Description
Days 1-7
Cape Town/South Africa/Namibia
Gain insight into the diverse lifestyles of Capetonians on a township tour. Stop at the remarkable Fish River Canyon, a dramatic gorge. Tread upon burnt orange sands in the arid area of Namib-Naukluft National Park. Follow nature walks among the dunes and saltpans, marvelling at the incredible landscapes. Colonial Swakopmund, a coastal oasis, brims with exciting optional activities like sand boarding.
Days 8-15
Namibia/Botswana
Travel along the windswept Atlantic coast to see the 80,000-odd seals at Cape Cross. Head to the giant salt pan of Etosha and camp close to floodlit waterholes that provide exciting nighttime game viewing. At Windhoek stock up on supplies before visiting the Okavango Delta. Its intricate floodplain of lakes and channels supports animals such as crocodiles, antelopes and hippos. Explore the waterways and islands on foot and by canoe.
Days 16-20
Botswana/Zambia
Elephants dot the savannah landscape of the Chobe National Park and big cats are not hard to find. An early morning game drive is a chance to witness predators in action and a river cruise reveals sharp-taloned fish-eagles scanning the waters for food. In Zambia, listen for the distant rumble of the impressive Victoria Falls.
Days 21-25
Botswana/South Africa/Johannesburg
Continue south through Chobe National Park, Nata and Francistown to Kruger National Park. There's perfect terrain here for a final glimpse of the Big Five as well as giraffes, springboks and zebras.
