Days 1 - 7: Vic Falls and Botswana Saturday. Welcome to Victoria Falls! We’ll be there to collect you at Victoria Falls Airport. Kicking off at Victoria Falls, we spend day one relaxing in the adrenaline town of Africa! Travelling east, we drive to neighbouring Botswana via Kasane. Interestingly, Kasane sits at the meeting point of four countries - Botswana, Zambia, Namibia and Zimbabwe! It’s also the gateway to the 11,000 sq. km Chobe National Park. We enjoy a boat cruise and can opt for a morning game drive here. Continuing south, we arrive at Maun - gateway to the stunning Okavango Delta. From here, we can opt to embark upon a 3-day excursion into the Delta. Travelling in mokoros (dugout canoes) with local polers, witness the flora and fauna rich wetlands by day and stay at island camps by night. Interspersing the idyllic canoe trip are game walks in the wilderness of the Delta - the world’s largest inland delta. An optional flight over the Delta is also available.

Days 8 - 22: Namibia and South Africa
Back on the road, we drive north and cross the border into Namibia. Replenishing supplies in Rundu, we camp on the banks of the stunning Kavango River. Heading west, we arrive at the spectacular Etosha National Park. The park is situated around the vast Etosha Pan, a haven for bird life. The park’s extensive gravel roads allow us to head out on morning and evening game drives. First class evening game viewing is possible at the floodlit watering holes in-camp. Travelling south through Damaraland - a region of stunning beauty, we visit a cheetah camp and the Spitzkoppe - a popular landmark that rises above the dusty Namib plains. At the old German colonial settlement of Swakopmund, we can opt to go dune quad biking, sand boarding, sky-diving or just chillout on the oceanfront. Further south, at Namib-Naukluft National Park, we can opt to scale Dune 45 - one of the surreal blood red and apricot coloured sand dunes. Continuing southwards, we drive to the imposing Fish River Canyon before arriving at Orange River, where canoeing trips are available. From here, we travel into RSA and south into the wine-growing region of Cederberg. Arrival into Cape Town on day 21 will be late in the afternoon and our expedition ends after breakfast on Saturday - day 22.

PLEASE NOTE: Northbound itinerary will have a night in the Helmringhausen area after Fish River Canyon.
