Cape Town To Victoria Falls

20 Days - from $2990

Cape Town, the Panhandle of the Okavango Delta, Victoria Falls, Etosha and the highest sand dunes in the world

The journey from Cape Town to Victoria Falls is the most spectacular and diverse in the whole of Africa. Cape Town needs no introduction as a stunning city, but you may be surprised at the delights of Namibia: the Fish River Canyon, the second deepest canyon in the world; the dramatic Namib-Naukluft Desert; the towering sand dunes at Sossusvlei. Further north, Etosha National Park is an arid landscape interspresed with game-rich waterholes, where we have an excellent chance of seeing elephant, rhino and lion. The Panhandle of the Okavango Delta could not offer a more dramatic contrast and we experience some tranquil game-viewing in dug-out canoes before a river cruise and game drive in Chobe National Park. The climax of the trip is Victoria Falls, one of the most awe-inspiring sights in the world.
