Tell pax to contact the South African High Commission, South African Department of Home Affairs and/or the Botswana High Commission for further information.
Travelstride Take
If you have the time, this 22 day tour through some of Africa’s most picturesque areas is well worth it. When you take an extended holiday like this it allows you the time to really sink in and get the know the countries and cultures on a deeper level than you might when rushing through from attraction to attraction. This is an “overland” trip, so facilities, accommodations, and food will be fairly rustic along the way - most nights you will be camping in permanent tented camps. A sense of adventure and community spirit is key to enjoying these kinds of trips - and it helps if you have a sociable personality!
