Section 2Southern Africa is home to some of the continent's finest game reserves, and travelling overland means that we can stay right in the heart of the wildlife hotspots. Beginning at the magnificent Victoria Falls, we'll take a safari in Chobe National Park, which feels like walking into a wildlife documentary - all the animals you could ever hope to see are here. In the Okavango Delta we'll canoe through lush waterways threading through the wilderness, and you can get up close to the game in mokoro canoes. We head overland across the Kalahari to Namibia for a stay with the Bushmen, and camp in the superb Etosha National Park before travelling down the forbidding Skeleton Coast. We'll journey through the starkly beautiful Namib Desert, crossing into South Africa and ending our unforgettable trip in Cape Town.
Overland travel is an ideal way to discover the best of Botswana and Namibia as well as Victoria Falls in Zambia and Cape Town. Southern Africa is all about wildlife, with the Okavango Delta and Etosha National Park being some of the best places to take an African safari. In Botswana's Chobe National Park, known for its elephants, there is the choice of taking a boat or jeep safari. This trip is loaded with adventure activities: there are numerous options, ranging from elephant safaris and white-water rafting to quad biking through the dunes of the Namib Desert. In Southern Africa tourism is big business and it is important that we ensure that the local communities benefit from our trips. As part of our commitment to responsible travel, we will ensure that there is a community project along the way and that we allow time to visit small local communities, including overnighting in a local Bushman village.
