An Unfiltered Travel Guide & Photo Diary

Highlights of Southern Africa

When you put the word “highlights” in the name of a trip, you better be confident that it lives up to the hype. This trip does. Across 30 epic days, you’ll go round-trip to Cape Town via Zimbabwe, Botswana, and Namibia — a new spin on one of our most popular routes — taking comfortable touring vehicles as well as staying in a mix of hotels and campsites for a well-rounded experience. Wildlife sightings and cultural moments come standard here — everything from searching for the "big five" in national parks to enjoying meals with local families. You’ve got memories made for a lifetime.

Some travelers prefer the consistency of hotels, while others seek a rugged, camping-only adventure. This tour charts a middle path. By blending comfortable hotels and lodges with nights spent camping, it offers a balanced experience. This approach provides both creature comforts and a more immersive connection to Southern Africa's wild landscapes, unlike trips that stick to a single accommodation style.
