DAY 1: Livingstone (D)
Victoria Falls or Mosi-oa-Tunya (the Smoke that Thunders) is one of the Seven Natural Wonders of the World and it’s not difficult to see why. At 1700 m wide and around 100 m high, this is the world's largest sheet of falling water and a memorable sight on any African Safari! The Falls can be viewed from the Mosi-oa-Tunya National Park, Zambia and the Victoria Falls National Park, Zimbabwe. Each offer fantastic photo opportunities. The day is spent participating in a myriad of Optional Excursions. Tonight we enjoy a sunset dinner cruise on the mighty Zambezi.
DAY 2: Livingstone (B / D)
Today we have another opportunity to participate in some of the activities we couldn’t fit in yesterday.
OPTIONAL Excursions include elephant back safaris, horse back safaris and a rhino walk. Adrenalin junkies can bungee from the Victoria Falls Bridge connecting Zimbabwe and Zambia or abseil down the Batoka Gorge - neither activity is for the faint hearted! All year round, flights in fixed wing, micro light and ultra light aircraft or helicopters provide an aerial perspective over this magnificent World Heritage Site. White water rafting on the Zambezi is world class. Beside the excitement of the Grade 5 rapids, there are the "floats," where there is time to admire the scenic cliffs and the occasional wildlife on the riverbanks.
DAY 3: Livingstone to Chobe National Park (Botswana) (B / L / D)
After breakfast we cross the border into Botswana and head to Kasane where we set up camp on the banks of the Chobe River. The Chobe River forms a border between Botswana and Namibia and Zambia. Listen out for the resident hippos!
DAY 4: Chobe National Park (B / L / D)
This morning starts with an early morning game drive into Chobe National Park. Chobe is one of Botswana’s premier game parks, renowned its large elephant herds. After our game drive we return to camp for lunch. The late afternoon sees us take a boat cruise along the Chobe River. Elephant, hippo and many bird species including the regal African Fish Eagle and Pied Kingfisher can be viewed from the boat while we watch another glorious African sunset.
DAY 5: Chobe National Park to Ngepi Camp (Namibia) (B / L / D)
Today we travel into Namibia’s Caprivi Strip to our lovely camp site on Kavango River at the start of the Okavango Delta.
The Okavango Delta is a huge expanse of water that has travelled from the Kavango River from the Angolan highlands, and fans out onto the upper Kalahari region to form the largest inland Delta in the World. Studded with exotic islands, the Delta is renowned for its incredible variety of bird life as well as many other animals unique to Southern Africa.
DAY 6: Ngepi Camp (B / L / D)
Today we take a mokoro (traditional dug out canoe) trip down the river. After lunch, we head to the Bwabwata National Park, where we hope to encounter elephant, buffalo, lion and the rare wild dog. We also have the opportunity to learn about the local Tswana culture.
DAY 7: Ngepi Camp (B / L / D)
Today we spend enjoying some of the activities on offer from the camp. Try your hand at the camp’s own ‘Frisbee Golf Course’ or simply spend the day relaxing on the river bank.
DAY 8: Ngepi Camp to Livingstone (B / L / D)
Today we retrace our steps, crossing the Caprivi Strip and travelling through the Chobe area before reaching our camp back to Livingstone. We spend our last evening enjoying the magnificent sunset over the mighty Zambezi.
DAY 9: Livingstone (B)
After breakfast, we exchange addresses and part ways, having just experienced a trip of a lifetime!
