Itinerary
For those yearning to get as close as possible to Africa’s untamed wilderness, this 12-day adventure through Zimbabwe and Botswana promises unrivaled encounters with nature. Beginning at Victoria Falls and ending in Maun, the trip includes game drives in Chobe National Park and Moremi Game Reserve, where lions, elephants, and cheetahs roam freely. The itinerary’s easy pace is ideal for travelers of varying activity levels who still want a taste of adventure.
A major highlight is cruising the Okavango Delta Panhandle on a private houseboat—watching the sun dip below the horizon from the top deck is an experience few tour packages offer. Several nights of wild camping immerse you in the sounds and rhythms of the bush, fostering a genuine connection with the land.
This journey’s unique selling point lies in its authentic bush experiences—wild camping, exclusive river cruises, and close-up wildlife viewing—making it the ultimate tour for anyone ready to embrace the wild heart of Southern Africa.
day 1Join trip in Victoria Falls
Our tour starts today in Victoria Falls. Often referred to as the adventure capital of Zimbabwe, Victoria Falls offers a thrilling combination of land, air and water-based activities.
For those arriving in time, our tour leader plans to meet you in the hotel reception at 6pm for a welcome meeting and for those that wish, there is the chance to go out for dinner. There are no other activities planned today, so you're free to arrive in Victoria Falls at any time. If you'd an airport transfer, you'll need to arrive into Victoria Falls Airport (VFA), which is around a 30-minute drive from the hotel. If you miss the welcome meeting, your tour leader will inform you of any essential information as soon as you catch up.
This evening, we'll either be staying at the Batonka Guest Lodge or Pioneer Lodge. The two are sister properties located just over 1 kilometre/0.6 miles from each other and are almost identical. Both are set in beautiful, landscaped gardens and feature a swimming pool, spacious rooms, an expansive terrace where breakfast is served, a bar and a stylish lounge and dining room which are both extremely comfortable.
If your flight arrives earlier in the day, you might like to choose from a host of adventurous activities including whitewater rafting, canoeing and cruises on the Zambezi River. Full details are listed in the 'Budgeting and packing' section of the trip notes.
