The Alumni Traveler

Featured Journey: South Africa
Featured Journey

South Africa
September 13-24, 2004
South Africa truly is a "world in one country," from the wine estates and beautiful Cape Dutch architecture of Cape Town, to the famous Kruger Park private game reserves, where the big five of Africa - elephant, lion, buffalo, leopard and rhino roam. It's our privilege to lead you on safari in one of the deluxe camps, then take you to one of the world's wonders, Victoria Falls.

Join us for an exciting and educational tour. Highlights include four nights in Cape Town, with time to visit the Castle of Good Hope, Table Mountain and Hout Bay and to watch the waters swirl below the cliffs of the Cape of Good Hope as the Atlantic and Indian Oceans mingle. You'll see the penguin colony at Boulders Beach, Kirstenbosch National Botanical Gardens, and Stellenbosch, the historic heart of the country's wine region. South Africa's fertile valleys are world-famous for their crisp white and classic red wines. The area is also a treasury of rustic beauty and sprawling estates shaded by giant oak trees. Fly to Kruger National Park to stay for two nights at a private game reserve. Back through Johannesburg and continue to Victoria Falls. If you can't bear to go home, we will be happy to arrange individual extensions, including an opportunity to visit Mauritius. South Africa is the trip of a lifetime!
