Best of Botswana with Victoria Falls
An undoubted bucket-list trip, this extraordinary journey begins with the chance to see one of the 7 natural wonders of the world, the Victoria Falls in Zimbabwe, followed by some intense encounters with Botswana's exceptional wildlife.
At Victoria Falls, escape the crowds at Mpala Jena, a luxury tented camp on the banks of the Zambezi River in Zimbabwe. Here you will not only have the chance to experience game drives, guided walks, and boat-based activities in the Zambezi National Park, but also see the nearby Victoria Falls. In Botswana you will fly between private areas of the Linyanti and the Okavango Delta, two of the most pristine wilderness areas left on our planet. Selinda Explorers Camp and Duba Explorers Camp are perfectly placed for intimate and up-close wildlife viewing opportunities, from lions and leopards to elephants, lechwe, buffalo and everything in between. The atmosphere is one of bush elegance with a relaxed style, complemented by attentive staff, private, professional service, and fabulous food.
