9 Days, Botswana’s Jewels
From R72 425 per person sharing. Best time to visit: May to September
Overview
Zim (Zimbabwe), Bots (Botswana) and perhaps a bit of Zam (Zambia) is how the locals talk about visiting this region. This tour combines the iconic Victoria Falls with the largest concentration of elephants in the world in the Chobe National Park and one of the world’s largest inland deltas namely the Okavango Delta, a pristinely beautiful and unique piece of Africa.
We’ll optimise your experience according to your interests, expectations and time available.
Day 1 – 3
Victoria Falls
2 nights | The Victoria Falls Hotel
Many moons ago friends and I drove with my car to the Victoria Falls and did the white water rafting on the Zambezi River downstream from the Victoria Falls. You can imagine what happens when a river 1700m wide plunges 108m over the Victoria Falls and then gets channelled into a gorge around 40m wide. It was a totally exhilarating experience to put it lightly. Recently I revisited the Victoria Falls and took time to enjoy one of the most majestic falls of the world. It is a truly awe inspiring sight to see around 6000 cubic metres of water per second falling down the 108m precipice.
Victoria Falls town offers a true African Village feel with some colonial influence still visible.
Highlights:
Both the Zambia and Zimbabwe sides of the Victoria Falls, Tea on the Zambian banks of the Zambezi River, a Helicopter trip over the Falls, White water rafting for the young and strong at heart, Sundowner cruises on the Zambezi.
Day 3 – 5
The Chobe
2 nights | Chobe Game Lodge
We’ll transfer you by land to the Lodge. The game drives in the Chobe National Park and river cruises on the Chobe River are the ideal introduction to this special part of the world. Chobe Game Lodge is the only permanent game lodge situated within the Chobe National Park.
Highlights:
Chobe Game Lodge, the Game Drives, the River Cruises

Landing at the Moremi airstrip, your guide will meet you and transfer you by road to Camp Moremi where you can settle into your luxurious room.
