Transfer from Windhoek heading north towards Etosha. Enjoy an afternoon game drive in Etosha after meeting your fellow travellers and tour leader

Day 2&3  Divundu, west Caprivi/Zambezi

journey toward the Kavango River, entering the Kavango- Zambezi Transfrontier Conservation Area. Spanning five countries, including parts of our route through Botswana and Zimbabwe, one of the world’s largest protected areas, supporting diverse ecosystems and a range of wildlife. A boat cruise along the Okavango River in included and there is the chance to join optional game drive

Day 4 Maun

Cross the border into Botswana making out way to Maun and the gateway of the Okavango Delta

Day 5&6 Okavango Delta

Option of scenic flight over Delta before taking part in the next adventure.  Heading out this morning, the next two nights are spent in simple meru style tents/fly camp located in the Khwai area. Take part in a sunset mokoro excursion, relaxing as you are poled along the channels and experiencing nature at close hand. A full day game drive takes us into either the famous Moremi Game Reserve or exploring the surrounding area further. Wildlife abounds among the various habitats of water to savannah and woodland and is sure to be a highlight.

Day 7  Nata

Today’s journey from Khwai passes the Botswana salt pans to Nata and the Salt Pan viewpoint (seasonal).

Day 8 Chobe National Park

Arriving in time for lunch at Kasane, the entry point to Chobe National Park.  Chobe is home to the largest population of elephants in southern Africa but also look out for predators such as lion, and water–loving species such as hippos and crocs. The afternoon ends with a leisurely boat cruise exploring the Chobe National Park along the river and the chance for further wildlife encounters.

Day 9 Victoria Falls

We cross the border into Zimbabwe and travel the short distance to Victoria Falls town, visit the spectacular Victoria Falls, also known by the local name of ’’Mosi–oa Tunja” (the smoke that thunders). Experience and enjoy the mighty Zambezi River and the many optional activities centred around the Falls, or for the more relaxed traveller there are craft markets and coffee shops on offer. David Livingstone, is believed to have been the first European (explorer) to view the Victoria Falls, and wrote: “It has never been seen before by European eyes, but scenes so wonderful must have been gazed upon by angels in their flight– it’s no surprise it has been listed as one of the Natural Wonders of the World

Day 10 End of tour

Your tour finishes after breakfast though we can recommend a further night to give you the chance to enjoy optional activities on offer and an adventure that most suits your style. Whether rafting the mighty Zambezi River or enjoying a flight scenic over the Falls, or more leisurely styled excursions this destination is worth the time spent here and will be ingrained in your memory.

How we rate our safaris

Namibia, Botswana and some other African destinations do not have a set star system that is familiar worldwide to many countries, however, as this is widely used, we have tried to replicate this format to give you an idea of the level of comfort during your safari. For example, a mobile camping tour in Namibia is given 1* and luxury accommodation increasing to 5*. Depending on your tour, there may be a bit of a mix of levels of comfort so please check if you are not sure.

1* or 1–2* Rated Safaris – Camping tours:

These are generally scheduled/small group or self–drive safaris (though a private–guided safari can also fall into this category if you wish to camp); the scheduled trips generally involve client participation where you may be expected to put up/take down your tent and assist with camp chores, dome tents and a ground mattress is supplied. For self–drive options this will often mean roof tents on the vehicle and all camping equipment. There may be the occasional night in simple accommodation but majority of nights are spent camping and most camp sites will have shared ablution facilities. If there is a good mix of both camping and accommodation, this may be rated at 1&2*. These are the most basic level of safaris offered and scheduled safari group sizes vary according to the trip and company – 1* tours are the most affordable option and geared for adventurous travellers who do not mind a bit of discomfort.

Accommodated Safaris

Standard/Mid–range safaris 2–3.5*

Standard accommodation style trips generally have no camping included (though on occasion with a specific activity such as a Delta or Serengeti excursion, or perhaps hiking, a couple of nights may be included). As a general rule this is not the case. With most small group/scheduled tours accommodation is generally 2/3* level – clean and affordable but generally without too many frills; rooms will have en–suite facilities, most will offer air con/fans in the rooms, swimming pools etc (not guaranteed), restaurant/bar facilities, though location can be a little further away from main place of interest this option offers excellent value for money for those seeking a bed each night! We try to indicate on each trip the level of comfort for the particular tour

Superior/Luxury Safaris 3.5–5*

A superior style of accommodation. Most lodges at this level will have air–conditioning or fans in the room though some accommodation establishments are technically “camps” as they may be partially build of canvas – these “camps” are permanent fixtures, generally built on a platform, and will have full and comfortable facilities – the occasional trip may have a more basic night or two involved depending on location to ensure clients can fully appreciate the region they are experiencing. Service is generally very good and most places (outside of towns/cities) will have just a few rooms/chalets. Tours in this bracket include very small group safaris (up to 8 clients), self–drive and private–guided options which are tailored to suit you. The luxury options offer a high standard of accommodation, facilities and service in the region with attention to detail – some “camps” /lodges will have private guides and vehicles, but all accommodation is the best available with personalized service and a quality or unique experience perhaps unavailable elsewhere or in a more moderate price bracket. Tours include fly–in safaris, self–drive and private–guided options.

Please note: this is a guideline only and each destination can vary – some areas in Southern Africa do not always have 5* accommodation (there are limited hotels outside of cities that have the same * grading accommodation) but will be best in the area, have limited volume of rooms and some of the best locations and experiences for clients that is outside of the normal “tourist/travel” route. This can include exclusive conservation regions and emphasis is place on clients having a unique experience rather than offering hairdresser type of facilities that may be found is hotels in cities in other countries. Please also remember that some of these locations can be remote so wifi may not always be available, nor a huge menu range.
