Itinerary

Day 1 Botswana - Palapye
We depart Johannesburg heading north to Botswana. After border formalities we continue towards Palapye, previously known as Phalatswe, where we'll spend our first night. Palapye is located on the banks of the Lotsane River.
Meals: Lunch, Dinner

Day 2 Khama Rhino Sanctuary - Maun
This morning we visit the Khama Rhino Sanctuary, a community based wildlife project, established in 1992 to assist in saving the vanishing rhino. We arrive in Maun in the afternoon and prepare for the Okavango Delta. As our transport is in small planes the limit on personal luggage is a maximum of 10kg, for most people this means repacking! Do not forget your cameras! In the late afternoon there is sometimes time to visit a local Crocodile Farm.
Optional Activity: Crocodile Farm
Meals: Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner

Day 3/4 Okavango Delta
We leave our truck behind, board our planes, and head into the Delta. After a wonderful scenic flight we arrive at our base for the next two days. During our time in the Delta we enjoy the best nature has to offer. We go on nature walks and If possible will explore the Delta by mokoro. The Delta is the world's largest inland delta. The Okavango River has no outlet to the sea, so it empties into the sands of the Kalahari Desert, irrigating some 15,000 square km's. This is a truly spectacular and unforgettable experience where wild animals are not familiar with people.
Meals: Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner

Day 5 Gweta
We leave the Delta behind us and travel east to Gweta, which is located halfway between Maun and Nata, near the Makgadikgadi Pans National Park. The area is also full of Baobab trees, these large trees are often extremely old and there are many local fables in which they play a part.
Meals: Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner

Day 6 Kasane - Chobe National Park
Today we head north to Kasane, on the banks of the Chobe River. Apart from being the 2nd biggest National Park in Botswana, Chobe NP is renowned for its high population of migratory elephants. The afternoon is spent game viewing on a river cruise, into the renowned Chobe NP. This is an excellent opportunity to view some of Africa's spectacular wildlife. If you did not see enough animals already there will be time tomorrow morning for an optional game drive in the Chobe NP.
Meals: Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner

Day 7 Zimbabwe - Victoria Falls
On arrival in Victoria Falls we have time to plan the next day's adventure activities before we visit the spectacular Victoria Falls National Park and experience the thundering of the mighty Zambezi as it drops over 100m in to the gorge below. The local Batoka tribe named the Victoria Falls ‘Mosi-o-Tunya' which translated means "The Smoke that Thunders'. In high-water season the plume of spray rising from the Falls can be seen for kilometres.
Optional Activities: Chobe NP Early Morning Game Drive, Zambezi Sunset Dinner Cruise
Meals: Breakfast, Lunch
