ou will find it as awesome as Dr. Livingstone, we presume, first did in 1855. The icing on the cake? All our safari camps and hotels are Orient Express properties, so you can imagine the level of luxury at each.

Arrive in Johannesburg, South Africa, for a look at Pretoria, should you choose. Then to the Okavango Delta, Botswana, where the unexpected four-legged visitor is most expected. You'll not soon forget your first mokoro ride.

On to Moremi Wildlife Reserve, 3,000 square miles of the Okavango Delta. Habitats from woodland to savanna to lagoon support a dizzying array of species. On game drives, go in search of big cats, elephants, buffalo, and wild dogs. Bring extra film. You'll need it. Khwai River Lodge, home base here, simply cannot be topped. Aside from its perfect location at the edge of a fig forest, there's also a pool, a gym, a spa, and plenty of room to spend quality time with yourself.

Chobe National Park, next. Cape buffalo, hippo, warthog, antelope, and a fantastical cast of birdlife abound. Not to mention the elephants. (They're rather hard to miss.) Team Predator is made up of lion, cheetah, leopard, wild dog, jackal, and hyena. Look for these sly four-legged hunters in the marshlands, along with migrating zebras (who are hoping not to run into the former).

Nature at its most impressive combined with luxurious comfort, or close enough to it, is the hallmark of R. Crusoe's Southern Africa safari.

Our Southern Africa safari is designed with the sophisticated traveler in mind —– you.

Utterly Civilized Cape Town. 4 Days.

Consider a bit more time in the region, specifically four days in Cape Town, South Africa. Historic as it is (think St. George's Cathedral, the Malay Quarter, Milnerton Lighthouse, Simon's Town), Cape Town also offers a burgeoning wine industry (your taste buds will thank you) and Robben Island, where Nelson Mandela lived as a prisoner for far too long. Home for us is the landmark Mount Nelson Hotel, utter elegance along with golf, tennis, and spa possibilities.
