Key Highlights of the Trip
Namibia
This botswana safari tour begins in Namibia, crossing the country from Windhoek north through Etosha National Park and along the Caprivi Strip toward the Botswana border.
Windhoek – Etosha National Park
Your botswana safari tour starts in Windhoek, where a representative of the local partner drives you north to Etosha National Park — a 4 to 5 hour transfer through the varied landscape of Namibia. On arrival, your tour guide briefs the group on the truck, the route, and fellow travelers. After lunch, the first game drive of the etosha national park tour gets underway, with lions, elephants, rhinos, and zebra regularly spotted around the park's waterholes. Meals: Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner. Included: Game drive in Etosha.
Etosha – Divundu
Leaving Etosha National Park — established in 1907 and one of Africa's largest reserves — the overland truck heads east toward the Okavango River. This leg of the namibia safari tour crosses into the subtropical Caprivi Strip, a narrow corridor of land between Angola and Botswana. The overnight stop is Divundu, a small town on the edge of the floodplains. Meals: Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner.
Botswana
The Botswana section is the heart of the okavango delta safari, covering the Okavango River, Maun gateway, Khwai Conservation Area, Moremi Game Reserve, and the Nata salt pans before heading north to Chobe.
Divundu – Maun, Okavango Delta
After breakfast, the group boards a boat on the Okavango River for a morning cruise through the river's wetland fringe — the beginning of the okavango delta safari experience. The border crossing into Botswana follows, and the truck reaches Maun, the gateway town to the delta. At 15,000 square kilometers, the Okavango Delta is the world's largest inland delta and one of the richest wildlife habitats on this africa overland tour. Meals: Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner. Included: Boat trip on the Okavango River.
Khwai Conservation Area
Early risers can join an optional scenic flight over the Okavango Delta before small 4x4 safari vehicles transfer the group to the Khwai Conservation Area. Community-managed and covering 2,000 square kilometers, Khwai is one of the finest botswana wildlife safari destinations in the region. The guide briefs the group on what to expect from the afternoon game drive. Pack a small overnight bag — luggage stays behind for the next two nights. Meals: Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner. Included: Drive through the Okavango Delta. Optional: Scenic flight over the Delta.
Moremi Game Reserve
A full-day game drive through the Moremi Game Reserve covers 5,000 square kilometers in the eastern Okavango Delta. This UNESCO Biosphere Reserve is one of the richest sections of the okavango delta trip, with 4x4 vehicles navigating bush tracks through woodland, floodplains, and seasonal wetlands. Predators, large herbivores, and birdlife are all present in high numbers. The evening back at Khwai offers time to reflect on the experiences of this botswana camping safari section. Meals: Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner. Included: Game drive in Moremi Game Reserve.

Our tour guide is happy to answer any questions about the day-by-day route, stops, and details.
Khwai – Nata Salt Pans
The journey resumes at dawn, returning first to Maun before the Nomad Truck drives northeast through the Botswana salt pans — a flat, open landscape where wild animals often cross the road. Arriving in Nata, a guided drive to the Nata Pans reveals one of Botswana's key wetland habitats: a breeding ground for pelicans, flamingos, and migratory waterbirds. This stretch completes the inland portion of the chobe national park tour that follows. Meals: Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner. Included: Drive through the Nata Pans.
Nata – Chobe National Park
Today the truck reaches Kasane, the base for the chobe national park safari. After lunch, the group boards a river boat for an afternoon cruise on the Chobe River. Chobe National Park — founded in 1968 — holds one of Africa's largest elephant concentrations, and late-afternoon game viewing from the water puts you level with herds drinking at the river's edge. Hippos, crocodiles, and buffalo are also regularly seen on this chobe safari. Meals: Breakfast. Included: Boat trip on the Chobe River.
Zimbabwe
The final leg of this victoria falls zimbabwe route crosses into Zimbabwe for two days at the falls, with optional adventure activities available.
Victoria Falls, Zimbabwe
Crossing the border into Zimbabwe, the group arrives in Victoria Falls — the endpoint of this victoria falls zimbabwe route. The falls themselves span 1.7 kilometers across the Zambezi River and are among the largest curtains of falling water on Earth. Beyond the viewpoints, the town offers a full range of optional victoria falls adventure activities: white-water rafting, helicopter flights, bungee jumping, and sunset cruises on the Zambezi. Meals: Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner.
Victoria Falls – Departure
After breakfast, the victoria falls tour concludes. The morning is free for a final visit to the falls or one last optional activity before transfer to the airport. This marks the end of a 9-day botswana safari tour that covered three countries, four national parks, and some of southern Africa's most remote wilderness areas. Meals: Breakfast.
