatfield. In the centre of the city is Church Square, presided over by the huge bronze statue of ‘Oom Paul’ Kruger, seen by many as the father of Afrikanerdom. South of Pretoria, high on a hill, stands the proud shrine to the Afrikaner community, the massive Voortrekker Monument. But the most famous landmark in Pretoria is the crescent- shaped Union Buildings. Here, in 1994, in these terraced gardens, in one of the pivotal moments of the 20th century, Nelson Mandela took office as President.

Springtime in Pretoria will leave you breathless, when the 70 000 cultivated Jacaranda Trees burst into bloom and carpet the streets in endless lilac. It’s a sight to behold, when the many statues stand proudly in a blur of colour.

BOTSWANA For an all-round safari experience of a lifetime, visit Botswana with those who know it best - Thompsons Africa. For more than 36 years, the warm and welcoming Thompsons Africa team has been providing a highly professional safari adventure to visitors from around the globe, keen to be guided as to the customs, traditions and of course, glorious highlights of this extraordinary country. Thompsons will guide guests through their itinerary and provide assistance with anything necessary to make their safari an entirely memorable one. Nothing is too much trouble,and the experienced team is at the end of a telephone line twenty four hours a day and night. There’s more to Botswana than the magnificent Okavango Delta and its diversity of habitats, but still, the Delta is unlike anything else you’ll have seen or experienced. With us, you’ll have the opportunity to gaze at if from numerous vantage points….from the air, water and land. This legendary inland waterway, the Okavango Delta, slices sinuously through a large part of Botswana, creating an area of unimaginable natural splendour. Millions of litres of water reach miraculously into this part of the Kalahari Desert, infinitely enriching an environment that supports an incredible diversity of mammal, fish and bird life. To fly over the Delta in a light aircraft is scenically arresting and awe-inspiring for the tracking and viewing of game. It is also, in certain cases, the only way to reach the more remote camps! Some camps are water based, others offer both wet and dry game viewing. Meander slowly through the watery courses in a traditional canoe or Mokoro, or travel over land in an open safari vehicle. Botswana may be best known for its Delta, but the country also boasts two of Africa’s finest game reserves: Moremi, renowned for its huge herds of elephant, buffalo, giraffe and antelope; and Chobe, further north, thought to have the highest concentration of elephants in the world. For a thrilling end to a memorable day, take a sunset cruise at Chobe, and watch hundreds of dusty elephants ponderously cavorting with each other at the river’s edge as they quench their thirst. The Linyanti Region lies within Chobe and here, in the dry season, the concentration of game is such that the visitor will see buffalo by the thousand, followed by sizeable prides of lion. The Savuti Channel, also a part of Chobe, stakes its own unique claim - here the legendary Bushmen left the unique mark of their native paintings on their ancient home. Further Bushman artwork is marvelously preserved in the Makagadikgadi Salt Pans of the Kalahari in the southern part of Botswana. The scenery and game viewing in this remote region is altogether different from the lush waterways and grasslands of the Delta. Travelling in Africa is a sensational journey into experiences you may never have envisaged – at Thompsons Africa, introducing safari goers to the supreme magic of Botswana is a privilege. Our professional team is committed to ensuring your guests’ adventure is a superb one, and that whatever we, at Thompsons Africa can do to make sure they return to explore further, we’ll do it.

