The history of early expeditions in Africa is replete with tales of its storied waterways. Victorian explorers like Speke and Livingstone met unfathomable hardships as they sought the source of the Nile, yet less than a century later, the continent’s major rivers and lakes were mapped if not tamed. We hark back to that exploratory era with a private voyage on Lake Kariba at the heart of this exclusive safari. Aboard an elegant new vessel, we access a vast, wild expanse well off the conventional safari circuit, with a special focus on Zimbabwe. Visit four diverse national parks including Hwange, renowned for its big game, and Botswana's Chobe, a celebrated wildlife haven along an important river that sustains a profusion of species. Plus Victoria Falls!
