Victoria Falls

We pick up the guests arriving from Victoria Falls and proceed on the road transfer to Shongwe Lookout Lodge. Lunch will be for the guest's own account. At 2 pm, guests will be picked up for the guided 2-hour tour of Victoria Falls. Entrance is USD $30 per person. After the tour, guests will be dropped off at the lodge for dinner and overnight.

Victoria Falls is set on the magnificent Zambezi River which creates the border between Zambia and Zimbabwe. It's considered to be the world’s widest waterfalls. Victoria Falls measures an impressive 1,708 metres in width. The small town of Victoria Falls, which lies adjacent to the waterfalls, serves as a great base from which to explore the many attractions this area of Zimbabwe has to offer. The surrounding area provides a wide range of adrenalin-filled activities for adventure lovers. Visitors can look forward to an array of wonderful activities including scenic flights, micro lighting, white-water rafting, bungee jumping, and kayaking.

Chobe Riverfront

Chobe Riverfront

After breakfast, we pick you up for the road transfer to Kasane in Botswana, located only 60 km away. Kasane town overlooks the Chobe River while the river is bordering Chobe Park. Staying at Kasane gives access to the river for a game viewing by boat at 3 pm to enjoy the beautiful sunset. This is why we recommend a night at Kasane. We return at 6:30 pm for dinner and overnight.

On day 3, you have a a 6 hours Private game drive in Chobe. Drive further into the park to search for game, large and small. Along the river, you will encounter plenty of game. In the late afternoon, drive back to the lodge for dinner and overnight.

Chobe National Park is renowned for its diverse and abundant game viewing opportunities and concentrations of wildlife, including the elephant and hippo populations. The waters attract all manner of game including large herds of buffalos and lions that prey on them.

Day 4-6

Camping in Savuti

Camping in Savuti

Due to the distance from Chobe to Savuti (which takes 6 hours on a bumpy, sandy road in an open vehicle), we have decided to stop the long uncomfortable drive and include a charter flight from Kasane to Savuti. On arrival, your guide will meet you at the Savuti Airstrip to go for a game drive with a picnic lunch. In the late afternoon, proceed to your campsite just before sunset where snacks and beverages will be served, followed by a 3-course dinner. After dinner, sit next to the bonfire under the stars with an open bar and a coffee station.

There are many sandy, two-track roads. The south of the Savuti is known to be the home of the San rock art galleries. Savuti is surrounded by acacia bush and stony outcrops and is very similar to Kalahari vegetation. It's famous for its lone elephant bulls, its lions, and hyenas, as well as the zebra and wildebeest migration including giraffe, tsessebe, warthog, black-backed jackal, leopard, cheetah, bat-eared fox, impala, wild dog, and kudu.

Camping in Khwai

Camping in Khwai

After an early breakfast, our team will break up the camp as we set our departure for Khwai for 2 nights of camping. We will make our way back to the transit road heading to Khwai, and we'll drive past some of the smaller villages and wildlife corridors along the way. The sand road takes some time to travel on, but we'll have wildlife sightings on our way to the camping site, just in time for sunset. Guests can have refreshments, followed by a 3-course dinner. After dinner, we sit around the bonfire and talk about our day while enjoying an open bar and a coffee station.

The Khwai Concessions are situated adjacent to the world-famous Moremi Game Reserve and has large palm islands and large dryland areas where the big game is found. Buffalo, zebra, wildebeest, and giraffe can be seen in the long yellow grasses of the wide plains, while lion, leopard, and cheetah are also present and the large herds of elephants are always wonderful to watch.

Camping in Moremi Game Reserve

Camping in Moremi Game Reserve

After an early breakfast, our team will break up the camp as we depart with a packed lunch to Moremi Campsite where we will be staying for 3 nights. You'll be able to enjoy various Okavango water activities while staying here. Before sunset, guests can have refreshments, followed by a 3-course dinner. After dinner, we sit around the bonfire and talk about our day while enjoying an open bar and a coffee station.

The Moremi Game Reserve is located on the eastern side of the Okavango and consists of a patchwork of lagoons, shallow flooded pans, plains, and forests. The area and diversity of habitat support a high variety and density of wildlife, particularly predators. There are multiple private mobile camps that have access to some of the best game viewing in Northern Botswana as well as the “must-do” option of a boat cruise on the Okavango itself.
