Days 1-3 | Maun & Moremi, Botswana
You'll spend your first night in Maun relaxing from your international flights with the option of a stunning sunset cruise. The following morning you'll travel by road to the Moremi area and your safari accommodation on the edge of the Khwai River, which is the perfect base for mokoro safaris and game walks or game drives. No safari in Botswana is complete without a trip to Moremi as it has been described as one of the most beautiful wildlife reserves in Africa.
Days 4-5 | Chobe National Park, Botswana
Waving goodbye to Moremi, you'll take a short flight to Kasane which is the gateway to the Chobe National Park. Cruise along the Chobe River frontage for great game viewing, and rise early for a game drive through the Chobe bush. The cool morning temperatures make for great game viewing as the large numbers of animals move around before the heat of the day descends. Chobe National Park is famous for its big herds of buffalo and its massive elephant population. This is an up close and inspiring safari destination in Botswana and you will enjoy to the full on safari, especially as it has some of the highest game densities in Africa
Days 6-7 | Hwange National Park, Zimbabwe
Your final safari destination is Hwange National Park which you'll explore by game drive and enjoy a unique lunch at a hide overlooking one of the many waterholes in the park. Expect elephant in large numbers, and there’s great viewing of giraffe and a high density of lions. Hopefully you get to tick off all of the big five on this safari in Hwange alone. Your time in the park ends with a special safari painting experience, led by a professional artist, guiding you to create your own masterpiece whilst the sun sets over the horizon.
Days 8-10 | Victoria Falls, Zimbabwe
Continuing onwards, you'll leave the safari behind and be transferred to Victoria Falls in Zimbabwe, your base for the next two days. Here you'll enjoy a guided tour of the falls, a sunset cruise down the mighty Zambezi River at sunset, and a mouth-watering potjie experience.
