ADVENTURE-TOURS · BOTSWANA
Botswana safari meets the power of Victoria Falls Zimbabwe on this seven-day group adventure through southern Africa's most distinctive landscapes.
The Journey
A botswana safari begins in Maun, the gateway to the Okavango Delta. After the crew briefing, the route enters Khwai for an okavango delta safari by mokoro through reed channels. A full day in the moremi game reserve safari follows, covering lion, leopard, and wild dog country. The group then travels to Chobe National Park for an afternoon chobe river boat safari with close elephant views on the river. The final two days cross into Zimbabwe for victoria falls zimbabwe — nearly 2 km wide and 108 m tall, the world's largest waterfall.
Botswana
Five days through the core of a botswana safari: Okavango Delta mokoro channels, Moremi game drives, Makgadikgadi salt pans, and a Chobe river boat safari with close elephant encounters.
Your botswana safari begins in Maun, the small town at the southern edge of the Okavango Delta often called the tourism capital of Botswana. Arrive in the afternoon, check in to your lodge, and meet your guide and fellow group members. The evening briefing covers the route, logistics, and what to expect on the botswana group tour ahead. Meals: Dinner.
Early risers can take an optional scenic flight over the Okavango Delta before departure — a 15,000 sq km mosaic of channels and islands best appreciated from the air. After breakfast, the group transfers by smaller 4x4 safari vehicles from Maun into the Khwai Conservation Area for the start of the okavango delta safari. In the afternoon, local polers guide you through the delta's reed channels by mokoro, placing you at water level among hippos, crocodiles, and water birds. Pack lightly for the next two nights, as your main luggage stays in Maun. Meals: Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner.
A full day in the Moremi Game Reserve is the heart of the moremi game reserve safari. Covering 5,000 sq km within the Okavango Delta, Moremi protects diverse habitats — open floodplains, mopane woodland, and seasonally flooded grassland — that support lion, leopard, painted wolf, and large elephant herds. The group spends the day in 4x4 vehicles working through the reserve, with the highest probability of wildlife sightings in the early morning hours. This evening you return to Khwai camp. Meals: Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner.
After a final morning in Khwai, the group returns by vehicle to Maun to collect luggage, then continues northeast toward Nata and the Elephant Sands Lodge. The route crosses the edge of the Makgadikgadi Salt Pans — one of the largest salt pan systems on Earth and a striking feature of botswana wildlife safari country that changes completely between wet and dry seasons. At Elephant Sands, elephants regularly visit the natural waterhole meters from your chalet. Dinner is served with views of the bush. Meals: Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner.
Questions about the tour itinerary?
Our tour guide is happy to answer any questions about the day-by-day route, stops, and details.
The morning starts with an optional guided bushwalk from Nata, giving a ground-level view of animal tracks and vegetation before the drive west to Kasane. After lunch, the group enters Chobe National Park — 11,700 sq km and home to the largest elephant concentration in Africa. The afternoon session is a chobe river boat safari on the Chobe River, where elephant families wade in to drink and swim in the late afternoon light. Buffalo, hippo, and crocodile are common sightings from the water. Meals: Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner.
Zimbabwe
Two days at victoria falls zimbabwe for walking tours of the falls, the Zambezi gorge, and a range of optional activities from white-water rafting to helicopter flights.
After breakfast, the group crosses the border into Zimbabwe and drives the short distance to Victoria Falls. The falls measure nearly 2 km wide and 108 m tall, making this the largest waterfall on Earth by combined width and height — the local Kololo name, Mosi-oa-Tunya, means “the smoke that thunders.” Guided walking paths on the Zimbabwean bank cover the full length of the drop, and in high-water season the spray soaks the forest paths completely. Optional afternoon activities include white-water rafting below the Batoka Gorge, bungee jumping from the Victoria Falls Bridge, and sunset river cruises. Meals: Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner.
The final day of the victoria falls tour is yours to use before the tour concludes after breakfast. The victoria falls safari activity desk can assist with helicopter flights over the falls, Zambezi fishing, game drives in the adjacent national park, or a leisurely morning at the falls before departure. The botswana victoria falls tour ends here — onward transport from Victoria Falls airport or town centre is at your own arrangement. Meals: Breakfast.
