Journey Overview
Your expedition begins at the thundering Victoria Falls, which lies on the border between Zambia and Zimbabwe. Known locally as Mosi-oa-Tunya, translated to ‘the smoke that thunders’, this is undoubtedly one of the world’s greatest natural spectacles. Enjoy the charming and vibrant town of Livingstone where you can partake in adventures such as a helicopter flight over Victoria Falls, rhino-tracking, bungy jumping, white river rafting, and beautiful sunset cruises on the Zambezi River.
Next, you will venture to the beautiful Okavango Delta in Botswana where you will spend your days exploring the wilds of Botswana on thrilling game drives, walking safaris, and traditional mokoro excursions. Ignite your spirit for adventure, see majestic creatures in their natural habitats, and retreat with the comforts of your sprawling suite at Atzaró Okavango Camp.
Your journey concludes in Cape Town, South Africa, at the foothill of Table Mountain. Enjoy the sights, sounds, tastes, and rhythms of the Mother City at your own pace before heading home, already dreaming about your next African holiday.
