This 15-day Botswana and Zimbabwe safari explores some of Southern Africa’s most celebrated wildlife regions, combining wetlands, savannahs, and remote wilderness areas into one varied journey. From the waterways of the Okavango Delta to the elephant corridors of Chobe and the vast plains of Hwange National Park, the itinerary offers excellent opportunities to experience the region’s diverse landscapes and wildlife.
Travelling through Botswana and into Zimbabwe, the safari includes game drives, mokoro excursions, and time in both private concessions and national parks. The journey concludes at Victoria Falls, where travellers can explore one of Africa’s most iconic natural landmarks.
Highlights of the Tour
Okavango Delta
The Okavango Delta is one of Africa’s most unique ecosystems and a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Seasonal floodwaters from the Angolan highlands spread across the Kalahari sands, creating a network of lagoons, floodplains, and palm islands that support an extraordinary variety of wildlife. Exploring the best of the Okavango Delta by mokoro allows travellers to glide quietly through narrow channels while observing birdlife, aquatic plants, and animals that gather along the water’s edge.
Chobe Enclave
Located in northern Botswana near the border with Zimbabwe, the Chobe Enclave forms part of an important wildlife corridor linking Chobe National Park and surrounding reserves. The area is known for its large elephant herds, which frequently move through the region in search of water and grazing. Open grasslands and forest edges also attract buffalo, antelope, and predators, making it a rewarding destination for wildlife viewing.
Hwange National Park
Hwange National Park is Zimbabwe’s largest national park and one of the country’s most important wildlife conservation areas. The park’s varied landscapes include open savannahs, woodland, and natural waterholes that attract large concentrations of animals throughout the year. Hwange is particularly known for its elephant population, as well as lions, buffalo, and a wide range of plains game.
Victoria Falls
Victoria Falls, known locally as Mosi-oa-Tunya or “The Smoke That Thunders,” is one of the most spectacular waterfalls in the world. Located on the Zambezi River between Zimbabwe and Zambia, the Falls create a dramatic curtain of water that plunges into a series of deep gorges below. Visitors can explore rainforest paths along the edge of the falls, enjoy river cruises on the Zambezi, and experience a variety of adventure activities in the surrounding area.
