zambia & botswana
A legendary land traversed by the mighty Zambezi,
Zambia features breathtaking lakes, mighty
wetlands and incredible wildlife. Considered one
of the wonders of the natural world, don’t miss
Victoria Falls, experiencing the huge clouds of
spray rising up into the air as the six waterfalls
plummet to the chasm below.
In magical Botswana, drift gently up the Chobe
River in a motorboat, passing buffalos and
antelopes grazing on the bank. Look out for grey,
wrinkled foreheads bobbing above the surface as
Chobe National Park is renowned as one of the
finest places to spot graceful elephants wading
through deep water. Discover the Okavango Delta,
one of Africa’s great natural wonders, and explore a
maze of lagoons in a traditional mokoro canoe,
catching glimpses of hippos and crocodiles
wallowing in the water. After an amazing day, stay
in one of our mobile camps and sleep in the
wilderness, sharing stories around the campfire
under a magical star-lit sky.
We’re passionate about helping you experience a
true African adventure in style and comfort –
waking up to the calls of the animals in luxurious
lodges and winding down watching fiery sunsets in
deluxe campsites or riverside retreats. Whichever
you choose, our expert guides will help you
experience the heart of these incredible countries.
