Your accommodations, the Train on the Bridge is a first-of-its-kind luxury accommodation in a re-envisioned train stationed on the historically rich Selati Bridge above the Sabie River in Kruger National Park. The name has its origins in the history of Chief Warrior Shalati, who lived near this river in the region of Skukuza and ruled over the Tebula tribe.

Kruger Shalati pays homage to the guests who explored the park and Skukuza Camp nearly 100 years ago as this is where the first visits to the iconic park were allowed in the early 1920s. Back then the train would park overnight in the exact spot where Kruger Shalati is positioned.

Along the way you may see any of the Big Five which includes lion, leopard, rhino, elephant, and buffalo, along with giraffes, zebras, wildebeest, hippos, various antelope, monkeys and a myriad of birds.

PLEASE NOTE:

•This PRE-Cruise Program begins in Johannesburg and therefore guests need to fly into Johannesburg’s O.R. Tambo International Airport.

•The following program details are for reference purposes only and subject to change based on final flight details.

•Any guests travelling with Portable Oxygen Concentrators (POC) or CPAP breathing machines should read further below for airline stipulations with regards to bringing this equipment on tour.

•Please review the Documents section carefully for required Visas

DAY 1

Upon arrival at Johannesburg’s O.R. Tambo International Airport you will be met by a local representative and accompanied on the short walk to your hotel which is located within the airport terminal.

Check in time is at 2:00pm. Should you have an early arriving flight you may wish to book an extra night to guarantee room availability upon arrival, or you may choose to store luggage at Reception and begin to enjoy the facilities of the hotel.

DAY 2

After breakfast and check out, meet your local escort, and walk back to the terminal to check in for a flight to the Kasane Airport in Botswana.

As guests may only bring one piece of checked luggage per person, excess luggage (1 piece per person, 20kg/44 lbs.) will be shipped via courier to Cape Town where you will be re-united with it on Day 5. Make sure to pack accordingly and bring any medications and cruise documents with you.

Upon arriving at the Kasane Airport, proceed through Customs and Immigration.

You will be met outside of Customs and transferred by road to your lodge. Check-in will be followed by free time. Depending on arrival time, you may enjoy afternoon tea before departing on your first afternoon game drive which takes place in open 4x4 safari vehicles with a qualified ranger.

Chobe is home to the world's largest remaining population of African elephants and this ultra-exclusive lodge – the only one in the area with a full-service spa – sits on a hill high above the Chobe River affording unparalleled panoramic views over the well-tended gardens to the islands and floodplains beyond, stretching as far as Namibia.

On your game drive, be on the lookout for elephant, lion, leopard, and buffalo to name a few. Chobe is also home to two antelope that aren’t encountered anywhere else in Botswana, the puku and the Chobe bushbuck. Declared a national park in 1967, Chobe was the first established in Botswana and now covers more than 4,500 square miles of dry savannah, floodplains, and teak woodlands that are ideal animal habitats.

After what is sure to be an amazing game drive, return to the lodge for dinner.

NOTE: Activities and meals are subject to your flight time.

DAY 3

After an early-morning wake-up call and coffee or tea in the lobby, embark on a morning game drive with your safari ranger.

Returning from your morning safari, a full breakfast will be served after which you will have free time to do as you wish at the lodge. Perhaps take a nap, enjoy a service at the spa (own account), sign up for a photographic safari or some fishing (own account and subject to availability), or simply relax and enjoy your surroundings.

Following lunch, enjoy a sunset safari into the bush and then return to the lodge for dinner.

DAY 4

After an early-morning wake-up call, enjoy one final game drive and breakfast at the lodge and then gather your belongings for check out.

Our local representatives will meet and transfer you across the border between Botswana and Zimbabwe to Victoria falls. The drive time is approximately 1.5 hours and guests will need to take care of border formalities. Visas are required.

Travellers to Zimbabwe may either complete arrival forms online before arrival or pay in person at the border.

On arrival at your hotel, enjoy lunch followed by check-in formalities.

Later in the afternoon, transfer to the Zambezi River for a lovely sunset cruise. Enjoy a beverage while watching the sunset and possibly spotting some animals swimming or along the shoreline.

Back at your hotel, enjoy a Riverside dining experience which offers an authentic African barbecue-style dinner surrounded by the wilderness of the Zambezi National Park.

DAY 5

After breakfast and check out, transfer to the Victoria Falls Rainforest where you will have a guided walk.

