On this 12-day Namibia and Botswana Safari holiday, you'll get to explore some of the most varied landscapes in Africa. Travelling from west to east, this tour starts in Swakopmund on the coast of Namibia and travels all the way to Victoria Falls on the border of Zimbabwe.

Your starting point on your Namibia Safari is the coastal city of Swakopmund, between the Namib plains and the high central plateau. Adding extra days here will give you the chance to get stuck in to some thrilling activities, such as skydiving, sandboarding and scenic flights above the stark landscape of the mountainous dunes. Our first highlight after departing Swakopmund is the towering rock formations of Spitzkoppe and then the famous rock paintings in the Brandberg Mountains. Next we take you to one of the best places in the world to see wildlife, Etosha National Park. After meeting local tribes, exploring Namibia's capital, Windhoek, and getting to see wild elephants, zebras, and hippos, we take you over the border for a Botswana safari.

The Okavango Delta is teaming with plant, bird and animal life and is the largest inland delta on the entire planet. Its unique positioning makes it ideal for supporting hundreds of species of wild birds and impressive land mammals such as lions, cheetahs, and giraffes. The Delta splits into thousands of smaller waterways, forming swamps, lagoons and small islands that we give you a chance to explore on and off the water. We take several safaris into the Delta and surrounding Moremi and Savuti game reserves, both in traditional mokoro dugout canoes, and with open 4x4 safari vehicles. 

Coming to the end of our trip, we take you to Chobe National Park, famous for its thriving elephant population, before venturing to the stunning Victoria Falls just over the border. These overland adventure safari holidays allow you to experience the diversity and uniqueness of the different regional cultures, discover the abundance of wildlife, and get your adrenaline flowing with exciting optional activities. Accommodation is either camping based or in comfortable hotels, lodges and permanent camps and travel is on a specialist expedition vehicle with large windows, charging points and an experienced tour leader/driver and cook on board.

Note: From 2025 onwards, the visit to the Cape Cross Seal Colony will no longer be included on this tour.

Options

Our tours are designed to include all that you need to enjoy a really special time in the destination you‘re visiting. However, we do also offer some extra options to complement the tour and add some additional sightseeing or activities, or some extra time at either end of the tour.

All accommodation based options (e.g. Single supplements, extra nights, cruise upgrades) should be booked and paid for in advance so that we can make the appropriate arrangements. Other options may either be booked and paid for in advance or while you are on the tour, though we recommend booking in advance to ensure there are no issues with availability.

Many options are priced the same throughout the year, but some may incur single or high season supplements - full details are given on the tour reservation form or on request.

Single room supplement camping (NAOVNB)

From NZ$175*

Single room supplement camping (NAOVNB)

Min numbers: 1 *Based on 1 person/s


This option provides single travellers with a single room in the hotels/guesthouses used during the tour as well as a private single tent. Single travellers happy to share a same-sex twin room and tent do not need to pay the supplement.

This supplement does not apply if you choose the Okavango Delta upgrade on this tour. You should expect to share a tent during that excursion.

 

Single room supplement accommodated (NAOVNB)

From NZ$615*

Single room supplement accommodated (NAOVNB)

Min numbers: 1 *Based on 1 person/s


This option books a single room in all the accommodation throughout the tour. Room shares are not available on this tour, so if you are single traveller then you will need to add this option to your booking.

Note: Single rooms are not generally available for the Okavagano Delta excursion due to the size of the property visited. Instead, accommodation here is on a twin-share basis.
