3 7 years in the making, we introduce you to Africa; trips that we ve crafted with firsthand knowledge, heritage, stories and secrets. It s the damp scent of acacia trees in the early morning sun, your eyes peeled for the sight of a leopard or lion. It s the taste of G&T sundowners with the hippos, on the banks of the mighty Zambezi River. It s your view of Umhlanga s iconic lighthouse from the five-star Oyster Box Hotel; a place that is sprinkled with our own family stories. It s embracing endless freedom in the Maasai Mara, the Serengeti and the Kalahari Desert. It s coming face-to-face with a lion, visiting local tribes in Namibia and tasting fresh oysters in South Africa s own Garden of Eden. It s realizing how very small you are in this world; in this land of great contrasts and soul-stirring wonders. And, for us, it s being able to share with you our love of Africa our ikhaya, or home. The photos are our own, and from a dear family friend, Mike Myers. The highlights and tips are ours, sprinkled with family memories. Join us, discover the real thing and just live The Good Life.

11 MEET MIKE MYERS Travel photographer MIKE MYERS IS AN ICON OF THE BUSH; A GAME RANGER EXTRAORDINAIRE, HIS KNOWLEDGE IS UNPRECEDENTED. A CLOSE FRIEND OF TRAFALGAR AND THE TOLLMAN FAMILY, WE ARE PROUD TO SHARE HIS EXCLUSIVE PHOTOGRAPHS BOTH ON THE COVER AND THROUGHOUT THIS BROCHURE. EACH IMAGE IS MORE THAN JUST MOMENT OF TIME, EACH IS ACCOMPANIED BY A UNIQUE STORY OF A LAND CLOSE TO HIS HEART. IN HIS OWN WORDS: The opportunity of having access to some of Africa s most spectacular wild areas inspired me to capture the landscape and its wildlife on film. I was able to spend every day in the bush and this equipped me with the most valuable tool a wildlife photographer can have an in depth knowledge of wildlife behavior. Mike shares with us one of his favorite story s from the heart of Africa: HYENA AND ZEBRA AT MOMBO This moment happened pre-sunrise in overcast conditions at Mombo in the Okavango. Terribly poor light conditions, but definitely the kind of off-the-cuff moment that challenges a wildlife photographer. It all happened so fast we first saw the zebra running at full gallop pursued by the clan of hyena, over 0 of them. In the middle of the zebra was a young foal, the target of the hyena and they are brilliant at this kind of hunting. We chased after them as best we could and then suddenly they stopped, forming a protective ring around the foal, and in that moment, the hyena were defeated. A kick from a stallion can break a jaw and once they formed the protective ring with their hind legs to the hyena the battle of wills changed in their favor and stopped the hyena in their tracks. It was all over in five very exciting minutes and indelibly printed on my memory. Front Cover Photo: Leopard by Mike Myers

Cancellation fees will apply except when the change is to an earlier departure date and the guided vacation price is equivalent or greater, in which case a $35 (or more) per person amendment fee will be charged.

Many Optional Experiences are operated by independent third party suppliers, not Trafalgar. These are not part of the vacation package provided by us. Your contract will be with the operator of the experience. We are not responsible for providing of the experience, or anything that happens during the experience. Some experiences involve outdoor activities and/or can be physically demanding. You must make your own decisions about experiences and participate only in activities that suit your physical ability: we suggest that you speak with your medical provider if you have questions about your abilities. We recommend you check whether any insurance you have also includes your participation in adventure activities you may undertake.

Full cancellation charges will apply and no refund will be made. We shall have no obligation to pay compensation or meet any costs or expenses (including but not limited to alternative accommodations and return transportation arrangements) guest may incur as a result of the travel arrangements being terminated.

Itinerary Variations Trafalgar strives to improve guided vacation itineraries, services and features. If improvements can be made, or if circumstances beyond our control make changes necessary, we reserve the right to vary itineraries and to substitute hotels. At certain peak periods multiple departures may operate, sometimes in reverse order; hotels may vary from those stated on the itinerary pages. On guided vacations which include cruises, the ship may be changed for operational reasons. Departures in early and late season are potentially operated in cool weather conditions. As a result, itinerary variations may occur. Certain activities may not be precisely as described or may not be available due to seasonality or weather conditions. We will try to notify you or your Travel Agent of changes. If your enjoyment may be diminished by such limitations, please check with us or your Travel Agent before making a reservation. Trafalgar s Be My Guest experiences are unique and take place in singular locations. In the unlikely event that our local hosts are unable to welcome Trafalgar guests, Trafalgar will attempt to find an alternate experience or a highlight meal will be provided in place of the Be My Guest experience. Holidays & Changes During local or national holidays, certain facilities such as museums, sightseeing trips and shopping may be limited or unavailable. In such instances itinerary changes are made by Trafalgar seeking to reduce inconvenience to guests. Such changes are deemed not to be a major change to the itinerary, and no compensation will be payable to guests. Holidays, closing days and other circumstances may necessitate a change of the day of the week for scheduled regional meals, sightseeing or other activities. If you feel your enjoyment might be diminished by any of these circumstances please check with the respective national tourist office before selecting a specific departure date. Extended stays If you arranged with us to remain at a destination before or after your guided vacation, your stay will be at your sole expense as is the transfer to either the hotel or airport (except in Egypt).
