The rest of the day is free to relax or head over to the mighty "Mosi-oa-Tunya", the "Smoke That Thunders". Optional activities on offer include white water rafting, scenic flights over the falls or simply a walk into the national park to see the cascades.
Please note: we recommend booking pre tour accommodation in Victoria Falls to enjoy all of the exciting activities on offer and pre booking Victoria Falls activities to ensure availability.
Victoria Falls - Chobe National Park (Botswana). The morning of day 2 if free to enjoy optional activities in Victoria Falls. Departing after lunch we cross the border to Botswana and our campsite on the banks of the Chobe River, keeping our eyes peeled for wildlife. Known for its large herds of elephants and a population of rare painted dogs, Chobe is one of Africa's premier wildlife destinations.
The next day, we relax on a sunset game viewing boat cruise on the Chobe River. There is also an optional morning game drive in the Chobe National Park available at an additional cost (own expense).
Chobe National Park (Botswana) - Caprivi Strip (Nambia). Leaving Chobe, we cross into Namibia and make our way to the western side of the narrow Caprivi Strip, our destination is a campsite overlooking the Okavango River. The Caprivi Strip is located along the Zambezi River and is a bird-lover's paradise, with many species attracted to the lush terrain near the river. Huge colonies of Carmine Bee-eaters dart about, whilst hippos bathe in the water and crocodiles sun themselves at the water's edge. Here we have plenty of time to relax and take in the tranquil surroundings.
Caprivi Strip (Nambia) - Okavango Delta. We depart mid-morning, crossing into Botswana to reach our campsite on the Okavango Delta's panhandle. In the afternoon we take a sunset boat excursion through the delta's channels where we hope to spot crocodiles and incredible birdlife. The following day we travel by boat 30 minutes into the delta. We enjoy mokoro and boat excursions in the back channels of the Nxamasire area of the delta and a nature walk on one of the smaller islands in the area, subject to the water levels of the delta.
Okavango Delta - Maun. Our travels take us through Botswana to Maun, the entrance to the Moremi Game Reserve. The afternoon offers an optional one-hour scenic flight over the Okavango Delta (available at your own expense).
Maun - Moremi Game Reserve. Transitioning to open-sided 4x4 vehicles, we journey towards the Khwai region within the Moremi Game Reserve. This beautiful area of complete wilderness, with lush green vegetation and palm trees, is teeming with birdlife and a vast population of wild animals. We enjoy early morning and late afternoon game drives exploring the reserve in open 4x4 safari vehicles. Our private campsite is located inside the park where we set up bush toilets and bush showers.
Moremi Game Reserve - Maun - Nata. Leaving Moremi, we travel back to Maun and switch back into our Overland truck to journey to our campsite in the Nata region, home to the jaw-dropping Makgadikgadi salt pans. We pay a visit to the biodiverse Nata Bird Sanctuary and then it's onto the Makgadikgadi itself during the late afternoon. We'll remain in the area to watch the sunset, a spectacular sight to see over the white salt flats. You may be able to spot flocks of flamingos, zebra, wildebeest, and the occasional ostrich wandering onto the desolate lake bed.
Nata (Botswana) - Hwange National Park. After breakfast, we depart and re-enter Zimbabwe, driving to Hwange National Park. This is Zimbabwe's premier wildlife reserve and our unfenced campsite for the night is located within the private concession. On day 12 we enjoy early morning and late afternoon 4x4 game drives in the private concession bordering the park, which is famous for its large elephant population.
Hwange National Park - Victoria Falls. After breakfast we depart Hwange and travel to Victoria Falls Airport where the tour ends
