This tour takes in two of the highlights of Southern Africa – Cape Town and Victoria Falls. In between are Botswana’s wilderness areas and wide open spaces that cry out for exploration – the Kalahari Desert, the Okavango Delta, and Chobe National Park.

Day 1 - 2, Cape Town
Explore one of the most beautiful cities in the world and enjoy all that Cape Town has to offer. You may choose to visit the Cape of Good Hope Nature Reserve, Cape Point and the penguin colony at Boulder’s Beach, and a visit to the top of Table Mountain on the cable car is a Cape Town must do.

Day 3 – 5, Cederberg, Augrabies National Park
From Cape Town we head north via the beautiful Cederberg Mountains to the Augrabies Falls National Park. We go on the hunt for black rhino, eland, gemsbok and klipspringer antelope on a game drive, and view the spectacular Augrabies Falls, a thunderous 60m drop of white water as the mighty Gariep (Orange) River plunges over a granite gorge.

Day 6 - 8, Botswana, Mabuasehube Game Reserve
Mabuasehube Game reserve is part of one of the largest transfrontier conservation areas in Africa, covering a mammoth 57 000 sq km of the Kalahari Desert. We camp in the wild for three nights and explore on game drives in search of the large Kalahari lion that roam this area.

Day 9 - 10, Maun
Exiting the remote southern Kalahari, we travel north through remote san settlements of the southern Kalagadi area, home to the largest concentration of San people in all Botswana. We camp overnight for the next two nights at a community managed campsite and experience San culture and their intriguing way of life.

Day 11 - 15, Okavango Delta, Moremi Game Reserve
Explore the pristine wilderness of the Okavango Delta with its reed filled lagoons and tranquil waterways by foot and boat, and with luck may spot some of the delta’s unusual wildlife and prolific birdlife. The Okavango River begins life in Angola, and when it reaches Botswana divides repeatedly into an intricate floodplain of thousands of channels that spread to form an inland delta – the only one of its kind in the world. Moremi is a spectacular wildlife sanctuary within the delta, and as it has no fences, allows unobstructed seasonal movement of game, and is a paradise for birds, hooved animals and predators alike.

Day 16 - 17, Chobe National Park
From Moremi we take the back roads through the Savute Channel into Chobe National Park, and explore the Savute marsh, famous for its large prides of lion and abundant hyena. We reach the Chobe River where there is the opportunity to go on a river cruise to view the animals coming down for an evening drink.

Day 18 – 20, Livingstone
From Chobe we cross into Zambia and end the tour in Livingstone next to the thunderous Victoria Falls. Here you can choose from a number of adventure activities based around the falls and the Bakota Gorge, and to see the mighty spectacle of the Victoria Falls from the many strategic pathways and look-out points is the perfect end to our safari.
