Victoria Falls, Luxe Train and Safari

Experience the most luxurious train in Africa and possibly the world, the iconic Victoria Falls at near-peak water flow and then a wildlife safari that you've been dreaming about since your childhood.

This wonderful itinerary is designed especially for passengers sailing from Cape Town on Cunard's Queen Mary 2 on 7th April 2023.

You will visit the world-famous Victoria Falls when they are nearly at their peak flow.  Up to 12,000 tons of water plunges every second over the edge and down 300 feet into the slot canyon below.

Then visit one of our favourite safari companies at their Khulu Bush Camp, named for the man who got them started.  "Khulu" means grandfather.  Enjoy incredible game-viewing drives in Hwange, regarded as one of the best parks in Africa.

Then you're off to Cape Town, where you'll stay in two luxurious but very different properties.  Cape Town, the Mother City always surprises.
