Botswana National Parks & Victoria Falls

Small-group safari trip to Victoria Falls and Botswana’s top parks: Chobe, the Okavango Delta and Moremi, plus Khama Rhino Sanctuary and Gaborone.

Days 1–2: Flight to Victoria Falls

Flight from your country to Victoria Falls. If flight times allow, an afternoon cruise on the Zambezi River is possible, followed by return to the accommodation for dinner.

Days 3–4: Victoria Falls

Victoria Falls—one of the largest, widest and wildest waterfalls in the world—also home to abundant wildlife, including elephants, rhinos, lions, leopards and many bird species. Besides walks around the falls, you can visit a crocodile park or (optionally) try activities such as Zambezi rafting, a helicopter flight, or bungee jumping. In the evening we’ll enjoy a traditional African feast with dance and drumming performances, local artists and crafts.

Day 5: Transfer to Kasane + Chobe River cruise

Cross into Botswana and travel to Kasane. In the afternoon, enjoy one of the best boat trips on the Chobe River, which forms a winding border between Botswana and Namibia up to its confluence with the Zambezi. In the evening, there’s a chance to enjoy a drink at sunset while watching vast herds of elephants, as well as hippos and crocodiles basking in the sun.

Day 6: Chobe National Park

Chobe National Park in northeastern Botswana is the country’s second-largest park and features four distinct ecosystems: the Savuti Channel in the west, the Linyanti wetlands in the northwest, the dry interior between them, and the fertile plains and dense forests of Serondela in the northeast. This is one of Africa’s highest wildlife-density areas, especially famous for its 50,000+ elephants. On a morning game drive we can expect to see lions, leopards, hyenas, wild dogs, impala, waterbuck, kudu, zebra, wildebeest, giraffe and warthogs. After breakfast and a short rest, we visit a fishing village and meet local residents.

Zimbabwe & Botswana

​

Overview

When you think of Botswana and Zimbabwe, you may picture countries you’ve heard of but can’t quite place somewhere in southern Africa. In reality, Botswana is one of Africa’s oldest democracies and one of the continent’s most stable economies. Its success is built on diamond reserves, surprisingly extensive cattle farming, and in recent years also on sustainable tourism, including strong protection of wildlife and natural habitats.

Africa is also known for its extraordinary wildlife—animals many of us have only seen in zoos. If you want to see them in their natural environment, watch endless herds of antelope, elephants, hippos, crocodiles, and even rhinos, then a safari in Botswana and Zimbabwe is an excellent choice. These landlocked countries are famous for some of the highest concentrations of wild animals in Africa.

Zimbabwe’s best-known highlight is, of course, Victoria Fall. Botswana’s pride is Chobe National Park, home to a population of more than 50,000 elephants and an exceptionally rich birdlife.

On this journey we visit the most iconic places and observe wildlife as close as possible. At the falls, we’ll be amazed by the immense volume of water plunging more than 100 meters. You’ll have the option to try rafting or kayaking in the rapids, and we’ll enjoy an authentic boat cruise on the Chobe River, which forms a winding border between Botswana and Namibia before meeting the Zambezi. In the Okavango Delta we explore the Moremi area, known for its remarkable variety of wildlife—including the iconic “Big Five”—as well as its rich savannah landscapes. Finally, we visit the unique community-run Khama Rhino Sanctuary, which has helped increase the number of free-roaming rhinos in Africa over the past 30 years.

We travel by minibus in a small group (up to 12 people), staying in lodges and bungalows, with one night under the open sky.
