Day 1 Namibia, Windhoek To Ghanzi, Botswana

We take a scenic drive to the Buitepos border, where we enter Botswana. Namibian dollars cannot be used in Botswana so there will also be a chance to exchange left over money. Later we arrive at our lodge in Ghanzi, and this evening we experience some traditional tribal dancing by the San community.

Meals: Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner

Day 2 / 3 / 4 Maun And Okavango Delta

Maun is well known as the gateway to the Okavango Delta, the world’s largest inland delta. The Okavango River has no outlet to the sea, so it empties into the sands of the Kalahari Desert, irrigating some 15,000 square km’s. We spend one night in Maun and prepare for this excursion. Small planes transport us over this amazing area to Gunn’s Camp for the next 2 nights. Animals are often spotted from the lodge, but we also take a nature walk and, if the water level allows, a mokoro (traditional canoe) trip. The animals in the Delta are not as familiar with people so the game viewing is superb.

Meals: Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner

Day 5 Gweta

A second scenic air-transfer will return us to Maun and the truck. This afternoon we drive to Gweta where our unique evening accommodation is set amongst the majestic Baobab trees indigenous to this area.

Meals: Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner

Day 6 Chobe National Park

We drive north to Kasane, where we stay on the banks of the Chobe River near to the park entrance. We take a sunset river cruise on the Chobe River where animals such as hippos, buffalo and elephant are plentiful and best viewed from the water. The Chobe National Park is Botswana’s second largest National Park and well known for its large population of migratory Elephants. Optional Activities : Chobe Game Drive (next morning).

Meals: Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner

Day 7 Zimbabwe - Victoria Falls

After an optional early morning game drive in Chobe, we cross into Zimbabwe where we are briefed on all the activities available here. Then we enter the much anticipated Victoria Falls National Park where we will experience the might of the great Zambezi River. Victoria Falls, known as The Smoke that Thunders, is one of the seven natural wonders of the world and the widest sheet of falling water in the world. The popular optional sunset cruise includes dinner and drinks. Optional Activities: Chobe Game Drive, Zambezi Sunset Cruise, Dinner in local restaurant.

Meals: Breakfast, Lunch
