Overview

Start with the thunder and spray of Victoria Falls, cross the border to Chobe for elephants on the river, then fly into the Okavango for the quiet of the Delta.

It is a journey with a perfect shape, and the one we recommend most often for a first visit to Southern Africa.

Highlights

  • Guided tour of Victoria Falls
  • Sunset on the Zambezi
  • Chobe riverfront by boat
  • Mokoro and game drives in the Delta
