Itinerary

Day 1 - 5

Victoria Falls

Saturday. Welcome to Victoria Falls! We’ll be there to collect you at Victoria Falls Airport and transfer you to our campsite. Today there will be a pre-departure meeting at 17.00 when you will be your fellow travelers and tour leader. Overnight: Victoria Falls

Victoria Falls

Victoria Falls is one of the most spectacular natural wonders of the world. 1700 meters wide and around 100 meters high, this is the world’s largest sheet of falling water and a memorable sight of any African Safari, and this morning is ours to explore. The afternoon is spent at leisure enjoying the plethora of activities available from white water rafting, horseback safaris, and gorge swings to boat cruises. Overnight: Victoria Falls

    Days 6-7

    Chobe National Park

    Victoria Falls - Chobe - Kasane (Botswana). Leaving Zimbabwe, we cross the border into Botswana and make our way to Kasane, where we have some free time. After lunch, we depart for our Chobe National Park Overnight Mobile excursion – an overnight experience in the wilds of the Chobe National Park - one of Botswana’s premier game parks, renowned for its large elephant herds. Spend the afternoon in search of wildlife while we game drive to our camp within the park where we spend the evening surrounded by the night-time noises of the local wildlife. After our night in the bush, we head out early to continue our search for wildlife, before packing up the camp and heading back to Kasane to partake in some optional activities available, perhaps enjoying a cruise on the Chobe River. Overnight: Chobe (1), Kasane (1) | Breakfast x 2, Lunch x 2, Dinner x 2

    Day 8

    Maun

    Kasane - Maun. Heading out early, we cross the western end of the Chobe National Park area along the main route in a south-westerly direction to the southern reaches of the Okavango Delta and our destination, Maun. Maun is the starting point for travel into the Delta. Overnight: Maun | Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner

    Days 9-10

    Okavango Delta

    Maun - Okavango Delta - Maun. On day 6 we take the included overnight excursion into the Delta. After an early rise, we pack our expedition vehicle and from Maun, we drive north for a couple of hours to reach the mokoro poler’s station. The Delta region is studded with many local villages where many families live traditionally. Some of the villages are very remote and can only be reached by the traditional mode of transport – the Mokoro. Mokoros are dugout canoes maneuvered through the waterways by local guides who “pole” them through the reeds. At the Mokoro station, we meet our ‘Polers’ and pack our supplies before heading out into the waterways. After a couple of hours along the waterways, we arrive at our mobile tented camp situated in the heart of the Okavango. On arrival, you will meet the local staff who will be your host during your stay. A brief introduction to the camp will show you your dome tent with twin beds and a bush en-suite bathroom – a long drop toilet and a bucket shower. Relax in the tent with a cold drink or take a paddle in the Delta in a canoe. The activities at the camp include Mokoro trails and guided walking. The following morning affords us a final opportunity for a game walk before packing up and setting off back to Maun. After our Mokoro ride and vehicle transfer, we arrive back around lunchtime and have the chance to complete our picture of the Okavango Delta by taking an optional scenic flight over The Delta (dependent on weather conditions & availability). 

    Overnight: Okavango Delta | Breakfast x 2, Lunch x 2, Dinner x 2

    Days 11-12

    Ghazni & Windhoek

    Maun - Ghanzi - Windhoek (Namibia). Day 8 will be our last day in Botswana and will be spent in the small village of Ghanzi, home to the San/Bushman. Here we have the opportunity to learn more about their way of life in an optional Bushman Experience, offered at the campsite. We spend the following day driving through small rural towns and soaking up scenic landscapes until we reach Windhoek, Namibia’s capital nestled between the hills. This rather small capital city has many places of historical interest for us to explore this afternoon as we enjoy some free time. Visit a local museum or haggle with vendors at the side street markets. 

    Overnight: Ghanzi (1), Windhoek(1) | Breakfast x 2, Lunch x 2, Dinner x 1
