 African Classic Encounters introduces the unique “Route of the African Sun” travel program, incorporating a collection of world class resorts in sub-Saharan Africa and linking four premier hotels and resorts to create the ultimate journey and epic adventure in South Africa and Zambia. 


The “Route of the African Sun”, offers a fusion of culture, UNESCO world heritage sites, glamour and one of the “Seven Natural Wonders of the World.


·         Deep in the rugged bushveld, in the heart of an ancient volcano, lies the world's most unique resort - The Palace of the Lost City at Sun City

The Sun City Resort has a unique heartbeat and an African rhythm all of its own unlike any other Resort destination in the world. A fantastical blend of dream architecture and world class facilities immerses visitors in the atmosphere of an ancient and exotic civilization.


Boasting two incredible world-class golf courses set against the backdrop of the Pilanesberg mountain-scape in the North West region of South Africa, Sun City’s two, par-72 championship golf courses offer visitors to Southern Africa’s premier resort an exciting and challenging golfing experience.

·         Overlooking the warm Indian Ocean and basking in  the balmy sub-tropical climate of Africa’s natural splendor - Just 27 miles north of Durban - is the tropical paradise of the secluded Zimbali Estate - an oasis spa and an ocean-side golf course completes the lure of Kwa-zulu Natal.
Rich in culture, this region is infused with the dynasty of King Shaka and the pioneering spirit of the early settlers.  Pay homage to the fearless, spear-wielding Zulu impi’s, honor the sophisticated and rampant British soldiers and revere the dedicated heroism of the Boers.

·         Cape Town - warmed by the African sun, the city is dominated by a towering, table-shaped mountain, set on a peninsula of soaring, rocky heights and lush valleys, where two oceans converge- The Indian and Atlantic.


Firmly positioned on the international map, Cape Town offers myriad things to do and places to see, whatever the taste, inclinations or budget.

Located on Cape Town’s Victoria & Alfred Waterfront, this architectural masterpiece captures the essence of the enchanting Cape, the Victorian elegance of yesterday, and the contemporary design of today.
The Table Bay Hotel embodies the  love the locals have for the “Cape”– the uninhibited affection for food and wine, the changing seasons, the quality of light, the diversity, Table Mountain, and the awesome seascape.   All these things are encapsulated at this gracious hotel.

·         The Victoria Falls, one of the seven natural wonders of the world, has been declared a World Heritage Site by UNESCO. This mighty waterfall forms a spectacular backdrop to the Royal Livingstone Resort, along the Zambian banks of the great Zambezi River.


Walk with lions, ride elephants, picnic on the most spectacular island on the edge of the Victoria Falls, enjoy an exhilarating “flight of Angels” in a microlight, dinner cruise on the mighty Zambezi River, or experience the unique “lunar rainbow” at full moon!
