Family Adventure in Southern Africa

Marvelous Cape Town is a breathtaking harbor city perched on Africa’s southwestern tip, where old and new converge in history, architecture and cultural pursuits. Afro-chic decor graces the city’s trendy restaurants and bars, while art and design studios imbue the atmosphere with a hip, creative vibe, all overlooked by towering, flat-topped Table Mountain.

Ascend Table Mountain by cable car this morning — ahead of the crowds — for a treasure hunt along paths frequented by mountain wildlife. Back at sea level, glide along the Atlantic Seaboard by scooter or bike to the Victoria & Albert Waterfront. This afternoon, enjoy a private educational center experience at the Two Oceans Aquarium, where marine specimens and conservation insights come into focus. During tonight’s welcome dinner, observe remarkable marine life on display at the spectacular Shark Exhibit. Meals: Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner

Explore the Cape Peninsula, beginning with a stop in Kalk Bay Harbour, where colorful buildings cluster around a working waterfront as fishermen unload the day’s catch, seals play nearby and dolphins or whales occasionally pass offshore. Continue to the famed penguin colony before choosing between a guided conservation walk or stable sea kayaking. Both experiences lead to Worldway’s Pop-Up Beach Club for lunch, beach games and optional snorkeling in the kelp forest alongside youth development guides who were trained through a marine-science and conservation program supported by Worldway Philanthropy. Continue to Cape Point for a short hike, where you may encounter ostriches, baboons and even the rare Cape mountain zebra. Finish the day with a stop at Noordhoek Farm Village en route back to Cape Town to rest and refuel. Meals: Breakfast, Lunch

Fly to Victoria Falls, Zimbabwe, and settle into your lodge in time for lunch. This evening, set sail on a magical sunset cruise, nibbling freshly prepared canapés while soaking in views of the Zambezi River. On shore, a delicious three-course dinner at the Waterfront awaits you and your loved ones. Meals: Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner

Set out early this morning for a private walking tour of Victoria Falls. Meet a Member of the Monde Community, visiting a local homestead and their school, supported by Worldway Philanthropy. Eat lunch at a local restaurant with a sweeping view of the falls. Follow up with an elephant encounter that’s a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to connect with these magnificent creatures in a natural and intimate setting. Meals: Breakfast, Lunch

Your morning is free to relax or join activities such as bush walks, bird watching or visiting a game viewing hide. Then fly to Johannesburg and settle into your hotel, with the evening at leisure. Younger guests enjoy thoughtfully arranged activities designed to keep them engaged while adults take advantage of the property’s amenities. Meals: Breakfast

Fly by chartered air to Marakele National Park, where you settle into your lodge for lunch and afternoon tea before departing on your first game drive. You may sight giraffes, antelope, an aardvark or even a white rhino wandering the grassy plain. Meals: Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner

Surrounded by pristine mountains, plains and rivers, your tranquil lodge offers opportunities to safari in a deeper, more richly rewarding way, inside Marakele National Park. Revel in exclusive access unavailable to day visitors, pausing longer for sightings, encountering fewer vehicles and basking in the freedom to follow animal movements across varied terrain and ecosystems. Meals: Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner

Head out on morning and afternoon game drives, searching for the park’s diverse wildlife, including leopards that hunt in rocky outcrops and endangered rhinos that graze the grasslands. In between, take part in a rhino conservation experience, accompanying the park’s veterinary crew as they dart a wild rhino and, once it is safely sleeping, fit it with a tracking collar, notch its ear, collect samples and microchip its horn. Don’t miss this extraordinary opportunity to witness a vital rhino conservation procedure firsthand, as few visitors ever do. Later, join a local guide for a bush walk that helps you identify animal tracks and scents. For a different perspective, opt for a water safari, floating quietly past hippos and water birds. Meals: Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner

Savor a final day of game drives, seeking out elephants, cheetahs, honey badgers and zebras, while younger explorers take part in engaging activities at the lodge’s Safari Club Eco-Garden, including scavenger hunts and baking with the chef. Come nightfall, join a field guide for stargazing under sparkling African skies. Share the most memorable moments of your bush adventure over tonight’s farewell dinner. Meals: Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner

After one last morning game drive, fly to Johannesburg, where you enjoy access to the Premier Lounge, compliments of Worldway, before boarding your flight home. Meals: Breakfast
