TOUR DURATION: 9 NIGHTS
h Victoria Falls/Livingstone: 3 nights
h Chobe National Park: 3 nights
h Okavango Delta: 3 nights
DAY 1 h On arrival in South Africa transfer on to Livingstone
airport, Zambia, where you will be met and transferred
approx. 15 minutes to the Zambezi Sun hotel on the
banks of the Zambezi, just upstream from Victoria Falls.
Considered one of the seven natural wonders, and the
largest falling sheet of water in the world, Victoria Falls is
known locally as Mosi oa Tunya: the smoke that thunders.
Surrounded by national park, postcard-perfect photo
opportunities are endless. Enjoy three nights here in total
comfort and perhaps sample some of the many activities
available locally including fishing, river cruises and game
drives (all payable locally). Many excursions are available to
prebook, see p168-169 for details.
DAY 4 h Transfer by road to Kasane Airport in northeastern
Botswana where you will be met by a vehicle from
Muchenje Safari Lodge for the 40 minute transfer to the
lodge. Situated on the western side of the Chobe National
Park and the only lodge in the vicinity, it offers prolific
game experiences and stunning panoramic views.
Muchenje features ten thatched chalets, all with en suite
facilities and balconies. The main buildings house a bar,
lounge, lookout platform, dining area and library. The feature
swimming pool is built into natural rock formations and
provides welcome relief during the heat of the day. Spend
three nights here, with included activities ranging from game
viewing by 4x4 vehicle in the National Park to motorboat on
the Chobe River, or guided walking in the Forest Reserve.
DAY 7 h After breakfast transfer back to Kasane airport
where you board your light aircraft flight (Safari Air or
similar) over the magnificent and stunning scenery of the
world’s largest inland delta, the Okavango, arriving at
Camp Okavango for three nights. Set in the heart of the
permanent delta, which is one of the last truly unspoilt
wildlife areas in Africa and filled by distant rains in the
Angolan highlands that take up to six months to reach the
delta. Included game and bird viewing here is waterborne
either by traditional mokoro canoe or motorboat, and
guided walking on nearby islands is also offered. ‘Camp O’ is
home to 12 luxurious tents featuring tea and coffee making
facilities, en suite bathroom and deck, with a dining room,
expansive patio, bar, lounge, library, bird viewing hide,
hammocks, sun deck and plunge pool in the main area.
DAY 10 h Morning at leisure until your light aircraft flight
to Maun airport where you fly to Johannesburg for your
onward journey.
