Day 8 — Walvis Bay → Johannesburg
Born following the discovery of gold in 1886, today Johannesburg is a metropolis of eight million inhabitants and the economic engine of Africa, but it has never been the seat of political power. During apartheid, it was the center of resistance for black people and now it welcomes a multitude of ethnicities: Zulu and Sotho-speaking blacks, English and Afrikaans-speaking whites, immigrants from all over Africa, Indians, Chinese, Greeks, Portuguese, and Lebanese. The extremes of wealth and poverty are evident, but entire neighborhoods are being revitalized and the energy of the city is apparent.

Day 11 — Chobe National Park → Victoria Falls
Le Cascate Victoria si trovano lungo il fiume Zambezi, al confine tra lo Zambia e lo Zimbabwe. Sono alte circa 108 metri e larghe fino a 1,7 km, il che le rende le cascate più grandi del mondo per larghezza. L'acqua che scorre sopra le cascate crea un rumore assordante e produce un'imponente colonna di nebbia che può essere vista da chilometri di distanza. Le Cascate Victoria sono state dichiarate Patrimonio dell'Umanità dall'UNESCO.
