Short of time but want to see South Africa's premier National Park - Kruger, Botswana's beautiful Chobe National Park and indulge at Africa's most famous sight and 'adrenaline pumping' playground - Victoria Falls? Then this short overland tour is for you. It's ideal for those with limited time who want a short tour to see the best of southern Africa's attractions.
DAY 1 - 2
Our tour begins in Johannesburg, the 'City of Gold' one of the most cosmopolitan cities on the African continent. Starting early we leave the city traffic behind and travel through the scenic Mpumalanga province to the Greater Kruger. Kruger is South Africa's best known park and now a part of the much larger Trans Frontiers Peace Parks initiative along with neighbouring Zimbabwe and Mozambique - over 24,000 square kilometres given over to the protection of Africa's wildlife!
The Greater Kruger and Limpopo area contains Africa's 'Big Five' - lion, elephant, buffalo, rhino and leopard as well as giraffe, hippo, various antelope and a huge variety (almost 500 species) of birdlife. We have two nights in the area with a full day spent in the Kruger on games drives and there is an option of a night drive (subject to availability).
DAYS 3 - 5
Leaving the Kruger area we move quickly north passing through rural 'Waterberg' before crossing the border into Botswana. A vast country with relatively small population, Botswana is wealthy in mineral resources - mainly diamonds. We pass through Francistown and the tiny settlement of Nata on the long drive to Kasane in the extreme north of the country. We make camp near Chobe National Park where we can take the game viewing cruise on the Chobe River. Sit back and relax and catch sight of elephant, buffalo and hippo wallow in the river shallows. Chobe is also known for its prolific birdlife; look out for the famous fish eagle as it swoops down on the river to feed.
DAY 6
On the last day of the tour cross into Zambia on the Kazangula Ferry and drive the short distance to Livingstone and our camp on the banks of the Zambezi River. Just downstream is the Victoria Falls - one of the most enduring sights in Africa and the perfect place to end our short African Insight tour.
NB: We recommend you spend a few extra days before or after your tour to fully appreciate the Victoria Falls region.
| NOTES AND IDEAS > > > |
| You can finish this tour in Livingstone, but if you’ve got more time, continue via Kruger National Park and finish in Johannesburg. There is a wealth of things to do in South Africa’s top cities of Cape Town and Johannesburg and make sure you have extra time before and after your tour to explore. Combine this tour with a Johannesburg add-on, a Cape Town City Stay, or be especially daring and book a Cape Town Shark Dive. |
| MUST DO’S > > > |
- Climb a giant sand dune in the Namibia desert
- Get back to nature in a dug-out canoe in the Okavango Delta
- View Africa’s greatest spectacle, the Victoria Falls
- Stay awake all night at an Etosha water hole |
