Day 1: Livingstone

Sibaram Das

Location: Livingstone

Accommodation Name: The Victoria Falls Waterfront

Welcome to Livingstone! Today we enjoy an included visit to Mosi Oa Tunya National Park to see the spectacular Victoria Falls. It's one of Africa's finest natural wonders and you can feel the spray even when standing quite far away! You may have time for some optional activities in Livingstone, such as river cruises on the Zambezi and white water rafting - make sure to arrive a few days early if you would like to enjoy these activities.





Please note: Please arrive in Livingstone at least one night before your tour, to ensure you have time to visit Victoria Falls. There will be a pre-departure meeting at 18:00 on the evening prior to departure. Refer to the Joining Instructions in the Trip Notes for more information. We can book a Livingstone Airport arrival transfer and pre-tour accommodation upon request.

Day 2: Kasane

Location: Kasane

Accommodation Name: Thebe River Lodge

Meals Included: Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner

Livingstone - Chobe National Park (Botswana). Say goodbye to Zambia as we cross into Botswana today and make the short journey to Kasane, gateway to Chobe National Park. Botswana's premier game reserve is home to all of the Big Five as well as abundant bird life, including the rare African Fish Eagle. This afternoon we enjoy a cruise on the Chobe River, hoping to see elephants, hippos, and crocodiles on the river banks.

Day 3: Chobe National Park

Location: Chobe National Park

Accommodation Name: Camp

Meals Included: Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner

Chobe National Park - Nata. This morning we enjoy an open vehicle game drive in Chobe National Park, where we hope to spot not only elephants that are so prolific in the park, but also lion and different antelope species.









Bidding farewell to Chobe, we travel south into the Nata region of Botswana. We're likely to spot species such as buffalo as we drive through this sparsely populated region. Our campsite tonight is unfenced, meaning local wildlife is free to wander through camp - our groups often enjoy some of their best wildlife experiences here.

Day 4: Maun

Aarush Dhand

Location: Maun

Accommodation Name: Delta Rain's Sitatunga Camp

Meals Included: Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner

Nata - Maun. Today sees us travelling to Maun, our base for exploring the famed Okavango Delta. If time allows, there is the opportunity for you to take a scenic flight over the delta - if we haven't got time today then this opportunity will be offered on day 30 instead.

Day 5-6: Okavango Delta

kashweka lemmy

Location: Okavango Delta

Accommodation Name: Elephant Camp

Meals Included: Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner

Maun - Okavango Delta - Maun. On day 5 we enjoy our overnight excursion in specialized safari vehicles into the Okavango Delta. The delta is a natural wetland spread out over more than 1.6 million hectares, home to an incredible diversity of life. Reaching the mokoro polers station, we transfer to these traditional canoes and paddle along the waterways of the delta to our campsite, which is located in the delta itself.





Day 6 sees us enjoying another mokoro ride back out of the delta before returning to Maun, where there is time for the optional scenic flight if we didn't have time for this on day 4.

Day 7: Gobabis

Gabriele T

Location: Gobabis

Accommodation Name: Zelda's Guest Farm

Meals Included: Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner

Maun - Gobabis (Namibia). Boarding our overland truck, we travel to the Namibian border via Ghanzi, skirting the edge of the barren Kalahari Desert. Having crossed the border, we reach our campsite, and there is an included bush walk with the local San Bushmen, during which we can learn about the way of life for this ancient tribe and discover how they work with, rather than against nature - something we can all learn from! Please note this activity may take place on day 8 instead, depending on our arrival time.

Day 8: Windhoek

Location: Windhoek

Accommodation Name: Urban Camp

Meals Included: Breakfast, Lunch

Gobabis - Windhoek. Today we arrive in Namibia's charming capital. Windhoek is a tiny capital by global standards, with a population of just 470,000 people. It has lots of German architecture, a reminder of Namibia's early colonial past. Our camp is located on the edge of the city, and it is easy to head in to grab a bite to eat and have a wander around if you wish. We recommend a drink at Joe's Beerhouse, perhaps the most famous restaurant in Namibia. Please note that some group members may be starting their tour in Windhoek.

