More Details
Welcome to South Africa! Upon arrival at Johannesburg’s O.R. Tambo International Airport, spend a restful night at the InterContinental Johannesburg O.R. Tambo Airport Hotel. This conveniently located luxury airport hotel offers elegant rooms and suites, as well as a spa to cure those jet lag blues.
Fly to Livingstone, Zambia, where your adventure begins at the romantic Tongabezi Lodge on the banks of the Zambezi River. During your stay, enjoy a guided tour of Victoria Falls—one of the Seven Natural Wonders of the World—and a sunset cruise on the Zambezi, complete with cocktails and breathtaking views.
Once you've thoroughly explored Victoria Falls, cross into Botswana and settle into Chobe Game Lodge, the only permanent lodge within Chobe National Park, to begin your Botswana exploration in earnest. Known for its massive elephant population, Chobe offers both water-based safaris and traditional game drives. Observe vast herds of elephants, lions, and buffalo along the Chobe River.
Afterwards, take a scenic light aircraft flight to the remote Linyanti region. At Linyanti Expeditions Camp, enjoy immersive safaris including walking tours, mokoro (dugout canoe) trips, and night drives. The region is especially rich in wildlife, including wild dogs, leopards, and carmine bee-eaters.
Following your time in the Linyanti, board a private helicopter for a dramatic flight into the Okavango Delta, the jewel of Botswana. Kweene Trails, a private mobile camp, offers complete exclusivity in this untouched wilderness. Explore by foot, vehicle, or mokoro, and enjoy nights around the fire under a canopy of stars. This part of your Botswana exploration ensures true solitude and pristine natural encounters.
Finally, end your journey at Jack’s Camp in the Makgadikgadi Salt Pans. This iconic 1940s-style safari camp delivers an undoubtedly surreal landscape experience. Interact with habituated meerkats, walk with San Bushmen, and—during the dry season—ride quad bikes across the endless pans. Enjoy stargazing in one of the darkest skies in the world.
On Day 15, transfer by light aircraft to Maun for your international departure.