Located on the border between Zambia and Zimbabwe, Victoria Falls is the world’s largest curtain of falling water, based on the falls’ one-mile width and height of 360 feet. It’s an amazing spectacle to watch as the Zambezi River roars over the edge of a basalt gorge, forming what locals call Mosi-Oa-Tunya or “the smoke that thunders.” In November 1885, after seeing the falls for the first time, Scottish explorer and Doctor David Livingstone re-named them after Queen Victoria.

A path along the edge of the rainforest provides visitors with an unparalleled series of views of the falls but be prepared to get wet from the tremendous spray!

NOTE: The cobblestone walkways within the rainforest can be slippery if wet and some spots are at a gradient. Proper walking shoes that have a good grip should be worn, and guests should wear appropriate clothing to get wet. Due to the amount of walking and terrain, this program is not suited for guests who have walking difficulty or who utilize a wheelchair or scooter. Walking distance will be 2-4km (1.24 – 2.48 miles).

After your tour of the Falls, you will transfer to the Victoria Falls Airport for a flight to Cape Town.

Upon arrival at Cape Town International Airport, a local tour guide will meet and transfer you to your hotel which is located in the Victoria and Alfred Waterfront.

Lunch and dinner are on your own today.

Guests will be reunited with any excess luggage that was stored in Johannesburg and shipped to Cape Town.

DAY 6

Enjoy at leisurely breakfast at the hotel. At the designated check out time, you will be met and transferred to the port of Cape Town for embarkation. Enjoy a brief city orientation drive en route to the pier.

•Bring warm clothing, as the evenings and early mornings are chilly.

•The water levels at Victoria Falls are season dependent. ‘Low Water’ runs between August and January and is at its lowest between November and early December.

DAY 1:

Upon arrival at the Cape Town International Airport, you will be met and transferred by private vehicle to your hotel.

Check in time is at 2:00pm. Should you have an early arriving flight you may wish to book an extra night to guarantee room availability upon arrival, or you may choose to store luggage at Reception and begin to enjoy the facilities of the hotel.

The remainder of the day and evening is at your leisure. Dinner at own leisure.

DAY 2

Following an early breakfast at your hotel, depart on a 2.5-hour road transfer to Aquila Game Reserve.

Aquila Private Game Reserve is a popular safari destination located just under two hours from Cape Town, offering a convenient and immersive wildlife experience in the Western Cape.

Enjoy a welcome drink on arrival, followed by a 4 x 4 game drive, with an experienced nature guide.

Your guide will take you through Aquila’s 10 000 hectare wildlife reserve, sharing inside stories and facts about the natural Karoo environment.

Thereafter, sit down to a delicious buffet lunch including two local beverages.

After some free time to browse through the well-stocked curio shop, depart on your return transfer to Cape Town.

The remainder of the day will be at your leisure and dinner is on your own.

DAY 3

Spend today at leisure, exploring the beautiful ‘Mother City’ at your own pace. Consider a ferry trip to Robben Island (pre-bookings are essential), an open Red Top bus trip to numerous destinations, a hike up Lion’s Head, wine tasting in the Winelands, or simply visiting numerous attractive beaches i.e. Camps Bay, Blouberg Beach or similar.

This evening, enjoy an African Themed Dinner at GOLD Restaurant including optional inter-active drumming.

GOLD Restaurant in Cape Town is a vibrant, immersive dining experience that combines African cuisine with cultural storytelling, music, and dance.

DAY 4

Following breakfast at the hotel, settle any incidentals and check out before meeting your guide.

No visit to Cape Town is complete without a trip up Table Mountain, the city’s most celebrated landmark.

Table Mountain gets its name from the flat-topped central massif of the mountain, which, viewed from the city, is surrounded by Devil’s Peak on the left, Lion’s Head on the right and Signal Hill in the foreground. They form a sort of amphitheater that encloses the city center and some of the older suburbs. Other earlier suburbs are on either side of the chain of mountains, which run like a spine through the Cape Peninsula, from Table Mountain to Cape Point – the cape from which Cape Town gets its name.

Depart from your hotel and travel up Kloof Nek, the saddle between Table Mountain and Lions Head, to the lower cableway station. Ascend from the Valley Station (363 m) to the Mountain Station (1 060 m) in a Swiss engineered Rotair cable car. The journey from the base to the summit takes just under 4 minutes and one can enjoy spectacular views, as the floor of the car rotates 360 degrees during the ascent and descent.

From the summit, the natural protected area stretching from Signal Hill to Cape Point has been managed under the custodianship of the National Parks Board. This area has one of the highest concentrations of endemic plant and animal species in any area of its size, containing a staggering 2 285 plant species – more than the entire U.K.

