This trip exceeded my expectations as we saw a huge number of animals and birds. We saw lions on a daily basis and several leopards. I found the camping a lot harder than expected , particularly as it was hot so it was fantastic to be accommodated at such a lovely hotel as the Pioneers Lodge at the end of the trip.
The 2 men led by KD worked like trojans putting up and taking down the campsite and cooking amazing meals all over a wood stove. Joe the trip leader was fantastic too. A big thanks to all three who worked tirelessly to ensure the trip went well.
The drives were long and the roads bumpy but it wasn’t really a problem.We had a great group so it was nice to sit back ,have a chat and relax.Overall a trip that was enjoyable and will be remembered.

It was a wonderful trip thanks to an exceptional guide, Africa's own treasured wildlife and habitats, and the kind generosity of the natives who shared with us this spectacular part of the world. Yes, the pre-trip paperwork could have been less confusing . The logistics should maybe have been worked out earlier and more definitely. Nonetheless, all in all a fantastic trip I wish I could share with everyone I love. Please protect the gems we have left. Thank you for helping us be responsible tourists.

It really was a once in a lifetime trip! We experienced so many things and did so many activities that it felt much longer than just three weeks - but in the best way possible!

It was a wonderful trip and I have many fond memories of it. Everything went very smoothly and I know I'll definitely be going back to Africa!
Our CEO was top notch and so was the bus driver. We had a great time with lots of humor and great experiences.
I also really appreciated the fact that G Adventures showed us “Planeterra” projects. I really enjoyed visiting “Pentuka” and especially “!Khwattu”, and I loved being able to buy things in these places to support these two organizations. Thank you so much!

I thought every single day was the best day of my life... Until the next day came along and overtook it, and then the next day and the next...
The Okavango Delta is pure magic. Easily the best place to see wildlife in Africa (and I have been to most of them on Contiki's). Its remote, there are barely any other tourists on safari out there and it felt like we were truly in Africa, experiencing it for how it should be and not a tourist destination to see wildlife. The camping set up there is awesome, you arrive and everything is set up from your tents and bedding, to a fire place to sit around at night, to a dining tent and chill tent on the river to watch elephants come downt to drink in the middle of the day - right in front of us! On the Game Drives we saw lions and even Wild Dogs (Painted Wolf) pups as well as the adults on the hunt. The safari vehicles had fridges to keep the beers cold, charge ports for our phones and a roof to climb on to watch the sunset over the Delta's waterways while lions were calling in the distance.
The Meerkats at the salt pans were amazing to see go about their day without even giving us a glance as we got close for photos and the sunset on the pans where you can see the horizon 360 degrees around you was extra special.
And Chobe was out of this world... That sunset on the river when everyone had left the park but we stayed in it at Contiki Special Campsite, plus the leopard in the tree... Goosebumps...
And I nearly forgot the adrendline and pure adventure of Victoria Falls. Bungeeing, rafting, heli flights, walking safaris... It has everything to get the heart racing but also some activity from sitting on safari vehicles. I guess some of the activities are pricey, but I felt super safe doing everything and would always rather pay a higher price for safety on the adventurous activities. I'd reccomend them all! The accommodation here felt so fancy with swimming pool, the spray of the falls in the distance, elephants drinking at the waterhole in front and out the back you could safely walk into town to do some shopping or exploring...
A trip I could VERY easily do again and again. Every safari drive is different with varying chances of seeing different animals doing different things (drinking/eating/hunting/playing with babies etc etc). Every drive felt special and unique...

Maximize your chances of viewing wildlife in Chobe National Park on this full-day excursion from Victoria Falls. Go on a safari through the park and cruise down the Chobe River with an experienced guide to see big cats and tropical birds in their natural habitat.
You will be picked up from Victoria Falls at 05:00 am and transferred to Chobe National Park. The half-day safari starts at around 06:30 in the morning and gives you a chance to get up close with nature in specially adapted off road vehicles. Lion sightings are fairly frequent in this nature reserve and most antelopes can be seen year round. Leopards are also not rare in the area. You will travel along the national park's waterfront, where animals congregate, with predators often lying in wait or just dozing in the shade.
The drive will continue until 12:30 in the afternoon. After lunch, you will have some time to relax before a three-hour boat cruise on the Chobe River, which starts at 3:00 pm and ends at 6:00 in the evening. The cruise gives you the opportunity to see lots of waders and water birds along with other animals.
You will be back in Victoria Falls at around 8:00 pm.
