Victoria Falls and Botswana Highlights

Arrive at Victoria Falls and transfer to hotel. Accommodation here is for two nights at Pioneers Victoria Falls on a bed and breakfast basis.

There are lots of activities available here. Visiting the Falls is a must and viewpoints are easily accessible on foot. For adrenalin junkies, there is white-water rafting, bungee and zip-wiring and for everybody, river cruises, helicopter flights and visits to the national park.

It is also possible to cross the bridge into Zambia and view the Falls from a different perspective.

After breakfast, drive into Botswana and the Chobe National Park. Accommodation here is at Chobe Elephant Camp on a full board basis. The Chobe Riverfront is an elephant mecca; home to the largest density of African elephants in the world.   It will leave you feeling tiny as giant elephant bulls stroll up next to your vehicle or snorkel alongside your boat. It will make you feel lost as hundreds of hippos and buffaloes crowd you out on the floodplains. It will put your heart in your throat as prides of lions stalk antelopes by the water’s edge, and it will leave you alone with your thoughts while the classic red sunsets melt over the river to a soundtrack of whistling fish eagles. A boat cruise is included. Other activities available include game drives, canoeing, village walks, etc.

In the morning transfer to the airport for your flight to Splash Camp located in the vast Kwara private concession within the heart of the Okavango Delta, alongside the Moremi Game Reserve. This exclusive setting amidst shady trees boasts permanent water and seasonal floodplains together with classic bush wilderness.

Twelve tents, two of which are family rooms, are set upon individual decks with spectacular views over a pan which attracts a variety of wildlife. All rooms are en-suite with double basins and indoor-outdoor showers. Simple yet graceful contemporary furnishings enhance the ambience of the camp.
Splash Camp’s main area has a lounge, bar, curio shop and plunge pool. Meals are served al fresco in the boma area in front of the camp looking towards the lagoon. 

After breakfast, transfer to the airstrip for your flight to Nxai Pan Camp with Makgadikgadi Pans National Park on its northern border. The vast Makgadikgadi Pans are the last evidence of a prehistoric super lake that was once found here, and today it is one of the last true wilderness areas left in Africa. Famous explorers, who passed through this region on their voyage to the ‘interior’, include David Livingstone, James Chapman and Thomas Baines.
