Day 1
Victoria Falls, Zimbabwe & Zambia
Victoria Falls, Zimbabwe & Zambia
Today you fly to Victoria Falls where our local guide, Mortimer, greets and transfers you into the town of Victoria Falls. Here your accommodation is located in a quiet and leafy area, still within earshot of the constant roar coming from Mosi oa Tunya, the “Smoke that Thunders”.
The town of Victoria Falls, just minutes from the falls and on the fringes of the Zambezi National Park, is a bustling hive of activity, with the village rightly claiming the title of ‘Adrenaline Capital of Africa’. Although home to a seemingly endless variety of adventure sports, “Vic Falls”—as the town is called—still has a pioneering and colonial atmosphere. It has remained relatively unaffected by Zimbabwe’s economic and political troubles.
Dining options tonight include African-style feasts with accompanying tribal entertainment at The Boma or Jungle Junction restaurants, as well as an afternoon High Tea at the Victoria Falls Hotel.

Victoria Falls, Zimbabwe & Zambia
Victoria Falls, Zimbabwe & Zambia
We are pleased to offer you a complimentary guided visit to Victoria Falls during your stay (Zimbabwean and Zambian sides; entrance fees included). We have not included any other activities in your safari, allowing you the freedom to choose what you’d like to do and when you’d like to do it. The plethora of activities on offer includes Zambezi River cruises and white-water rafting or canoeing, rhino and elephant walking safaris, helicopter and microlight scenic flights, African township and village tours, adrenaline activities like bungee jumping and zip sliding, and much more. We especially recommend “a tour the Township” with our local guide, Mortimer, who introduces you to his home turf and often invites our travellers to lunch with his wife and family. We will send you our separate “Victoria Falls Activities” booklet, and we can pre-book any of these for you or they can be organized by Mortimer upon your arrival.

Day 3
Chobe River & Chobe National Park, Botswana
Chobe River & Chobe National Park, Botswana
Today you are transferred to Botswana and your lodge located on the banks of the Chobe River in the small safari town of Kasane. The private road transfer from Victoria Falls passes through bushveld that is home to wildlife such as elephant and giraffe sightings which often occur during the drive. You are again accompanied by Mortimer who will assist with the cross-border formalities. This afternoon, you'll embark on a private boat safari along the Chobe River. The accompanying sunset on the river often provides a truly memorable moment of your African safari. From your riverside accommodation, you are usually ‘serenaded’ to sleep by the grunts coming from nearby pods of hippo as they venture out of the water to graze on the lodge's lush lawn.

Day 4
Okavango Delta, Botswana
Okavango Delta, Botswana
This morning’s private game drive in Chobe National Park offers an exciting beginning to another day on safari. After brunch, you are transferred a short distance to Kasane Airport for your flight into the wild expanse of the Okavango Delta. The flight travels in a light aircraft deep into the delta floodplains and is part of a daily route that often stops at several bush airstrips to deliver/collect other travellers. Upon arrival, you are greeted by your camp guide who provides a game drive on the way to camp. After lunch and a short rest, you'll embark on an afternoon/evening game drive.
You'll stay here for three nights immersed in the absolute serenity of one of the world’s last true wildernesses. After evenings backed by a chorus of nighttime sounds in the African bush, your days include morning and afternoon/evening game drives as well as bush walks. You may also wish to relax by the pool and enjoy the expansive views from your luxury safari tent.

Day 5-6
Okavango Delta, Botswana
Okavango Delta, Botswana
Opened in March 2020 and overlooking the confluence of the seasonal Khwai and Mababe rivers, Nokanyana Camp is located within the wildlife-rich Khwai concession in the southeastern region of the Okavango Delta, adjacent to Moremi Game Reserve. Being located in a private concession means not being bound by the national park regulations imposed on camps located within Moremi Game Reserve. Nokanyana can therefore offer guided bush walks and year-round day and evening/night game drives that can go off-road if necessary. Some or all of these activities are not allowed within the national park. Wildlife viewing opportunities are considered some of the best offered in the Delta and thanks to the surrounding diverse landscape, guests have the chance to see all the major predators, a variety of big game and plains game, as well as an abundance of birdlife. Guests can also enjoy an open-sided helicopter flight over the delta (at additional costs and must be pre-booked).

“Tsamaya Sentle” and Farewell
After an early morning game drive and a hearty brunch, we say tsamaya sentle (“goodbye and go well” in the local Setswana language) as you board your light aircraft for the flight to the bustling safari town of Maun and your onward travel arrangements. There are daily flights from Maun to South Africa (Cape Town and Johannesburg) as well as thrice-weekly flights to Namibia (Windhoek).
During your stay in Southern Africa, you will experience our natural beauty, diverse cultures and renowned African hospitality, as well as the iconic wildlife of Africa. Thank you for choosing to visit us on this Compass Odyssey safari.
