The Queen’s Diamond Jubilee celebrations are about to commence! Down here in the commonwealth outpost of South Africa, we didn’t want to feel left out from the Jubilee celebrations. So in order to pay our own homage to the anniversary, we’ve compiled a special Jubilee Safari Package. A holiday that evokes memories of the glorious days of the British Empire and captures the quintessential colonial splendor of Africa!

We’ve teamed up with Orient Express to bring you this exclusive special offer unique to Rhino Africa. The Jubilee Safari Special combines Cape Town, the majestic Victoria Falls and the Okavango Delta – saving you over 20%!

The tour starts in Johannesburg. From there you will fly to Cape Town and spend 3 nights in the landmark Mount Nelson Hotel exploring South Africa’s Mother City before your flight from Cape Town to Maun in Botswana – the gateway to the Okavango Delta and Savute.

In Botswana you will spend 2 nights at each of the 3 magnificent Orient Express lodges – Khwai River Lodge, Eagle Island Camp and Savute Elephant Camp. The package includes your light aircraft transfers within the Delta and a flight transfer from the Delta to Kasane in Botswana.

From Kasane you will be taken via road transfer to the exquisite Victoria Falls Hotel on the Zimbabwean side of the Victoria Falls where you will spend 2 magical nights before flying back to Johannesburg.

Detailed Itinerary

3 Nights Cape Town – The Mount Nelson

Opened in 1899, this pink-walled mansion is the grand dame of Cape Town hotels and one of few old British Colonial hotels still welcoming guests through its doors of colonial grandeur. The Nellie, as it’s famously known, has seen the likes of 19th century European high society, Winston Churchill, Agatha Christie, Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, Nelson Mandela and Martin Luther King Jr. Think acres of sweeping lawns and rosebushes, stone fountains, grandiose rooms with high ceilings, antique furnishings and canopied beds, as well as afternoon high tea, pre-dinner champagne and decadent treatments in the immaculate Librisa Spa.

6 Nights Okavango Delta – Khwai River Lodge/Eagle Island Camp/Savute Elephant Camp

Deck up in pith helmet and khakis and make like Ernest Hemingway and Out in Africa in the wilderness of the Okavango Delta. This is where the idea of the romantic safari was born. Stay at one of three lodges.

The Khwai River Lodge is on the edge of a forest overlooking the vast floodplains of the Moremi Wildlife Reserve. Eagle Island Lodge is the ultimate luxury safari paradise, situated on remote Xaxaba island among a web of waterways and lush vegetation, overlooking a lagoon that attracts a variety of big game and exotic birds. Savute Elephant Camp is in the heart of the Chobe National Park, sometimes referred to as the elephant capital of the world.

2 Nights Victoria Falls – Victoria Falls Hotel

Established in 1904, The Victoria Falls Hotel is set in The Victoria Falls National Park with its own private path to the Victoria Falls. The royals would have it no other way. The corridors creak with the past glories of Empire and the suites and rooms are delicately furnished in Edwardian-style. The Livingstone Room specialises in elegant dinners and dancing, giving you the chance to don the collared shirts and cocktail dresses, ladies and gentlemen.

Did You Know: High Tea stems back to one Anna Duchess of Bedford in 1840 when she decided that eight hours was more than one woman should reasonably be expected to wait for her dinner, and instructed her butler to bring tea, bread and butter to her boudoir at 5pm. Soon she invited her friends to join in and so began the ritual of guests taking Afternoon Tea on Stanley’s Terrace.
