Itinerary details

3 NIGHTS KALAHARI DESERT

We fly you into Johannesburg and on to Maun, Botswana, the gateway to the arid, lunar landscapes of the Kalahari Desert and the Makgadikgadi Salt Pans. Here, you'll spend three nights at San Camp and walk with the bushmen to meet a family of meercats, or take quad bikes across the desert pan.

3 NIGHTS OKAVANGO DELTA

From arid desert to the unforgettable Okavango Delta. Elephant, buffalo, lion, leopard and wild dog await, as well as a myriad of bird species. Three nights at Sanctuary Stanley’s Camp ensures you see all this in luxury and style, and includes a chance to walk with elephants.

2 NIGHTS VICTORIA FALLS

You'll now fly into Zambia for two nights at stunning Tongabezi. A luxury lodge on the Zambezi River offering pods of hippop siting amongst its wide variety of wildlife nearby. Here we'll include lunch on Livingstone Island which sits right on the edge of the Victoria Falls.

Take advantage of the location and enjoy all Victoria falls has to offer, from white water rafting to a helicopter ride over the falls, or head out and visit some of the local villages. Don't forget to look up at night to admire the starry nights.

4 NIGHTS SOUTH LUANGWA

A short flight takes you to the untamed wilderness of South Luangwa: abundant with wildlife and the birthplace of walking safaris. Experience exhilarating walking safaris from Robin Pope Safaris Tena Tena, and allow your ultra-knowledgeable guide to lead you past herds of elephant and lion on pulse-raising treks. At the end of your four night stay, we transfer you back to the airport, enlivened and inspired, in time for your flights home or onwards to the beach.
