SOUTH AFRICA - SEEKING THE ULTIMATE
THRILL TIMELINE:
Day 1
Cape Town
Arrive Cape Town, transferring to the Cape Grace Hotel,
where you meet your guide for your initial briefing, covering
both supersonic jet flights and shark diving.
Day 2
Cape Town / Killarney Race Track
Train with a racing professional, then take the wheel of a A
1-type racing car to test your skill (and competitive edge) on
the Grand Prix designated course at speeds up to 120 miles per
hour.
Day 3
Cape Town / Thunder City Hangar
Head to Thunder City Hangar to suit up, attend a briefing
and board a British-built Hunter Hawker fighter jet. You and the
pilot plan the ride of a lifetime: supersonic climbs to 50,000
feet, pulling Gs, views of the earth's expanse, mountain rolls
and/or low passes over the coast.
Day 4
Cape Town / Gansbaai / Shark Alley
Head to Gansbaai, where you set sail for a close encounter
with sharks. Upon arrival you are briefed on safety and fitted
with a wetsuit and life vest. Your destination is a region
abundant with the great white shark, the ocean's most formidable
and notorious predator. Dive into a shark-proof cage to watch
these powerful creatures swimming within inches of you. Later,
sail through Shark Alley to view the seals that are the sharks'
primary food source, and then to Dyer Island to observe African
penguin and other sea birds.
Days 5 - 6
Cape Town / Namib Desert, Namibia
Fly to Walvis Bay, continuing by vehicle to the Desert
Explorers Base. Review all-terrain vehicle safety, then take off
across the sands on an ATV, skimming the high dunes like a
surfer on the waves. Overnight at a mobile tented camp.
Days 7 - 9
Namib Desert / Etosha
Fly to Onguma Tree Tops Camp, situated within the Onguma
Game Reserve and adjacent to Etosha National Park. Discover the
park's wildlife on daily game drives; the Etosha salt pan draws
thousands of flamingo during the rainy season, and elephant and
black rhino inhabit its verdant border.
Day 10
Onguma Tree Tops Camp / Windhoek / Johannesburg
Following a final game drive, depart by light aircraft to
Windhoek, then proceed to Johannesburg for your flight home.
