On arrival at Cape Town International, you will be transferred to a Lodge in Cape Town close to the Victoria & Alfred Waterfront where all paperwork and other formalities will be completed. The afternoon is at leisure for you to explore all that Cape Town has to offer.

Kaokoveld
Located in the far north-west, Kaokoland is one of the particularly untouched regions in Namibia. The almost inaccessible area south of the Kunene River is the home of the Himba ethnic group, who have kept their ethnic individuality and culture in the secluded Kaokoland.
Travelling through this region is only possible under expedition-like conditions in off-road vehicles and, furthermore, should only be done under the leadership of an experienced guide. Tracks are hardly signposted, corrugated and extremely stony or sandy. There are no service stations and no accommodation in Kaokoland. You must camp in the wild. Our campsite is close to the Falls.

Day 19: Epupa Falls

This morning it is time to head back South via Opuwo to Kamanjab. At Kamanjab, we will be overnighting at our private campsite.

At Outjo we will make a stop in order to stock up on food supplies and drinks before entering Etosha National Park.

ETOSHA NATIONAL PARK - This is one of the major sanctuaries for wildlife in Africa. The heart of the park is the Etosha pan, meaning "place of dry water," an extensive, flat depression of about 5000 square kilometres. This great, white expanse is a place of shimmering mirages; seeing large herds of game in this setting is a uniquely African experience. Our first camp in the Park is Okaukuejo, well known for its floodlit waterhole.

Day 23: Rundu

We leave Etosha today and travel to Rundu via Grootfontein. Tonight we will sleep on the banks of the Okavango River. Close to Grootfontein is the 60 tonne Hoba meteorite, the largest of its kind in the world and unique due to its cuboid shape.

In stark contrast to most of Namibia, the Caprivi Strip is a mosaic of woodlands, riverine forests and swamps. Our destination today is our campsite close to the Mudumu National Park.

After an early morning game drive, we leave the Caprivi and cross the border into Botswana, and via the Chobe National Park and Kasane travel to the Kazangula Border where we enter Zimbabwe. Our lodge for the next 2 nights is in the town of Victoria Falls.

Today is at leisure, giving you the opportunity not only to view the Falls, but also to participate in some of the many activities on offer such as River Rafting, Bungi Jumping, Helicopter Flights, Boat Cruises, Canoe trips and many others.

After breakfast, board our Truck and cross the border into Botswana. Once in Botswana, we head for Chobe National Park. Our campsite for the night is along the banks of the Chobe River.

Chobe, which is the second largest national park in Botswana, covers 10 566 square kilometres. The park is divided into four main focal points comprising the Chobe River front with floodplain and teak forest, the Savuti Marsh in the west about 50 kilometres north of Mababe gate, the Linyanti Swamps in the north-west and the hot dry hinterland in between. We will enjoy an afternoon game drive in the area.

Today we head south to our next camp – in the Savuti area. Savuti is famous for its elephant hunting lion prides. We spend the afternoon game viewing before returning to camp.

Heading even further south, we enter Moremi National Park in the Okavango Delta. Game viewing en-route, we travel to our private camp situated in this vast wilderness.

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. 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.

An early morning game drive will be followed by a boat cruise, deep into the Delta where we spend most of the day on the water. There is the possibility of a game walk – weather permitting and maybe even a refreshing swim. We once again overnight at our private campsite.

Today is spent game viewing and relaxing at the camp.

After breakfast we pack up camp and head for Maun. On arrival in the early afternoon, you have the option of joining one of the scenic flights over this beautiful area. Our camp tonight is close to the town.

Heading east to the famous Nxai Pan National Park, part of Makgadikgadi Pans, we search for the wild life in the area. Stopping at open pans where the animals gather to drink.

Situated in Northern Botswana, this 2590 square kilometre reserve is mainly forest and savannah woodland and large areas of open grassland. There are two Pans - Nxai (a fossil lake bed about 15 km. wide and covered with short grass), and Kgama-Kgama Pan. WILDLIFE Lion, Leopard, Wild Dog, Cheetah, Springbok, Gemsbok, Large herds of Wildebeest and Zebra, Giraffe, Brown and Spotted Hyena, Eland and other Antelopes. We camp at a site in the park.

After an early morning game drive, we enjoy brunch at the famous Baines Baobabs before heading to Kubu Island on the edge of Sowa Pans.

A scenic drive over the pans takes us to the shoreline of what was once a large inland lake. Via Letlakane, we continue on to Khama Rhino Sanctuary in time for an evening drive in search of White Rhino.

After crossing the border with South Africa, our final night will be spent in the Waterberg. This will be an opportunity to savour a last night in the African Bush, remembering the route traveled and things seen.

The morning is at leisure before heading back to the city of Johannesburg. We stop for lunch en-route. Drop off at Johannesburg International Airport.
