Our first Africa Safari sold out before it even made it to the website. Because of that, we have opened a second and final departure for May 9 to 25, 2027.
This is one of those trips people talk about doing someday. Four countries in one journey, incredible wildlife, and some of the most beautiful scenery on the planet.
We begin in Cape Town, a city that truly lives up to the hype. Set between the ocean and Table Mountain, it is easily one of the most stunning cities in the world. From there, the experience shifts into something completely different as you head into the heart of Africa.
You will spend four nights at the intimate Kaza Lodge along the Zambezi River, followed by four nights aboard the Zimbabwean Dream, a small and elegant ship designed for just 16 guests. This is a very personal and immersive way to experience Africa, not a large group tour.
Along the way, you will explore South Africa, Namibia, Zimbabwe, and Botswana, with unforgettable wildlife encounters and landscapes that feel untouched. You will also stand before Victoria Falls, one of the most powerful waterfalls on earth.
With only 16 total spots, this trip will fill quickly.
If Africa has been on your list, this is the trip to do it right. https://www.defineddestinations.com/2ndgrand-southern-africa-safari

There is still space available on our Iceland adventure November 8 - 14, 2026!

If Iceland has been on your list, this is a truly magical trip to be part of. We would love to share it with you. https://www.defineddestinations.com/iceland2026
