Southern Africa

Southern Africa

This tour of Southern Africa began in Cape Town, South Africa. Here we took a cable car to the top of Table Mountain for a spectacular view of the modern city and the Waterfront, including Robben Island, where Nelson Mandela was held prisoner. Another magnificent view was at Cape Point, the Cape of Good Hope, where the Atlantic and Indian Oceans come together. After touring The Winelands, we continued to the sand dunes of Namibia. Next stop was Chobe National Park in Botswana.
