With some of the world’s greatest wildlife, Botswana and Zimbabwe are perfect partners for a safari. Enjoy our guides’ knowledge and expertise as you explore two of Southern Africa’s most beautiful countries, with features such as rhino tracking, spotting endangered wild dogs, visiting the iconic Victoria Falls and taking a traditional African dug-out canoe trip.

Take in the spectacular falls, Chobe, Matobo and Hwange National Parks, a Lake Kariba houseboat safari, Moremi and the Okavango Delta, and so much more.
Highlights of the Tour
Victoria Falls: Superb viewing from both sides of the river as the almost-two kilometers of waterfalls cascade into the gorge below. Columns of spray can be seen from miles away. Its a must-see destination on this leg of your Zimbabwe safari.
Chobe National Park: Best known for its massive elephant herds – indeed some of the biggest in Africa – there is also an abundance of other wildlife for you to see in large numbers. Chobe National Park boasts some world class safari lodges that are the perfect places from which to explore and discover Chobe with game drives or boat safaris.
Hwange National Park: The reserve also has a great reputation for frequent sightings of the critically endangered African wild dog and other large predators, including lion and leopard.
Zambezi River: Enjoy spectacular sunsets and lake-based game viewing from the comfort of your houseboat, on this leg of your Zimbabwe safari.
Matobo National Park: The park’s main attraction is its population of both Black and White Rhino. One of the highlights here is that they can be reliably tracked on foot.
Makgadikgadi Pans: As the rain arrives, herds of zebra, wildebeest and other antelope make their way northwards to the Nxai Pan and are followed closely by the migration of predators, such as lion, cheetah and hyena.
Okavango Delta: The world’s largest inland delta, the Okavango Delta is a network of channels and rivers with thousands of islands lined with massive beds of papyrus. The floodplains stretch for miles and are the perfect environment to support abundant African game and hundreds of bird species.
Moremi Game Reserve: Described as one of the most beautiful safari areas in Africa, this reserve protects over 3,000 square kilometers of Botswana wilderness in the central and eastern Okavango Delta. Expect excellent game viewing year-round in Moremi, as the wide range of different habitats in this area supports an incredible array of game and birds.
