Wild Encounters on the Water—An EPIC Safari Experience

Go beyond the game drives with a Chobe River safari—where the wildlife comes to you. Featured on Globus Splendors of South Africa & Victoria Falls (QS) tour, this experience lets travelers drift through one of Africa’s richest ecosystems, watching elephants wade, hippos bask, and crocodiles glide beneath the surface—all from the comfort of a scenic river cruise.

And that’s just the beginning. With six open-air game drives in private reserves near Kruger National Park, a visit to Cape Town’s vibrant Bo-Kaap, and an up-close look at the thundering Victoria Falls, this tour delivers big adventure with small-group exclusivity.

No planning. No navigating. No missing out. Just epic encounters of the best kind.

A new way to safari—seamless, stress-free, and spectacular.

A couple of the main things we learned about the different river cruise lines are the varying vibes onboard and what the experiences are like.
While we had many experience highlights, the Tauck experience I got to attend was truly top notch. We were whisked away to Palais Pallavicini, a private palace in Vienna where we were greeted with champagne and an amazing trio. After the welcome, we had white glove dinner service in the ballroom with more music including singing (tear inducing version of Edelweiss) and ballet dancing.
This Tauck experience is a perfect example of the unexpected unique offerings on many River cruises.

Wrapped up the River Cruise Expo yesterday after 4 days of living on AmaBella, touring all 15 of the river boats, lunches/dinners & numerous training sessions on the boats, happy hours and party after party. We.are.tired! But it was an incredible week spent my Nexion family and many more travel advisors & suppliers.
