Get ready for the adventure of a lifetime! Iconic airline Pan American World Airways, better known as Pan Am, is launching an exclusive “Sky to Safari” experience in June 2027. This isn’t just any trip; it’s a 19-day luxury expedition designed for just 12 guests, taking them across four breathtaking countries in Southern Africa.
A Journey Through Four Countries
In partnership with SafariScapes, a specialist in South African adventures, Pan Am is offering a meticulously planned itinerary. The journey begins in New York, the airline’s former flagship hub, and kicks off with a three-day stay in Tanzania’s Central Serengeti. Imagine waking up to the sounds of the wild in one of the most famous wildlife reserves on earth!
From Tanzania, guests will be flown to Victoria Falls in Zimbabwe for a two-night immersion in the awe-inspiring natural wonder. The adventure continues to Botswana’s Okavango Delta for a significant six-night stay. This segment promises unparalleled wildlife encounters with twice-daily safari excursions via boat or game drive, plus optional helicopter rides, guided walks, and traditional mokoro canoe trips.
Luxury and Exploration Combined
The safari portion concludes with a brief overnight stay in Johannesburg, South Africa. From there, travelers will board the legendary Rovos Rail for a three-day, luxe journey to Cape Town. This iconic train ride offers a glimpse into the golden age of travel, blending elegance with stunning scenery.
The final three days in Cape Town are packed with curated experiences, including a full-day tour of the Cape Peninsula, an exploration of the renowned Cape Winelands, and a grand farewell dinner. Throughout the trip, guests will be accompanied by four SafariScapes hosts and a dedicated photographer and videographer to capture every moment.
