Inspirational safari holiday to Zambia and Botswana
This unforgettable vacation seamlessly combines a fly-in safari in Botswana, with a trip to see the famous Victoria Falls, one of the 7 natural wonders of the world. Stay in authentic camps completely in harmony with nature and experience the area's upspoilt wilderness areas and exceptional wildlife. First, tick the Victoria Falls off your bucket-list and escape the crowds by staying at Thorntree River Lodge on the banks of the Zambezi River. Once you have been photographed covered in the spray from the Falls, embark on many of the area's adrenalin-fueled activities from white-water rafting to bungee jumping and helicopter flips.
Next, discover the drama of Botswana's two best wildlife viewing regions, the Linyanti and the Okavango Delta, flying between the two. Guided by some of the best guides in the business, you will have intense encounters with Botswana's iconic wildlife on game drives, walks, boat trips and moroko excursions. Both Linyanti Bush Camp and Khwai Leadwood Camp effortlessly bridge the gap between luxury accommodation and feeling like you're in the great African outdoors.
