    This 10-night holiday is a seamless journey through Southern Africa, combining one of the world’s most luxurious rail experiences with an indulgent riverside safari finale at one of Africa’s most iconic natural wonders.


    Begin your holiday with an overnight stay at Ivory Manor in Pretoria, an elegant boutique retreat known for its stately décor, peaceful gardens, and warm hospitality—an ideal prelude to the journey ahead. The following day, board the legendary Rovos Rail for a 4-night rail journey to Victoria Falls, travelling in beautifully restored vintage carriages that evoke the golden age of rail travel. As the train journeys north, the scenery shifts through historic towns such as Warmbaths and Nylstroom, across the Tropic of Capricorn and the Limpopo River, with curated off-train experiences along the way. Highlights include an immersive excursion to Matobo National Park, a UNESCO World Heritage Site renowned for its ancient rock art, dramatic granite hills, and sweeping views from Malindidzimu, as well as a guided game drive through Hwange National Park, offering memorable wildlife encounters. Throughout the journey, elegant dining, impeccable service, and leisurely days create an atmosphere of refined indulgence, culminating in a spectacular arrival at Victoria Falls on the Zambezi River.


    The holiday concludes with a 5-night stay at Victoria Falls River Lodge, allowing time to fully embrace this iconic destination at an unhurried pace. Enjoy early morning river cruises, guided wildlife safaris within the private reserve, and multiple visits to the Falls to experience its changing moods. Additional highlights include scenic helicopter flights, cultural encounters, and sunset cruises with flowing champagne. Back at the lodge, your elegant luxury tented suite, complete with a private deck, plunge pool, and uninterrupted views over the Zambezi River, offers the perfect setting for downtime, spa treatments, and leisurely afternoons watching wildlife along the water’s edge. Evenings unfold in refined style, with gourmet dining, fine wines, and cocktails enjoyed beneath star-filled skies—bringing this extraordinary journey to a luxurious and unforgettable close.
