A luxury Botswana and Victoria Falls safari, this itinerary offers truly outstanding accommodation in some of the best game viewing areas in Africa. A definite splurge but totally worth it!
Begin with a stay at Royal Chundu River Lodge, a tranquil oasis on Zambia's mighty Zambezi River and the perfect location for a visit to the renowned Victoria Falls. Fill your time with river safaris, game drives, village visits, fishing, tours of the Falls and a host of other adventure activities. A luxury fly-in safari in Botswana is next, combining 3 distinctly different regions to maximise your experience. The exclusive Zarafa Camp in the Linyanti region and the famous, Mombo Camp in the Okavango Delta, are both in private concessions offering outstanding game-viewing opportunities. Enjoy some of the best guiding in Africa on game drives, boat trips and guided walks, or simply sit on your private deck and watch as elephant and lion pass you by. This holiday-of-a-lifetime concludes at the unique Jack's Camp, an authentic, 1940's style tented safari camp, on the edge of the vast and mysterious Makgadikgadi Salt Pans. Here you can expect expert guiding, friendly habituated meerkats, unique desert species, fascinating Bushmen culture, old-world safari styling and superb cuisine.
