This is a region also the home to the famed Big Five – lion, leopard, buffalo, rhino and elephant – and with shore excursions included throughout you can expect private game reserve safaris for only the finest in wildlife watching. Return each day to three-course, wine-paired dinners alongside sundowners at elegant bars, indulgent spa treatments and much more besides.


Day 1

UK to Cape Town

Begin your holiday in style with included airport lounge access before boarding your overnight flight to Cape Town, arriving on day two.


Day 2

Embark Seven Seas Voyager

On arrival in Cape Town, transfer to your ship, ready for your voyage through Southern Africa. Settle into your luxuriously appointed, butler-served suite then, after a day of relaxation – and perhaps some time exploring the sights – you'll enjoy the first of your gourmet dinners onboard. There's everything from modern French fare at Chartreuse – think tender veal rack of loin with grape chutney – to filet mignon and côte de boeuf at steakhouse Prime 7. Then, head to one of the many bars for a post-dinner digestif – an apt way to toast to the start of your adventure.
