Discover Zimbabwe and Botswana

A day-by-day breakdown of what to expect and where you'll be staying.

---

Day 1, Johannesburg to Kruger National Park

We depart Johannesburg and travel to the Mpumalanga region of South Africa - meaning 'place of the rising sun'. We enter the Kruger region and have the option of trying out a sunset game drive.

Day 2, Kruger National Park

Game Drives and animal spotting take up our day with the odd stop for lunch or a swim if the weather allows.

Day 3, Kruger National Park to Great Zimbabwe Ruins

We enter Zimbabwe and travel to Masvingo and the Great Zimbabwe Ruins. These well preserved ruins date back to the 11th century and are some of the oldest and largest stone structures in Southern Africa and we take time to explore them on foot.

Day 4, Great Zimbabwe Ruins to Matopos National Park

Moving on to Bulawayo and the Matopos National Park. This afternoon we can explore San Bushman rock paintings and the next morning World's View and the site of Cecil John Rhodes' grave. Hopefully we will also see some Rhino here.

Day 5 to 6, Matopos National Park to Hwange National Park

A local Nhanzwa chief gave Hwange National Park its name and today the park is famed for its large elephant population. We explore the park with our local guide, on game drives, for the next couple of days.

Day 7, Hwange National Park to Victoria Falls

An early morning game drive is a great way to start the day. After lunch we are Victoria Falls bound - home of the magnificent, stunning water fall with the same name. Here we spend a bit of time organising activities for the next couple of days.

Day 8, Victoria Falls

Spend today walking around this little town with its BIG waterfall, rest by the pool, write your postcards, shop or chill out at a little cafe. If that sounds too relaxing then finish off the adventure activities you haven't tried yet!

Day 9, Victoria Falls to Chobe National Park

This morning we depart Victoria Falls and after a short drive cross the border of Zimbabwe into Botswana. We set up camp for the night at the banks of the Chobe River and prepare for our first night under Botswana's star-filled skies. Chobe is renowned for the large herds of elephant around the Chobe River so bring plenty of spare film!

Day 10, Chobe National Park to Nata

We travel south to the town of Nata - a bird lover's paradise! Due to the nearby Nata sanctuary and Makgadikgadi Pans the birdlife in this area is truly spectacular

Day 11, Nata to Maun

A short drive takes us from Nata, across the edge of the Pans to our next destination of Maun - base for Okavango Delta excursions.

Day 12, Maun to Okavango Delta

You have the opportunity to take a 3 day / 2 night excursion into the Delta. You travel in local transport and then in mokoros, the local dug out canoes, which are poled by local guides through the winding waterways. These local canoes are a perfect way to navigate this waterway wonder - the biggest inland Delta in the world. Your guides will select a place out in the bush to set up camp. An afternoon game walk will allow you to experience the Delta wilderness in all its glory.

Day 13, Okavango Delta

Early morning and late afternoon game walks give you time in the middle of the day to relax, chill out and enjoy your surroundings. Why don't you have a go at poling your own mokoro? It is not as easy as it looks!

Day 14, Okavango Delta to Maun

Today we return to Maun, however, you will have the chance for an early morning game walk before packing up camp. There is also the option of a scenic flight over the Delta in the afternoon - the best way to appreciate the expanse of waterways you have travelled through.

Day 15, Maun to Khama Rhino Sanctuary

We drive south and visit the Khama Rhino Sanctuary, established to breed with both White- and Black Rhino. We take a game drive to view these amazing creatures as well as other grazing animals.

Day 16, Khama Rhino Sanctuary to Johannesburg

We make our way south to the bustling city of Johannesburg where our tour will come to an end.