ZIMBABWE When you plan your first visit to Zimbabwe, envisage your very first glimpse of the literally breathtaking Victoria Falls - you'll want to be with a tour company which, by their length and depth of experience, knows the people and the region intimately. Thompsons Africa is the clear group of choice. The Thompsons Africa Zimbabwe team on the ground, has, over many years, created, built and sustained strong, warm relationships with the cream of the Zimbabwean hospitality industry, and it’s the nature of those ties on which guests to the country can rely wholeheartedly. From the second you touch down at the airport, you’ll find clearly visible Thompsons Africa representatives not only waiting to meet and greet your guests, but to ensure that they connect with their allocated driver and guide. You can leave it all to them. Nothing to concern yourself with. If there were no other reason to visit Zimbabwe, the legendary Victoria Falls – one of the seven wonders of the world – would be reason enough. But add to that, the warm and welcoming smiles, the bright African sunshine, the wilderness and wildlife, the dynamic African vibe, and more than enough adventure for the most energetic explorer, and you’ll certainly fall in love with Zimbabwe. Bounded north and south by two of southern Africa’s mighty rivers, the Limpopo and the Zambezi, are many first-class game parks and unique historical and cultural sites like the Great Zimbabwe Ruins. And at the end of this rainbow, there’s the majestic Victoria Falls! If you have a heart for the great outdoors, and long to be an integral part of it, Zimbabwe is a magnificent destination. At Victoria Falls – the world’s biggest and most spectacular waterfall – there are untold dramatic (and less so) sports and action activities, and with Thompsons by your side, you’ll be offered a wide range of professionally managed thrills: join the wetset careering down the river on a raft, river-board, jet boat, or canoe; put your best foot forward on a trail… hiking, bird-watching, mountain-biking, or horse-riding. Or for the bravehearts, take a jump off the bridge - the second highest jump in the world – and freefall for 111 metres! You may prefer a bird’s-eye-view of the Falls, by helicopter or microlight. Known aptly as ‘the smoke that thunders’, Victoria Falls is a sight you won’t easily forget, that’s guaranteed. If you prefer to be a spectator, consider a cruise on a river safari boat, perhaps sipping a G&T while the setting sun gilds the river, the skyline burns orange, the elephants jostle for their place at the water’s edge, and the African bush comes alive with the night sounds. Major attractions in Zimbabwe are the prolific wildlife and numerous protected natural areas. The 14 000sq km Hwange National Park tops the bill: with over 100 animal species, 400 bird species, and one of the few remaining elephant sanctuaries on the continent, this outstanding park is understandably the pride and joy of Zimbabwe. With Thompsons Africa, you’ll feel comfortable, confident and carefree as you travel through Zimbabwe. The team is there 24/7…you just have to call.

ZAMBIA Thompsons Africa welcomes you to the heart of Africa Zambia, with its intruiging mix of hotels and colonialstyle tented accommodation, exceptional game viewing in remote wildlife reserves and a seemingly endless range of spirited wet and dry adventures for the young at heart! When your guests land at the airport, hand over any concerns to Thompsons Africa’s experienced travel experts. They’ll be there to meet, greet and welcome them, so you’ll be certain of a smooth transition – it’s what we specialise in, ensuring that your guests take priority, whether it’s introductions to our guide and driver, checking their itinerary, or familiarising them with the currency and customs. Zambia lies on the other side of the mighty Zambezi River from Zimbabwe, and plays host to many of the wildlife and adventure activities taking place on this magnificent river. The Zambezi teems with crocodiles and hippos, so any journey made on the water is certain to encounter them. With Thompsons Africa, all adventure activities are conducted by those with the highest credentials, and loads of experience, so even if you’re not a seasoned adventurer, know that Thompsons Africa and affiliates certainly are. Rest assured, you’re in capable hands. A highlight of a trip to Zambia is the romantic sundowner cruise above Victoria Falls on the multistoried African Queen, viewing crocs and hippos wallowing in pools and lying on the banks. If you are only mildly fit, but wildly adventurous, don’t miss a managed canoe trail on the Zambezi through the Lower Zambezi National Park – a marvellous way to view bird and animal life at a more sedate pace – up close and personal. This beautiful Park is a water wilderness on the edge of the Zambezi River, and game viewing options include a thrilling and informative guided walk, or a game drive in an open safari vehicle. This is Africa, wild and untouched, the destination of choice for those who enjoy less frequented, more remote wilderness areas for game and bird sightings. In the game-rich reserve of Kafue, visitors are almost certain to see lion and buffalo from open 4x4s. If you prefer the bush on foot, it’s a truly wonderful way to discover the smaller inhabitants. For those with an explorer’s heart, who love to take on the elements, Zambia, ‘The Falls’, and the Zambezi River offer the best of the white-knuckle range of dramatic action-packed sports... from bungee jumping to white water rafting and jet boating. The gentler, yet equally intoxicating option, is a microlight flight over ‘The Falls’. Sip your steaming, early morning hot coffee as the sun slowly rises on your game drive, or, towards the end of the day, a perfect G&T from your elevated vantage point over this magnificent river – one or the other (or both), you will be forever captivated by the exquisite beauty of wild Africa.

