Your unforgettable eight-day journey begins at Victoria Falls, one of the Seven Natural Wonders of the World. After your arrival at Victoria Falls Airport, your expert guide will greet you and accompany you to the luxurious Elephant Hills Hotel, located just minutes from the Falls.

After checking in and enjoying a brief orientation, the rest of the afternoon and evening are yours to explore or unwind. Choose from an array of optional activities to suit your taste for adventure or relaxation. Thrill-seekers can experience the rush of whitewater rafting, bungee jumping, or zip-lining, while those looking for a more serene experience might opt for a scenic helicopter flight over the breathtaking Falls.

For a tranquil end to the day, consider a sunset cruise along the Zambezi River. As you glide across the water, you’ll have the opportunity to spot wildlife such as elephants, hippos, and crocodiles, as well as a variety of bird species inhabiting the Victoria Falls National Park. A refreshing sundowner drink and the stunning African sunset provide the perfect conclusion to your first day.

After a delicious breakfast, it’s time to see for yourself why Victoria Falls is one of the Seven Natural Wonders of the World. Take a guided walk around the Falls and soak in the sheer power and beauty of this incredible natural wonder. The locals call it “Mosi-oa-Tunya,” or “The Smoke that Thunders,” and it’s easy to see why as the roaring water crashes down into the gorge, sending up a fine mist that dances in the sunlight. It’s a sight that will stay with you forever.

The rest of the day is yours to enjoy however you like. Explore the vibrant African markets packed with beautiful handmade curios – perfect for a unique souvenir or two. If you fancy something different, take a stroll along the main street of Victoria Falls and pop into the charming European-style boutiques. There’s something for everyone here.

For the adventure lovers, why not keep the excitement going with more optional activities? Whether it’s another adrenaline-filled experience or something more relaxing, there are plenty of ways to make the most of your time.

As the day draws to a close, get ready for a real treat. Dinner at ‘The Boma’ is more than just a meal – it’s an unforgettable experience. With traditional African dishes, drumming, dancing, and storytelling, it’s the perfect way to end your second day.

After breakfast, bid farewell to Zimbabwe as your adventure continues with a scenic drive through Botswana to Namibia. The journey takes you past towering baobab trees that stand as ancient sentinels along the road, adding to the charm of the landscape.

Arrive at Chobe River Camp in time for the highlight of the day – an unforgettable afternoon cruise along the Chobe River. This is the best way to witness the incredible wildlife that calls the Chobe National Park home. Marvel at the world’s largest concentration of elephants as they gather near the water’s edge, and keep an eye out for various antelope species grazing nearby. Bird enthusiasts will be thrilled by the sight of some of the 500 bird species that inhabit the area, from majestic fish eagles to colourful kingfishers.

As the sun sets over the river, you’ll make your way to Chobe River Camp for the night. Your accommodation is a unique delta-style tent perched on stilts, blending seamlessly with the natural surroundings. Drift off to the soothing sounds of the wilderness, ready for another day of adventure tomorrow.

Wake up to the tranquil sounds of nature and enjoy a leisurely breakfast at Chobe River Camp. Today is yours to spend as you wish, whether you prefer to relax or explore the area further.

For those seeking a laid-back day, unwind at the camp and take in the stunning views of the surrounding wilderness. The peaceful atmosphere and connection to nature make it an ideal spot to recharge.

If you’re eager for more adventure, choose from two exciting options. Join a full-day boat trip along the Chobe River, where you can enjoy up-close encounters with the abundant wildlife that thrives along the water’s edge. Alternatively, embark on a game drive into Chobe National Park aboard a safari vehicle. This allows you to experience the park from a different perspective, spotting elephants, giraffes, predators, and a wide variety of birds in their natural habitat.

As night falls, return to Chobe River Camp for your second evening in this serene location. The camp’s unique setting offers a thrilling chance to hear the sounds of the wild—perhaps the deep rumble of elephants, the calls of hippos, the haunting laughter of hyenas, or even the distant roar of a lion.

After breakfast at Chobe River Camp, the journey continues as you head towards the remarkable Bwabwata National Park. This vast and diverse wilderness, often referred to as the “People’s Park,” is a haven for both wildlife and the local communities that coexist harmoniously with nature.

As you travel through the park, keep your eyes peeled for some of its most iconic residents. There’s a good chance of spotting Cape buffalo, elephants, and the striking roan antelope. You might also catch a glimpse of the tsessebe, oribi, and other graceful antelope species that roam these plains. Bwabwata’s rich biodiversity and scenic beauty make it a true gem for wildlife enthusiasts.

In the late afternoon, arrive at Hakusembe River Lodge, your home for the night. Nestled along the banks of the Okavango River, this charming lodge offers a peaceful retreat surrounded by lush greenery. Spend the evening relaxing by the water, listening to the gentle sounds of the river, and enjoying the tranquillity of your surroundings.

After a delicious breakfast, the adventure continues with a scenic drive to Etosha National Park, one of Namibia’s most famous wildlife destinations. Known for its impressive diversity of animals, Etosha is home to four of the Big Five: elephant, rhino, leopard, and lion. The park is also a haven for more than 114 different game species, including giraffes, zebras, and antelope, while avid birdwatchers can delight in over 340 bird species that make Etosha their home.

The journey takes you through some of the country’s most picturesque commercial farming areas, with a stop at the charming town of Outjo. This quaint town offers a perfect opportunity to stretch your legs, pick up a snack, or browse local shops before heading towards Etosha.

By mid-afternoon, you’ll arrive at Anderson’s Gate, the southern entrance to the park, and begin the final stretch to Toshari Lodge. Along the way, keep your eyes peeled—there’s a good chance of spotting elephants even before you reach the camp! After checking in and relaxing, enjoy a delicious buffet dinner in the lodge’s restaurant, where you can experience the singing and dancing of the local staff, offering a glimpse of the vibrant Namibian culture.

Please Note: Guests also have the option to stay at Toshari Lodge or Camp Okaukuejo for this night. Please enquire with us at the time of booking to discuss the which lodge would better suit your group.

A full day’s game drive, leaving early to enjoy the cool morning air, we drive through Etosha in the direction of Halali and Namutoni, enjoying the view of the massive Etosha Pan. We will visit several waterholes, where the abundance of wildlife is focused, with a chance to view up to 114 different game species, and for the avid birder, more than 340 bird species.
