Inspirational safari holiday to Zambia, Zimbabwe and Botswana
A solo exploration of two of Africa's best safari regions, including Botswana's Okavango Delta and Zimbabwe's Hwange National Park. There's also the chance to see the iconic Victoria Falls. It's the best of both worlds, where you can join the staff and other guests on activities, at hosted meals and at pre-dinner drinks around the campfire, whilst also luxuriating in 'me' time, in the form of spa treatments, and lounging at camp enjoying the views. Begin by flying in a light aircraft over the spectacular Okavango Delta, getting a bird's eye view of its lush waterways and wildlife.
During your stay at Khwai Leadwood Camp in the Okavango Delta you will experience shared day and night game drives, walks and mokoro safaris (dug-out canoes), all in search of Africa's big attractions - lion, cheetah, leopard, wild dog, elephant, buffalo, hippo, giraffe and many more. You will then cross the border into Zambia to tick the Victoria Falls off of your bucket list. During your stay at Thorntree River Lodge you can simply relax looking out over the Zambezi River or enjoy a host of activities from tours of the Falls, village visits and sunset cruises to water white rafting and bungee jumping. The list is endless. Complete this very diverse solo holiday with another fly-in safari at Somalisa Camp in Zimbabwe's Hwange National Park, known as the 'land of the giants' for its big elephant herds. Game drives and guided walks are led by qualified and passionate guides who will share their knowledge and love of the bush with you. For first-time solo safari goers, trust your Mahlatini expert to plan a seamless and safe trip where you will be guided and looked after by our trusted partners on the ground.
