Hi {{FirstName | default("there")}},
As winter begins to wind down, peak travel season is fast approaching. With Spring and Summer around the corner, warmer weather brings a massive influx of international bookings. Once peak season hits, these highly discounted local rates disappear entirely.
✨ Featured Journeys: Luxury Rail Escapes
If you’ve been waiting for the perfect moment to cross these iconic routes off your bucket list, now is the time to plan your escape. Highly requested Deluxe Lengthways double suites (featuring expansive 189x189 cm double beds) are available on select departures, offering unparalleled comfort as you journey across Southern Africa.
These magnificent luxury experiences deliver unforgettable memories. The 3-night Victoria Falls journey features an incredible game drive at The Hide in Hwange National Park, routing across one of the world's longest straight railway stretches (114km), crossing the legendary Limpopo River, and traversing the Tropic of Capricorn. Meanwhile, the Durban Safari treats you to breathtaking views of the Valley of a Thousand Hills and thrilling game drives in Big Five reserves.
These regional allocations cannot be held without confirmation. Review the live specials board and full luxury inclusions below to lock in your 5-star escape.
