This is a trip of a lifetime for those that want to simply get away from it all and experience the natural beauty of Africa’s wilder destinations, while staying in unique, luxury accommodation.

It has been expertly designed by our African travel designers to traverse in the footsteps of Dr David Livingstone, the famous explorer who spent much of his life visiting some of the wilder and untouched areas of Africa, which are largely unchanged today.

Your adventure starts with a brief stopover in Arusha, from where you’ll make your way to Katavi National Park where you’ll fill your days with guided hikes and walking safaris – there is even the option to sleep out under the stars like Dr Livingstone himself. You’ll then spend two nights byt th turquoise waters of Lake Tanganyika and the wild forests of Mahale Mountain.

It’s then time to relax on the white, powdery beaches in Zanzibar, watching the white sails of the dhow boats gliding across the horizon. You’ll then get to experience the crashing Victoria Falls from both the Zimbabwean and Zambian sides before heading to the Lower Zambezi National Park for a final few days of epic wildlife viewing.
