A nine-day journey that links the Cape Winelands, the Rovos Rail experience, and the raw beauty of the Zambezi.
It begins in Franschhoek, where mornings unfold over slow breakfasts at our favourite local spots, and afternoons are spent with a private sommelier on the Wine Tram. You’ll have time for spa treatments, walks in nature, and browsing weekend markets before boarding Rovos Rail — a train known for its quiet charm, fine dining, and vintage details.
From there, the journey carries you north into Zimbabwe with guided visits to Matobo and Hwange National Parks. You’ll spot wildlife, meet local historians, and sleep to the rhythm of the rails.
The final chapter unfolds at Royal Chundu, a secluded lodge on the Zambezi River. Here, you’ll canoe at sunset, visit nearby villages, and take in Victoria Falls from above — by helicopter — as a final gesture.
This is a journey paced with intention and layered with meaning.