MOZAMBIQUE Thompsons Africa welcomes you to your dream island or beach holiday: Mozambique and its almost unending coastline offers you that and more. It's the ultimate destination with its perfect stretches of silver-white beach, just for you! It’s no surprise that Mozambique and the islands are a favourite venue for honeymooners, and the Thompsons Africa team makes sure that the romance of the landscape, the sea, the activities and the accommodation is enhanced by superb service and close attention to detail. Laze the time away, swinging on a hammock with palm fronds swaying above you in the gentle breeze. The uncrowded beaches in both directions are lapped by warm, gentle turquoise waters. That’s the life! It’s postcard perfect! Go north to the beach resorts at Vilanculos, or you might prefer the scintillating beauty of one of the islands of the Bazaruto or Quirimba archipelagos. Access to these islands is via Vilanculos and Pemba respectively, direct from Maputo or Johannesburg. Thompsons Africa partners with the finest, most experienced companies in Mocambique, so no matter whether you’re diving or fishing, you’ll be guided by, quite simply, the best of the best. Feeling lazy? Do nothing. Feeling energetic? Go scuba diving, snorkeling, sailing, deep sea/saltwater fly fishing or wind-surfing. Take a trip in a traditional dhow. The enjoyment continues when the sun sinks: the island’s resorts and the city of Maputo sway to their own unique beat. A night out on the town will have you swinging to jazzy, Latin rhythms. Feel the same vibe at a pavement café, as you dine on Mozambique’s renowned fresh seafood - drenched in peri-peri sauce, if you’re very brave. Maputo (formerly Lourenco Marques) still has the charm of an olde world Portuguese harbour city. In the old town, the maze of narrow streets is lined with 19th century buildings. Shop around for exotic spices, nuts and trinkets at the town’s lively markets, especially in the Costa do Sol. For art lovers, the National Art Museum has an intriguing collection of the work of Mozambique’s finest contemporary artists. Visiting Mocambique with Thompsons Africa means we do the work well, you do the holiday wonderfully. Sounds good?

On Safari What You Need to Know For first time visitors to Southern Africa and for those who come again, a safari is a soul-stirring experience. No visit to South or Southern Africa is complete without a safari indulgence. The National Parks in South Africa offer comfortable accommodation within rest camps in every reserve. Each camp is a hub of activity, usually offering a restaurant, swimming pool, and open safari vehicle game drives. They are ideal for those who want to travel on their own terms, at their own pace. Some reserves are so large, that visits to two areas of the same reserve are likely to offer entirely different experiences. Alternatively, choose from a range of South Africa’s luxurious private game reserves or private concessions within the National Parks – here you are truly spoilt for choice. The southern Kruger National Park is a lush and green environment and home to the ‘Big Five’, whereas the St Lucia (iSimangaliso) Wetlands, a World Heritage Site, displays an estuarine and coastal environment of a totally different terrain. Search for leatherback and loggerhead turtles on night beach forays as these amazing animals return each year to lay their eggs and close to St Lucia lies the Hluhluwe-Imfolozi Park that also lays claim to the ‘Big Five’. In the Eastern and Western Cape, the environment changes to scrub grasslands and fynbos where one can view the ‘Big Seven’, whales and great white sharks literally viewed offshore, or by unobtrusive boat excursions. The remote Northern Cape holds an allure all of its own. The desert wildlife safari is highly recommended, not only for the unusual wildlife, but also for the utterly mesmerising desert landscape of red earth, incredible rock formations and wide-open spaces – a memorable treat.

