The Journey

Desert and Delta Safari in Botswana

This namibia botswana safari runs 12 days from Swakopmund to Victoria Falls, covering three countries and southern Africa's top wildlife areas. The desert delta safari botswana experience peaks at Khwai Conservation Area, with mokoro excursions on the Okavango Delta and 4x4 game drives at dusk. The group travels in an overland truck with an English-speaking guide, all park fees included. Accommodation is available as a botswana lodge safari or camping option, with meals at the truck. From etosha safari namibia game drives to Savuti and the Chobe River boat cruise, every stage adds a new landscape before the tour ends at Victoria Falls.

Namibia

The namibia safari tour opens on the Namibian coast and tracks inland through desert landscapes, ancient rock art sites, and the wildlife-rich plains of Etosha National Park.

Days 1–5
Erlebnis-Reisen Afrika

Swakopmund – Spitzkoppe to Brandberg

The namibia safari tour begins in Swakopmund, where the group meets before heading inland toward the granite massif of Spitzkoppe, rising 700 meters above the desert floor. A local guide leads a walk past San rock paintings that record thousands of years of desert life. The route then continues to the Brandberg area for the overnight stop.

Meals: Lunch, Dinner. Included: Spitzkoppe visit with local guide.

Erlebnis-Reisen Afrika

Brandberg – White Lady Track

An early morning hike at the Brandberg — Namibia's highest peak — reaches the White Lady rock painting, estimated to be 2,000 years old. The trail follows the rocky Tsisab gorge through rugged terrain. After the hike, the group drives to the Kamanjab area. An optional afternoon visit to a Himba cultural center is available for those interested in learning about traditional Himba life.

Meals: Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner.

Erlebnis-Reisen Afrika

Etosha National Park – First Drive

An early start takes the group north into Etosha National Park, one of Africa's premier wildlife reserves. The afternoon arrival includes the first etosha safari namibia game drive through the park on the way to camp, scanning the open plains and waterholes for elephant, lion, and black rhino.

Meals: Breakfast, Lunch snack, Dinner. Included: Afternoon game drive in the truck.

Erlebnis-Reisen Afrika

Etosha National Park – Full Day

A second full day on the etosha national park tour allows the group to explore further along the Etosha Pan. Each circuit through the reserve offers different sightings — zebra crossings, lion prides at waterholes, and oryx moving across the salt pan edge. No two game drives here produce the same result.

Meals: Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner. Included: Full-day game drive in the truck.

Erlebnis-Reisen Afrika

Etosha – Windhoek

The group leaves Etosha and drives south to Windhoek, Namibia's capital. After arrival, there is time for a short guided walk through the city center and a look at the colonial-era architecture and markets. Accommodation sits midway between the city and the international airport, convenient for those with early connections.

Meals: Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner. Included: Guided walk through Windhoek.

Botswana

The botswana safari tour leg crosses into the Kalahari before reaching the Okavango Delta and then the Chobe River — three very different ecosystems within one country.

Days 6–10
Erlebnis-Reisen Afrika

Namibia to Botswana – Ghanzi Kalahari

Crossing into Botswana, the route reaches the semi-arid Kalahari Desert around Ghanzi. The Kalahari stretches across 900,000 square kilometers and has sustained San communities for generations. This evening a San cultural program covers traditional song, dance, and storytelling around the fire — an insight into one of the world's oldest surviving cultures.

Meals: Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner. Included: San tribal dance evening. Optional: Walk with the San the following morning.

Our tour guide is happy to answer any questions about the day-by-day route, stops, and details.

Erlebnis-Reisen Afrika

Ghanzi – Khwai Conservation Area

The group drives to Maun, gateway to the Okavango Delta safari region. An optional scenic flight over the delta channels is available on arrival. Smaller 4x4 safari vehicles then transfer everyone to the Khwai Conservation Area, bordering the Moremi Game Reserve. The evening briefing covers the mokoro plan for the following morning.

Meals: Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner. Optional: Helicopter flight over the Okavango Delta. Note: pack a light bag for two nights — the overland truck waits in Maun.

Erlebnis-Reisen Afrika

Khwai – Okavango Delta Mokoro

The okavango delta safari experience starts at the poling station, where local polers guide dugout mokoros through narrow, reed-lined channels opening into quiet lagoons. Elephant, giraffe, impala, and zebra are commonly spotted from the water. After lunch back at camp, open 4x4 vehicles head out for an afternoon game drive through the Khwai bush, one of Botswana's finest wildlife corridors.

Meals: Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner. Included: Morning mokoro excursion and afternoon safari drive.

Erlebnis-Reisen Afrika

Savuti Game Reserve – Full Day

An all-day push through the Savuti Game Reserve — bordering the Okavango Delta to the west and Chobe National Park to the east — is one of the route's most demanding and rewarding stages. Open 4x4 vehicles set off at first light across dense sand tracks. Savuti holds some of the highest wildlife concentrations in southern Africa, with wetlands, grasslands, and savanna woodland providing varied habitat. The group reaches the banks of the Chobe River and the town of Kasane by afternoon.

Meals: Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner. Included: Full-day Savuti safari in 4x4 vehicles. Stock up on snacks and water in Maun — no supply points until Kasane.

Erlebnis-Reisen Afrika

Chobe National Park Safari & Cruise

The chobe national park safari day offers two ways to see wildlife. An optional early morning game drive in open vehicles covers the park's dry-land areas before returning to camp for lunch. In the afternoon, the whole group boards a boat for the included Chobe River cruise — elephants gather in large numbers along the banks at this hour, alongside hippos and a wide range of water birds.

Meals: Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner. Included: Chobe River boat cruise. Optional: Morning Chobe National Park game drive.

Zimbabwe

The zimbabwe safari tour leg ends at Victoria Falls, where the Zambezi River drops into the Batoka Gorge — a fitting close to a three-country overland route.

Days 11–12
Erlebnis-Reisen Afrika

Kasane – Victoria Falls, Zimbabwe

Crossing the border into Zimbabwe, the short drive reaches Victoria Falls — known locally as 'Mosi-oa Tunya' (the smoke that thunders). The afternoon is free to walk the footpaths along the gorge rim and feel the spray from the Zambezi River dropping into the Batoka Gorge below. Optional activities include a bungee jump, gorge swing, and sunset boat cruise on the river.

Meals: Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner. Optional: Victoria Falls National Park entry, bungee jump, gorge swing, helicopter flight, sunset cruise.

Erlebnis-Reisen Afrika

Victoria Falls – Tour End

After breakfast, the victoria falls safari tour concludes in the town of Victoria Falls. The full day is free to spend as you choose — white-water rafting on the Zambezi, a helicopter flight over the falls, or a relaxed browse through the craft markets. Departures are flexible today, making it easy to extend your stay or connect to onward flights from Victoria Falls Airport.

Meals: Breakfast. Optional: Zambezi sunset cruise, bungee jump, helicopter flight, white-water rafting.
