Tour Summary: This safari departs from Victoria Falls. It's recommended to arrive a day or two earlier should you wish to partake in some of the many optional activities in Vic Falls. Haven't seen an elephant yet, well not to worry, Chobe National Park is our next stop and renowned for these gentle giants. Then it's off to the Okavango Delta for an experience like no other as you get poled through the waterways on a mokoro, perhaps gliding past hippos or even elephants cooling off a few meters away. Last stop is at the Khama Rhino Sanctuary where you can learn more about rhino's and how they are being protected. The safari ends in Johannesburg.
Highlights: Victoria Falls National Park, an exciting 4x4 drive into the Okavango Delta, 2 night Okavango delta Excursion, Mokoro Rides, Chobe River Cruise, Khama Rhino Sanctuary.
Itinerary
Day 1 Zimbabwe – Victoria Falls – Botswana - KasaneOn arrival your guide will brief you on the next few days. Today we visit the spectacular Victoria Falls and experience the thundering sound of the mighty Zambezi before crossing the Botswana border to Kasane, on the banks of the Chobe River and enjoy a scenic river cruise. As we leave Victoria Falls today it is best to arrive 1-2 days beforehand if you wish to partake in any of the adventure activities such as the world-famous White Water Rafting.

Day 2 Maun
There is the possibility of an optional g
ame drive in Chobe before we drive through to Maun. On arrival we prepare for our 2-day expedition into the Okavango. The rivers leading to the Okavango Delta have no passage to the ocean and irrigate instead some 15,000 square km’s of Kalahari Desert – forming the world’s largest inland Delta. Optional Activities: Early Morning Game Drive in Chobe NP, Crocodile Farm visit.Meals: Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner
Day 3/4 Okavango Delta
During your time in the Delta we enjoy the best nature has to offer. We go on nature walks and explore the Delta by mokoro traditional canoe (water level dependant). The Delta is truly spectacular and an unforgettable experience as the wild animals here are not used to people. Simply sitting and relaxing often results in rewarding bird or game viewing. We travel in to the Delta on a large 4x4 vehicle - in high water season boats are used. We join up with some of the local people and set up our bush camp for the next 2 nights.
Meals: Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner
Day 5/6 GwetaWe leave the Delta behind us and travel east. This afternoon we drive to Planet Baobab where our accommodation for the next two nights is unique, and a little quirky.
