Itinerary
The adventure begins at Victoria Falls. Today is all about settling into the trip. We have a welcome briefing this evening, our first chance to meet as a group and to ask the leader any questions you have. Accommodation: Shearwater Explorers Village campsite (or similar)
We have a free day with a choice of several optional activities, including scenic flights, white-water rafting and game-viewing among others. Victoria Falls is a small town on the Zimbabwean side of the glorious Victoria Falls, which you can visit (entrance own expense US$50). Accommodation: Shearwater Explorers Village campsite (or similar)
We have a little free time in the campsite, leaving at around 11am for our transfer to Kasane in Botswana, home to huge numbers of elephants and hippos. There’s an optional game drive in Chobe National Park in the afternoon. Drive time: 95mi (150km), one to two hours, plus border crossing of one to two hours Accommodation: Thebe River Camp Site (or similar)
We have an early morning game drive in the national park and an afternoon boat ride on the Chobe River, where it is possible to view huge herds of elephants coming to drink plus many other animals. Accommodation: Thebe River Camp Site (or similar)
We drive through Chobe National Park as we make our way to Namibia and then through the Caprivi Strip to our camp by the Okavango River – the main watercourse supplying the Okavango Delta. Drive time: 250mi (400km), five to six hours, plus one-hour border crossing Accommodation: Ngepi Camp (or similar)
We take a mokoro (traditional dugout canoe) ride from our camp on the Okavango River. Please note, the river may be flooded in March/April and we may have to substitute our mokoros for a boat ride. The birdlife is prolific and, at certain times of the year, so is the ...
We have a long drive from the Okavango River to Etosha National Park, a huge area of mixed forest and grassland centred around a large saltpan. Etosha is home to a great variety and number of animals, which are easy to find as they congregate at different times around...
We have the next two days to really enjoy this fabulous park, starting with an early morning game drive. While in Etosha, we move our camps (between Okaukuejo, Halali or Namutoni) but the itinerary is kept flexible depending on where the animals congregate. Accommodation: Etosha NWR Campsite (or similar)
This morning we leave Etosha and head towards Brandberg, the highest mountain in Namibia. We enjoy a walk through Valley 45 for approximately two hours to the White Lady rock painting which, along with several other small paintings and engravings, are thought to have ...
We drive towards the Skeleton Coast and the Germanic town of Swakopmund, where we stay overnight. Drive time: 155mi (250km), four hours Accommodation: Dunedin Star Guest House (or similar)
Swakopmund is the adventure sports capital of Namibia, and we have a full day here to enjoy the optional adventure activities available; go on a dolphin cruise or township tour or take a flight over the desert! Alternatively, explore the German-style town and visit some of the excellent cake shops. Accommodation: Dunedin Star Guest House (or similar)
Drive via Walvis Bay to Sesriem, through the Namib Desert. This area is home to some of the driest and oldest deserts on earth and some of the finest desert scenery in Africa with towering, jagged rock formations and incredible lunar landscapes. Drive time: 185mi (300km), 4hr 30min Accommodation: Sesriem Camp Site (or similar)
We have a full day to enjoy the Sossusvlei dunes and Sesriem Canyon. We wake early to watch the morning light over the dunes and then climb one of the highest dunes in the world. If you’d rather watch from below, you can enjoy seeing the changing colours on the toweri...
We leave early this morning to drive to the Fish River Canyon, the second largest canyon on earth. We arrive in the afternoon and set up camp, before transferring to the rim of the canyon for sunset views. Drive time: 310mi (500km), 8hr 30min to 9hr Accommodation: Hobas Camp (or similar)

If you’d prefer to extend your time in Cape Town, speak to your sales representative about booking additional nights.
