Itinerary

A classic overland journey through Zimbabwe, Botswana, Namibia and South Africa. The countries that lie at the southern end of the African continent evoke a strong spirit of the wild. From the seemingly empty and endless dunes of the Namibian desert to the teeming animal life of Etosha National Park, this itinerary traverses the greatest parks, reserves and landscapes that the south has to offer. Beginning in Victoria Falls Zimbabwe we head into Botswana for unforgettable wildlife encounters in two of Africa's greatest sanctuaries along the Chobe River and in the wondrous Okavango Delta. Passing into Namibia, we observe wildlife in Etosha National Park, marvel at the Sossusvlei sand dunes, explore the dramatic landscapes of the Namib Desert, and marvel at the enormity of Fish River Canyon. The city of Cape Town with Table Mountain as its backdrop, is a fitting end to this amazing adventure through Southern Africa.

Guillia put a great self-drive tour together for us and Susana looked after us as we travelled. (Even when we got lost) The car and accommodation was good and the guides patient and informative. Only issue we had was parking in small villages, garages, and cities. Apart from the parking we had a relaxing and enjoyable holiday, thank you.
