This comprehensive 20-day tour covers the well worn route from Cape Town to Victoria Falls, crossing South Africa, Namibia and Botswana, and ending in Zimbabwe. It's a truly grand African safari.
Leaving Cape Town, we head north through the Cederberg Mountain Region en route to Namibia. Crossing the border into Namibia our first stop is the Fish River Canyon where we take a scenic hike along the rim in order to gain some perspective as to just how large this natural phenomenon is. We continue to the Namib-Naukluft Park, which is one of Namibia's geographic gems and at 50,000km2, is one of the largest parks in Africa. There are massive sand dunes in the Sossusvlei desert area as well as the remarkable landscape.
Next we stop at Swakopmund the adventure capital of Namibia, where you can enjoy many fun options such as skydiving, sand boarding and quad biking. We continue on to the Etosha National Park, which boasts an amazing abundance of wildlife making it one of Southern Africa's finest and most important game reserves. We spend plenty of time wildlife viewing before moving onto Namibia's capital city Windhoek. After a short tour of the city we wave goodbye to Namibia and cross the border into Botswana.
Our first stop is at Ghanzi for a cultural evening of tribal song and dance from the San community. We then spend time exploring the Okavango Delta. The Okavango Delta is the world's largest inland delta, a labyrinth of lagoons, lakes and hidden channels covering 17,000km2. We have a full day in the Greater Moremi Game Reserve section of the Delta with game drives and boat trips on board Mokoro's, traditonal poled boats used in the Delta. We'll then enjoy a full day's game drive through the Savuti Game Reserve before arriving at the second largest wildlife reserve in Botswana. Here in the Chobe National Park we take to boats again on the look out for the park's famous elephant population. Futher optional game drives wrap up our activities before we head over to the border where we find ourselves in Zimbabwe and our final destination, the one and only Victoria Falls, crossroads of Africa.
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.