When it comes to wildlife, Zambia is blessed with both diversity and abundance, offering some of the wildest and most remote game areas on the continent. It was in Zambia that the concept of walking safaris was initiated as the best way of enjoying the rich flora and fauna of the country’s 19 National Parks.

Botswana is a true African wilderness, where animals roam freely, and visitors are flown into the remote camps, from which they can explore the area. The unique and fascinating Okavango Delta is an inland waterway with a remarkable environment comprising diverse habitats, with numerous species of mammals, birds and fish.

Zimbabwe enjoys rich wildlife and natural beauty. From the Matopo Hills and their huge boulders, to the ancient Great Zimbabwe ruins going back to Africa’s great ancestry, to a number of national parks and wildlife reserves offering fantastic game viewing. Hwange National Park is Zimbabwe’s largest game reserve and the saltpans and grassy plains support a large concentration of animals.

The Moremi Wildlife Reserve on the eastern fringe of the Delta is a patch straight out of heaven with lily-covered wetlands, grass plains and lush forests, where an incredible variety of animals and birds make their home. In stark contrast to the lush waterways of the Delta is the Makgadikgadi Pans, with mile after mile of shimmering white salt pans, Stone Age ruins, stretches of savannah and pre-historic beaches.

Mana Pools is renowned for its canoe trails and Lake Kariba best known for its abundance of wildlife including hippo, crocodiles, buffalo, rhino, elephant and lion.

133

When Is The Best Time to Visit?

Return to camp at about 10h30 for a hearty brunch at 11h00. Take the afternoon off for a siesta or a dip in the pool.

Both the winter and summer months have their benefits: in winter (May to August) the foliage is less dense and the game more visible as they seek out the scattered waterholes.

Afternoon tea is served at around 15h30, followed by the option of a late afternoon game-viewing experience.

During the summer months the animals have their young, the vegetation is appealingly lush and the late afternoon African storms are spectacular.

Stop for sundowners and snacks, before returning to the camp in time for a three-course dinner at 20h00. (This is a guide only and varies from camp to camp).

A Typical Day on Safari Start the day with an early morning tea-or-coffee wake-up (between 05h00 and 06h00 depending on the season), then meet in the central area for a light meal of cereal, fruit, biscuits and juice.

Visit our Customer Zone Tailor-Made packages section for inspiration.

Set off on your game viewing activity, with a short stop in the wilderness for a snack and coffee.

Adventure is abound, those that dare can swim in the Devil’s Pool, at the edge of Victoria Falls, where the water plummets 350-feet down, providing a pulse-racing dip. For more relaxing adventures, travellers can opt for a leisurely canoe trip or a mesmerising sunset boat cruise.

WHAT MAKES US A LUXURY EXPERIENCE? Award winning Anantara Spa overlooking the Zambezi River. Exclusive access to the Vic Falls during a Ultimate Dining Experience.

BOTSWANA – OKAVANGO DELTA – LUXURY SAFARI LODGE Xigera is Red Carnation Hotels’ love letter to the magic of the African bush. Every aspect is handcrafted to beguile guests’ senses and stir their souls – from the evocative interiors to oneof-a-kind encounters. Transformed by Africa's life-enhancing beauty, it is a story of remarkable renewal. Of rebirth and family legacy, and of the pioneering spirit that drives us to seek out Africa’s wild spaces. The same spirit that inspired this remarkable reimagining, perhaps a complete reinvention, of an Okavango Delta safari. This is Xigera (pronounced ‘kee-jera’), named for the Pied Kingfisher that makes its home amid the watery channels of Botswana’s Moremi Game Reserve. The culmination of a lifelong dream of the Tollman family, drawing on six decades of devotion to unparalleled luxury in service.

But Xigera is equally a line in the sand. A raising of the bar. A bold statement in the realm of luxury safaris, and an Okavango Delta safari experience like no other.

WHAT MAKES US A LUXURY EXPERIENCE? Unique design and curated art. Located in a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Family owned and run. Extraordinary experiences. Sustainability, conservation and community. Locally sourced produce. Generous hospitality. The most luxurious lodge in Africa.
