Botswana and Zambia Discovery

15 days - from $9555

Discover the unique wildlife and serene beauty of Zambia and Botswana, and experience the splendour of Victoria Falls

This superb two-week safari takes us into some of the most undiscovered and prolific wildlife sanctuaries in all of Africa. We begin our journey with a visit to Victoria Falls (known as 'The Smoke That Thunders') before heading north to Zambia's premier game parks. We use flights on a number of occasions throughout this safari adventure, allowing us more time to enjoy the vast amount of wildlife in the different regions we explore. Spending six days in the National Parks of Kafue and South Luangwa ensures an incredible wealth of wildlife experiences. The parks are home to many species that are rarely seen in other parts of Africa, including the beautiful roan antelope and the majestic sable antelope. Their remote locations coupled with our use of intimate lodging ensures surprising and rewarding encounters. Botswana, a diverse country rich in culture and spectacular scenery, is home to the famous pristine natural wonderland of the Okavango Delta. Four nights in permanent camps situated in the heart of the game-rich Moremi Reserve and deep within the Delta, provide excellent bases for exploring the delta wetlands by 'mokoro' and open safari vehicles. In the Khwai River region we are able to stretch our legs with walking safaris. Add to this Chobe National Park, with its immense elephant population and magnificent sunsets, and you have a truly classic Botswanan adventure!
