Wilderness & Wildlife

12 days - from $3230

Mokoro rides through Okavango Delta See Victoria Falls Wildlife viewing in Moremi and Chobe Camping in game reserves
This is a genuine wilderness safari through some of the best wildlife viewing areas of Southern Africa. We travel from the unique Okavango Delta to the magnificent Victoria Falls, taking in some amazing reserves en route. We explore the waterways of the Delta by mokoro (a traditional dugout canoe), an ideal way to absorb the peace and tranquility of this unique habitat while meeting the local Bayei tribe. Game drives and walks are also real highlights of this trip. The reserves are home to large numbers of elephant, lion, rhino and even the elusive wild dog. This is Africa at its most untamed and, with a visit to the mighty Victoria Falls, will be a holiday to remember.
