Day 1. Windhoek, Namibia to Omaheke Region Highlights. Kalahari Bushman Walk, Omaheke Region, Namibia.

We start our adventure with an early departure from Windhoek. Making our way east to a beautiful camp where we meet the San/Bushman and have a guided bush walk for a cultural experience and insight into the way of life in this natural environment.

Day 2. Omaheke Region to Maun, Botswana

On this day we cross into Botswana, home of the Okavango Delta, Kalahari Desert and Chobe National Park. Botswana has more elephants than any other country along with an abundance of other wildlife living within its amazing landscapes.

From here we prepare for our excursion into the Delta the next day. If time permits, we have the opportunity to take an optional scenic flight over the Okavango Delta, either this afternoon, or on day 4 when we return from our Delta excursion.

Day 3. Maun to Okavango Delta Highlights. Okavango Delta, Botswana.

Leaving the campsite in Maun, we begin our excursion into the Okavango Delta on an open 4x4 vehicle to the mokoro station. Here we will be introduced to the local Tswana Polers who will be guiding us on this expedition. We travel by mokoro (dugout canoe) to our tented camp from where we can explore the area on a walking safari.

We enjoy the afternoon wilderness experience and then delight in listening to the sounds of the African night - a truly unforgettable experience!

Day 4. Okavango Delta to Maun

This morning we take an easy paced mokoro ride out of the Okavango Delta back to the polers station from where we will drive back to Maun, our overnight stop. We aim to get back to camp around lunch time to allow for the opportunity to enjoy an optional scenic flight over this spectacular UNESCO world heritage site. Alternatively the afternoon can be spent at leisure at the camp’s pool.

Day 5. Maun to Elephant Sands, Nata Highlights. Elephant Sands, Nata, Botswana.

Today, we make our way towards Nata, travelling through a wide open wildlife corridor between the Nxai and the Makgadikgadi Pans.

Along the way we stop to see one of Africa’s most iconic tree-types - the Baobab, also locally known as 'upside down trees' - and arrive at the Elephant Sands Lodge during the late afternoon.

The camp has no fences so all wildlife can roam freely from one waterhole to another and we can expect to see a variety of antelope and other wildlife during our stay.

Day 6. Elephant Sands, Nata to Kasane Highlights. Chobe Fish Eagle Cruise, Botswana. Chobe National Park, Botswana.

Our adventure safari continues to Kasane in the northern corner of Botswana and gateway to Chobe National Park.

This is the third largest park in the country and also the most diverse where we will board a ‘Fish Eagle’ cruise on the Chobe River – a great opportunity to view hippo and perhaps elephant or buffalo coming down to the river banks to bathe and drink.

Day 7. Kasane to Livingstone, Zambia Highlights. Chobe National Park Game Drive, Botswana. Victoria Falls - Mosi oa Tunya National Park, Zambia.

This morning we head out to explore the Chobe National Park on an open vehicle game drive.

Moving on from Kasane, we take a ferry across the confluence of the Chobe and Zambezi Rivers into Zambia. We visit the Victoria Falls, one of the largest waterfalls on earth and try to take in the immensity of one of nature’s Wonders of the World.

We set up camp at the Waterfront campsite on the banks of the Zambezi, just a few kilometres from the Victoria Falls and the small town of Livingstone.

Day 8. Livingstone Highlights. Livingstone Activities, Zambia.

Our tour ends after breakfast, but we highly recommend staying a few more days in the area in order to explore the Victoria Falls area to the full.
