Southern Africa group tour - camping or lodge safari tour

With Johannesburg already in the rearview mirror, our Africa adventure trip takes us towards the border with Botswana. After we complete the formalities at the border crossing, we continue our journey on the Trans-Kalahari Highway (a long-distance road that connects Namibia, Botswana, and South Africa. While it leads tourists through breathtaking landscapes, it is also an important economic trade route) which ultimately takes us to our overnight stop in Palapye. Discover the beauty of the northwestern province on our exciting tour through South Africa and Botswana. Included meals: lunch, dinner

The next 2 nights we will be separated from our truck. Please pack your clothes for this time, as well as the essentials, into a small extra bag. We will have a short time on site to repack. Today we enter the Okavango Delta with its "endless" expanses. The first major safari of this Africa trip awaits us, where we will experience the impressive and picturesque landscape, as well as the fascinating and diverse wildlife up close. The delta is home to 4 of the Big Five, crocodiles, hippos, and over 400 bird species. From Maun, we will go to the Khwai Conservation Area, a wildlife reserve on the edge of the delta. It is community-based managed and operates sustainable tourism. The number of tourists that can stay in the reserve at any one time is limited, which helps to minimize the ecological footprint. Our guide will provide us with information about what to expect during our afternoon game drive. Included meals: breakfast, lunch, dinner

After an early breakfast, we leave Khwai and first return to our truck in Maun. Our adventure journey continues, as there are many more adventures and images waiting that can never be erased from our memory until the end of our days. Today's drive takes us through the Botswana salt pans near Nata. The Nata saline is one of the largest salt pans in the world and stretches over hundreds of square kilometers. The flat landscape during the dry season features a white and glittering salt crust. In the rainy season, the landscape transforms into small lakes and marshy areas. Here you can often encounter springboks. Included meals: breakfast, lunch, dinner

With countless and indescribable memories from safari and nature in our luggage, we leave the Chobe National Park after a hearty breakfast. Our journey through Africa in the southern part of the Dark Continent continues towards the border with Zimbabwe. We reach the city of Victoria Falls, right on the outskirts of which are the world-famous and majestic Victoria Falls. The Brit David Livingstone discovered the falls in the 19th century as the first European and named them after the then queen of England, Victoria. They are one of the most spectacular natural wonders of the world and a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The roar of the water creates a cloud of water above the falls, which rises up to 400 meters high and can be seen from afar depending on the weather. After arrival, the rest of the day is at leisure. The city and the falls offer numerous activities for every desire and taste in addition to admiring the view. Included meals: Breakfast, lunch. Optional activities: Visit to the Victoria Falls, sunset boat trip on the Zambezi, bungee jump, helicopter flights, white-water rafting

After breakfast, we leave Victoria Falls on our African tour and cross the border back to Botswana. The route takes us south to Francistown. The city is centrally located and is the 2nd largest city in the country. Francistown offers a dynamic mix of history and modern development. Included meals: Breakfast, Dinner

Please note that during the upcoming travel days (while visiting the Kruger National Park), the order of activities may change without prior notice and a certain level of flexibility is required to experience a small part of the 147 species of mammals / 500 species of birds / 100 species of reptiles and of course the BIG five. This is done to maximize opportunities for wildlife observation and experiences. On certain departures, it may occur that a different vehicle type is used either at the beginning or at the end of the tour. This means that on Day 11 (from Johannesburg to the Greater Kruger National Park) or on Day 14 (Kruger National Park to Johannesburg), your trip may be conducted with shuttle vehicles (minivans) to meet and/or depart from the Nomad truck in the Greater Kruger National Park. If your selected date includes such a shuttle ride, we will inform you accordingly. Enjoy the flexibility and the unique wildlife observations on our safari through the Kruger National Park. After breakfast, we leave the bustling metropolis of Johannesburg again and set off eastward. A highlight of this adventure through southern Africa awaits us at the end of this impressive and unforgettable Africa trip. We are going on safari in the Kruger National Park, which is, as previously mentioned, the largest national park in Africa. On the way, we pass the coal fields of the Mpumalanga province, where coal is mined. This region is of great importance for both the country’s energy production and from an economic perspective (as a lot of coal is exported). Included meals: breakfast, lunch, dinner

This morning we set off along the picturesque Panorama Route, where we will visit God's Window (a viewpoint with a spectacular view of lush forests, deep gorges, and wide plains), Bourke's Luck Potholes (cylindrical holes that are said to have been formed by water erosion over millennia), and the Three Rondavels (three massive rocks that resemble traditional African round huts and are located in the Blyde River). Enjoy the breathtaking views on our journey along the Panorama Route through South Africa. Included meals: breakfast, lunch, dinner