Upon descent, reboard your vehicle and transfer to the port for embarkation via a brief city orientation tour of Cape Town passing through Adderley Street and along the Foreshore.

Note: The cable car ride to the top of Table Mountain is weather dependent. If not possible due to high winds a stop will be made at a viewing area near the cable car base for photos.

Make sure to pack accordingly and bring any medications and cruise documents with you.

Upon arriving in the Victoria Falls airport, another local representative will meet and assist you with your transfer to the Palm River Hotel where a light lunch (time permitting) will be enjoyed followed by check-in and some free time to explore the hotel and its grounds.

Discover an oasis of elegance and tranquillity at the Palm River Hotel, where sophisticated luxury blends seamlessly with the warmth and comfort of home. Set along the scenic banks of the legendary Zambezi River and enveloped by towering indigenous trees, this exceptional hotel offers panoramic, uninterrupted views while ensuring your privacy and serenity are always preserved.

Ideally located just 4 kilometres from the majestic Victoria Falls, Palm River Hotel puts you at the threshold of one of the world’s most awe-inspiring natural wonders. On clear, peaceful days, you can experience the distant roar and misty spray of the falls right from your room—a truly unforgettable backdrop to your stay. With its perfect balance of central convenience and secluded tranquillity, the Palm River Hotel welcomes you to indulge in the ultimate escape.

Later in the afternoon, transfer to the Zambezi River and embark on a sunset cruise (shared departure). Depending on the size of the group the boat may either be a covered single level sightseeing boat or a larger boat with multiple levels. Enjoy a beverage from this vantage point whilst watching the sunset and possibly sighting hippos, crocodiles, various birdlife and maybe even an elephant or two along the banks of the river.

Following the cruise, and weather permitting, a Riverside Dining Experience offers authentic African-style barbeque dining within an unparalleled setting on the edge of the Zambezi River. The diverse menu includes traditional Zimbabwean specialities, fresh salads and flavour-filled side options. The experience also includes traditional entertainment. Alternatively, during inclement weather, guests will dine at the hotel.

DAY 3

Following breakfast at the hotel, meet our local representative who will journey with you on this day tour to Chobe, Botswana (border crossing).

Visiting Chobe National Park is a journey into the heart of Botswana’s wildlife wonderland – Chobe National Park is well known for its large herds of elephant that frequent the Chobe River daily. Apart from the herds of elephants, Chobe has a lot more to offer, the park has lion, leopard and many other renowned wildlife.

This evening, enjoy dinner at your hotel before retiring for the evening.

DAY 4

After breakfast and check-out, you will be met and transferred to the Victoria Falls Rainforest where you will have a guided walk.

Located on the border between Zambia and Zimbabwe, Victoria Falls is the world’s largest curtain of falling water, based on the falls’ one-mile width and height of 360 feet. It’s an amazing spectacle to watch as the Zambezi River roars over the edge of a basalt gorge, forming what locals call Mosi-Oa-Tunya or “the smoke that thunders.” In November 1885, after seeing the falls for the first time, Scottish explorer and Doctor David Livingstone re-named them after Queen Victoria.

A path along the edge of the rainforest provides visitors with an unparalleled series of views of the falls but be prepared to get wet from the tremendous spray!

After your tour of the Falls, transfer to the Victoria Falls airport for your flight to Cape Town via Johannesburg. On arrival in Cape Town, you will be met and transferred to your hotel for the evening. Note: flights are not accompanied.

Your hotel is located nearby to the Victoria And Alfred Waterfront where you will find a wide array of shopping and dining options within steps of the hotel.

Guests will be reunited with any excess luggage that was stored in Johannesburg and shipped to Cape Town.

NOTE: the cobblestone walkways within the rainforest can be slippery if wet and some spots are at a gradient. Proper walking shoes that have a good grip should be worn, and guests should wear appropriate clothing to get wet. Due to the amount of walking and terrain, this program is not suited for guests who have walking difficulty or who utilize a wheelchair or scooter. Walking distance will be 2-4km (1.24 – 2.48 miles).

DAY 5

Following a leisurely breakfast, complete check-out formalities and take a short drive to Lower Table Mountain Road where you will ascend the mountain by cable card and enjoy a bird’s eye view of the ‘Mother City’ from the top of Table Mountain –a bucket list site for many!

Re-board your vehicle and transfer to the harbour for embarkation.

Note: Ascending Table Mountain by cable car is weather dependent.
