Trip Highlights

Why you'll love this trip

  • Soak up the ambience of the Chobe River with a sunset cruise within the national park. Keep an eye out – and your camera at the ready – for local elephants, cheetahs and lions on the shores.

  • Immerse yourself in the untouched wilderness of Botswana's Okavango Delta – you'll be staying on a remote island in a bush camp for an authentic experience. As night falls, the sounds of the African bush are unlike anything else.

  • Support local conservation efforts by joining local rangers in the Khama Rhino Sanctuary – the only place left in Botswana where both black and white rhinos reside.

  • Cycle through the colourful streets of Soweto in South Africa with a local guide and hear firsthand about the township’s history, including the events of the 1976 Soweto uprising against apartheid.

  • Start your trip in Victoria Falls – where a huge range of nature-based activities are on offer. Maybe take a scenic helicopter flight over the cascades or a river cruise at sunset.
