Botswana is Southern Africa's largest and authentic wilderness.

This is a land of great contrasts. More than 70% of the country is covered by the vast and waterless Kalahari Desert, while to the north-west the Okavango River, born in Angola , flows East into the arid sands of the Kalahari Desert, spreading into a myriad of about 15000 square kilometres of crystal clear water channels, rivers and lagoons, before it disappears beneath the ardent sands of the desert and creating what is known as the World's last greatest wilderness, the Okavango Delta.

Transfer from Johannesburg International Airport to our offices. There you will complete all the necessary paperwork and receive a briefing regarding the overland vehicle. Once all formalities are complete, we depart for the wilds of the Waterberg where we will stay at a lodge.

Following an early morning game drive and breakfast, we travel north to Kubu Island on the Sowa Salt Pan where we overnight. Kubu Island is near to the shoreline of the Makgadigadi Pans , once Africa's biggest inland lake. Camping out in this vast expanse of nothingness is an amazing experience.

After and early morning game drive on the pan, we have breakfast before continuing onto Maun at the edge of the Okavango Delta, where we stock up on fuel and supplies for the next few days.

We camp just outside of town on the riverbank. In Maun you can – for a few extra $$$ - take an incredible flight over the Delta this afternoon, or just relax in this beautiful frontier town.

In the early morning we enter the World-renowned Okavango Delta for a full day Mokoro trip (dug-out canoe) and bush walk before returning once again to overnight just outside of Maun.

We head for Moremi Game Reserve where the day is spent game viewing. Our camp for the next 3 nights is at our private campsite in the middle of the wild African bush.

Many travellers regard the Moremi Wildlife Reserve as the most spectacular and beautiful game park in Southern Africa. It covers more than 1000 square kilometres of grassy flood plains in the north-eastern corner of the Okavango Delta . Apart from savannah, the terrain includes winding waterways with banks of reeds, palm-covered islands, thick forest and lush, lily-covered lagoons where hippos bathe and sport.

With such a wide variety of vegetation comes an incredibly wide spectrum of wild life. Huge herds of impala and tsessebe are always in the area, while in the dry season large herds of buffalo, wildebeest and zebra flock into the park from the Kalahari in search of food and water. The rare sitatunga and lechwe antelope live in the papyrus banks of the waterways. Lions, cheetahs and packs of wild dogs hunt in the open grassland. The reserve is home to an immense number of birds.

We explore the Moremi area including the area around Third Bridge and Xananaka, with a boat trip deep into the Delta on Day 8.

Today we travel further north through the Chobe Forest Reserve and camp at a site along the Chobe River bank.

It's time to cross the border into Zimbabwe and the town of Victoria Falls . You have the option of visiting the Falls – one of the Seven Wonders of the Natural World.

Our accommodation for the next 2 nights is at a Lodge in the town.

Day at leisure to allow you the opportunity to partake in some of the many activities on offer such as white water rafting, bungi jumping and river cruises on the Zambezi River, helicopter flips, canoe safaris etc.

On reboarding the truck, we head back into Botswana and South to Nata where we overnight at the Nata Bird Sanctuary.

After breakfast we head through Francistown and Palapye to our final overnight stop at a Lodge close to the Botswana / South Africa border.

The final leg of our journey sees us arriving back at our Johannesburg offices mid afternoon. Airport transfer.