Day 9-10: Etosha National Park

Nrupesh Soni

Location: Etosha National Park

Accommodation Name: Okaukuejo Camp

Meals Included: Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner

Windhoek - Etosha National Park. The next two days will be spent exploring Namibia's iconic Etosha National Park. This 20,000 square kilometre reserve is dominated by a salt pan, which floods seasonally but is also home to a select few watering holes all year round. Wildlife is easy to spot as the animals tend to gather around these scarce water sources.





We spend two nights in the park, and our itinerary is flexible depending on the conditions and the location of wildlife. We'll generally enjoy a short game drive on day 9 before spending our first night at a camp with a floodlit watering hole. Here you may be lucky enough to spot elephants, giraffe, hyenas and even lions.





Day 10 is spent on a full day's game drive across the park, stopping whenever we see anything of interest. We will either return to our first camp, or perhaps a different one, depending on your tour leader's decision.

Day 11: Spitzkoppe

Location: Spitzkoppe

Accommodation Name: Spitzkoppe Community Rest Camp

Meals Included: Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner

Etosha National Park - Spitzkoppe. Leaving Etosha, we head into the Damaraland region and our destination - Spitzkoppe. At this mountain peak, you can see incredibly well-preserved bushmen paintings and spectacular rock formations reaching 1800 metres above sea level. As the sun moves across the sky, the rocks change colour, a sight that is particularly beautiful at sunrise and sunset. We'll be staying at a campsite at the base of the mountain, so you can enjoy this sunset with a refreshing drink.

Day 12-13: Swakopmund

Wesley Rosenblum

Location: Swakopmund

Accommodation Name: Amanpuri Travellers Lodge

There are also lots of optional activities available including quad-biking, sand boarding, skydiving, and dolphin-watching cruises. See the Trip Notes for further details.

Aicha Dalsheimer

Location: Namib-Naukluft National Park

Accommodation Name: Sossus on Foot

Day 15: Sossusvlei

fotowelt-heise de

Location: Sossusvlei

Accommodation Name: Sossus Oasis Overland Camp

Meals Included: Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner

This morning we head back into Namib-Naukluft National Park, arriving at the desert's most famous landmark - Dune 45. This towering sand dune is more than 300 metres high - you are welcome to try to climb the dune if you are up to it!





Journeying deeper into the park, we arrive at Deadvlei, a white clay pan surrounded by the rolling golden dunes and home to eerie petrified trees. You'll want to remember your camera as the area changes colour with the movement of the sun across the sky. En route to our camp for the night, we also make a stop at Sesriem Canyon.

Day 16: Fish River Canyon

Location: Fish River Canyon

Accommodation Name: Canyon Roadhouse

Meals Included: Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner

Namib-Naukluft National Park - Fish River Canyon. If you thought Sesriem Canyon was impressive, you're in for a treat today! It's a long drive south through desert scenery to reach Fish River Canyon, second only in size to the Grand Canyon in the USA. More than 500 metres deep and scarring the land for 160km, it's a jaw-dropping sight to behold. We'll stop at a couple of viewpoints and visit the canyon's famously sharp bend, known as 'Hell's Corner'.

Day 17: Orange River

Marlise Botha

Location: Orange River

Accommodation Name: Felix Unite

Meals Included: Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner

Fish River Canyon - Orange River. Travelling south we reach the Orange River, also known as the Gariep. For much of its length, the Orange River marks the border between Namibia and South Africa.

Day 18: Cederberg

Your was good however truck was old and in poor condition. Rattled like hell and was unbearable in some Areas without headphones on. Accommodation was suitable but certainly nothing flash. Often seemed to be in the worst of the rooms available in the nicer places like Victoria falls. Elephant sands. Guides however were excellent and had no issues with them and they cooked some good meals. However did find you would need to substitute a lot of your own food into the days. Would I recommend the tour. Yes for a budget traveler. Would I recommend on the go. No. There were much nicer transport options from other providers
