High Rollers: Sativas & Safari Tour

Oct 18, 2024 to Oct 29, 2024
Cape Town & Johannesburg South Africa
 

Welcome home, sis, to one of the greatest continents on planet Earth. Welcome to Mother Africa. South Africa to be specific.

From its vibrant city life and decadent food to its bustling natural resources and national parks, this lush African paradise is one of the world’s most breathtaking locations. 

While one trip surely isn’t enough to sprinkle your Black girl magic all over South Africa, your first time there needs to cover some major bases. But where do you start?

 
Let's start with the special features:
 
  • The beauty and sophistication of the Cape, with its world-class Wine lands and the world's most desirable city, Cape Town
  • Zimbabwe's top attraction viewing the breath-taking Victoria Falls.
  • Safari by riverboat and in open vehicles in Botswana Chobe National Park, home to Africa's largest concentration of elephants.
  • Guided walking safari through the tropical, spray-drenched rain forest on the very edge of Victoria Falls.
  • All the best views of this World Heritage Site from the spectacular Zimbabwean vantage points.
  • Sunset cruise on the mighty Zambezi River with its hippos and crocodiles, and riverbank game viewing.
 
 
Can you imagine tracking the Big 5 or sailing the Zambezi River infused?
 
Has trying some authentic South African "dagga" been on your to-do list? 
Well, your wait is over.
 
We also know that having the money and time to travel all the way to South Africa is a once-in-a-lifetime experience for most.
And, you would not want to ruin that by having too much of a good time.
 
So we've cultivated this itinerary with the perfect balance of cannabis and culture throughout your tour.
 
Deposits and convenient monthly payments are offered to help you join this once in a lifetime opportunity.

  • All travelers are responsible to check if a visa is required for all countries on their itinerary.
  • SOUTH AFRICA - Upon entry, passport holders are required to have at least one, entirely blank (unstamped) visa page (i.e. one side of such a page, not front and back thereof) in their passport, each time entry is sought into South Africa. This includes re-entry from Swaziland. These pages are in addition to the endorsement/amendment pages at the back of the passport. South African government regulations prohibit airlines from boarding passengers without the required blank visa page.

Americans entering Zimbabwe for tourism can expect to pay $30 USD for a single-entry visa and $45 for a double-entry visa.

Passengers traveling on the 16/17 Day Classic South Africa with Victoria Falls & Botswana will be required to purchase a double-entry visa. All information and rates are subject to change without notice. Non-U.S. Citizens should check with the appropriate foreign consular representative.
  • All prices are based on the rates of exchange in effect at the time of price quotation. In the event that the US dollar devalues, Front Row Travels® reserves the right to increase prices accordingly. Your final invoice will reflect increases resulting from currency devaluation.

    The CDC recommends you to visit your doctor (ideally, 4-6 weeks) before your trip to get vaccines or medicines you may need.
