Rhinos & Delta
The adventure begins in Khama Rhino Sanctuary where you’ll visit several waterholes that are prime habitat for white rhino, zebra and wildebeest. Driving on through the Kalahari you reach Maun - gateway to the Okavango Delta. You’ll journey into the waterways by mokoro (dugout canoe) and camp on remote islands in an amazing, unique ecosystem. Spending several days with the local guides gives you the opportunity to learn about their culture.

Wildlife & Zambezi
Using an open-top 4WD vehicle you’ll spend two days game viewing in Moremi Game Reserve. Its abundant wildlife includes elephant, hippo and buffalo. The Savuti Marsh grasslands are famous for large prides of lion, whilst Chobe NP supports vast herds of elephants. The finale is a visit to Victoria Falls with various optional activities available.

Don’t like camping?
If you prefer a few creature comforts at the end of your safari day then why not opt for our Into the Okavango adventure (ref. BH) following a similar itinerary to the Delta to Victoria Falls trip. The main difference is that Savuti is replaced with the chance to visit the ethereal Makgadigadi Pans. You’ll be accommodated in pre-erected tents in the Okavango Delta and the rest of your nights will be in lodges and chalets.

The Trip

Anyone in good health should be able to take part. There is no physical difficulty involved and any walks are optional. Some campsites are wild bush camps where facilities are very limited. You will be expected to put up your own tents. Whilst your Group Leader will prepare meals, your participation in general camp duties will nevertheless be greatly appreciated - after all it’s all part of the adventure!

Top Tips

A small bean bag makes a useful camera rest to help avoid camera shake when on safari. Brightly-coloured clothing is not appropriate as it is easily seen by animals and attracts insects; wear muted tones in natural colours (beige, khaki, olive but not army-style camouflage clothing) Take a woolly hat for the game drives, it can be surprisingly cold early in the morning and in late afternoon with windows or pop-tops open. The spray from Victoria Falls can go a long way. Take a plastic bag to protect your camera. Zambia uses the 24-hour clock; to avoid confusion always refer to 24-hour clock times when talking to local people.
