African Adventure from IWFS.org
We are presently planning the long delayed African Adventure for October 2023. Fly into Johannesburg, transfer to Pretoria and the Main Event will be a 4 day journey on the Iconic Rovos Rail Train from Pretoria to Victoria Falls, with a final Dinner and overnight stay at the iconic Victoria Falls Hotel. There will be time for a short guided walk to view the ‘Falls’ before departing on the next leg of your itinerary or flying back to Johannesburg. (see train details here). Accommodation on the train is mainly in Deluxe suites with a few Pullman suites at lower cost, and a few Royal suites at a premium cost. For guidance the likely cost of the train journey, in Deluxe accomm odation, including all meals, drinks and wine on the train, excursions plus dinner & one night at the Victoria Falls Hotel will be ~£4000/$4800 pp.sharing. depending on inflation and exchange rates.
We envisage two possible 3/4 day pre tour options
- For the Rail enthusiasts, after a dinner with the Cape Town Branch leave the next day on the Rovos Rail Train from Cape Town to Pretoria via Kimberley Diamond mines and Matjiesfontein, then join the Main Event in Pretoria.
- For the Wine buffs, after dinner with the Cape Town Branch, enjoy three days in the Cape winelands, visiting Hermanus for possible whale sightings, wineries and other attractions, then fly Cape Town to Johannesburg and transfer to Pretoria to join the Main Event.
We are thinking of one 3/4 day post tour option
- Cross the Zambezi into Zambia, visiting Livingston on the southern side of the Falls and possible meet up with the Lusaka Branch.
We are working with Cedarberg Travel to put this event together, who would be pleased to help you with your internal flights, transfers and personal itineraries, safaris etc.
