Your journey at a glance
Explore the magnificent landscapes of South Africa, Zimbabwe, and Botswana on this captivating 11-day itinerary.
Your journey traverses a rich diversity of regions, and takes you to the exquisite Sabi Sands Game Reserve, world famous for its spectacular leopard sightings and the magnificent Big Five. This wildlife sanctuary is arguably the most prestigious game reserve in South Africa. Experience the thundering cascade of Victoria Falls in Zimbabwe, before taking on some unforgettable adventures. Drop from above the lush foliage of the treetops on a canopy tour, delight in a scenic helicopter flight as you hover over the falls, countdown to your bungee leap into the Zambezi gorge, before riding the Zambezi rapids on a thrilling whitewater rafting adventure — the choices are endless. The tempo slows as you head to Botswana, and discover the myriad waterways, channels, and sparkling lagoons of the Okavango Delta. Spot the elegant red lechwe, and shy sitatunga, adapted for a life in and out of water. Witness the prolific wildlife of the area on game drives and guided bush walks. Your adventure culminates against the backdrop of Table Mountain in the vibrant, cosmopolitan city of Cape Town.
