The Okavango Delta is the world’s largest inland delta. It is fed by the Okavango River which originates from the highlands of Angola. While the river would have once reached the ocean, now it's swallowed up by a thirsty basin of white Kalahari sands, creating an effect that resembles an outstretched emerald hand, more correctly referred to as an alluvial fan.
Join us on this eight-day, guided tour to discover the Okavango Delta as well as other highlights of Zimbabwe like the Victoria Falls, Chobe National Park and the game reserve of Elephant Sands. Please scroll down to the itinerary section for more details.

What an amazing experience. From the start of our tour, all the way to the last minute, every activity was worth every moment and my only wish is that it could have lasted longer. Amazing to see how many animals are still roaming around - what an incredibly time.
This 2-day overnight safari is perfect for those in Victoria Falls (or Livingstone in Zambia) on a short visit but would still want to experience the famous African Bush.
Enjoy an authentic animal-packed viewing adventure in the wilderness without ringing phones, internet access or cable TV. Stay overnight in the Chobe National Park with your guide and crew. Simply enjoy the night sounds and open-fire cooked meals served under the stars in a private bush campsite. One day one, you will enjoy a boat cruise on the Chobe River (many people consider this to be the highlight!), an afternoon safari and a sunset safari right in the middle of the Chobe wilderness. One the second day, enjoy a full day of wildlife encounters before being transferred back to your Hotel in Victoria Falls or Livingstone.
Don't miss out on this camping safari experience.
The tour starts off with a visit to Pietermaritzburg, the capital of KwaZulu Natal. There we will stop by Pietermaritzburg's City Hall, which claims to be the largest brick building in the southern hemisphere. There we will visit the Gandhi statue also before we head towards the Drakensberg mountains.
We head towards the Giants Castle Reserve in Drakensburg Mountain range. Conveniently built high on the front of the Drakensberg, Giant's Castle camp is surrounded by beautiful landscape, deep valleys and grassy highlands which presents tourists with spectacular unforgettable views.
Giant’s Castle Reserve has a set of sandstone caves which have been turned into an outdoor museum. The San Rock Art depicts life of the San and Khoekhoe people who lived in South Africa for 1000s of years before Bantu and European migration. Both considered ‘hunters and gatherers’, the San were more nomadic that the Khoekhoe, who started to herd cattle when introduced by the bantu people who migrated from central Africa. The San and the Khoekhoe used rock art to communicate their story between clans and people.
Giants Castle’s caves is one of the best maintained Cave Rock Sites in KwaZulu-Natal and South Africa. The site has been developed for tourism and offers guided tours on the hour from 9am – 3pm daily. Only 30 minutes from the camp the leisurely trail offers guests an original cultural experience and a spectacular landscape adventure. The local guide will elaborate and display the history and culture behind some of the best-preserved artwork by the San people.
Next stop will be the small town of Howick to visit its waterfall. KwaNogqaza or Howick Falls is approximately 95 m in height and lies on the Umgeni River. The local Zulu people named it the “Home of the Tall” referring to its height. Next to the falls lies a quaint old section of Howick which has a selection of historical museums and antique stores to visit.
Next is the Nelson Mandela Capture Site Statue and Apartheid Museum. The Capture Site boasts a large sculpture of Nelson Mandela made up of multiply steel columns which stand between 6 and 9 metres tall. Tourists at the Capture Site are required to stand 35 meters away from the large Nelson Mandela bust for it to come into clear focus. Facing west the impressive sculpture creates a uniquely beautiful landscape for the local Howick community. The museum is dedicated to Nelson Mandela’s life and his struggle against Apartheid government.
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 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.
