Wildlife, waterfalls & the winelands

This is southern Africa in a nutshell, from the tumult of Victoria Falls and the serenity of Lake Kariba to the pristine landscapes of Hwange National Park and South Africa’s magnificent Winelands. Take in Zimbabwe’s Hwange National Park, renowned for its elephant and African-painted dog populations, then enjoy a blissful three-night cruise on Lake Kariba, famed for its striking red sunsets.
