This two-country adventure, which includes Zimbabwe and Botswana, offers a wonderfully varied safari experience. Start off at Victoria Falls, where you can take in the glorious waterfall and enjoy activities on the Zambezi River. Next, you’ll cross the border into Chobe, famous for its elephant. Finally, you’ll fly to the watery wonderland of the Okavango Delta.
After clearing immigration and customs at Victoria Falls Airport, you will be met by a representative who will transfer you to Batonka Guest Lodge, situated in the heart of Victoria Falls. Settle in and let your adventure begin.
The day is yours to spend at your leisure. Enjoy the variety of activities around Victoria Falls, such as a tour of the falls, where you can witness ‘The Smoke that Thunders’, a canoe trip long the mighty Zambezi (additional cost) or a microlight adventure over the falls (additional cost), to name just name a few. The choice is yours!
Today you will be transferred to Chobe Bakwena Lodge for your two-night stay. This is an intimate, privately owned eco-lodge on the banks of the Chobe River, where you can enjoy two activities per day – focused on both land and water-based safaris. In between, relax around the natural swimming pool or enjoy a well deserved siesta.
Early morning and afternoon drives ensure every game drive box is ticked. Experienced guides with extensive knowledge of Chobe National Park provide an entertaining and educational addition to your safari. Alternatively, float in a 24-seater boat, past creatures great and small, while you are in awe of the break of dawn with a strong brewed coffee in hand, or swirling a gin and tonic as you watch the setting sun.
Today you will be transferred to Kasane Airport for your scheduled flight to Khwai Private Reserve. Upon arrival, you will be met by a guide who will transfer you to Hyena Pan Camp for your three-night stay. Located next to the only permanent source of water for miles around, a true wildlife magnet, you don’t even need to leave the comfort of your room for top-notch wildlife watching.
Rise and shine to enjoy a morning game drive along the banks of the Khwai River. Relax at the lodge or enjoy cooling off in the pool before spending the afternoon on a game drive through part of the 200 000-ha private concession that Hyena Pan calls home. After a hard day’s game viewing, settle down in the open-air boma to watch the fire crackle while you listen to the sounds of the night…
Today, enjoy a guided walk from the camp and get a new perspective on your surroundings! Why not adventure to the new underground hide, which offers a spectacular vantage point of Elephant’s Pool. Situated about 20 minutes from camp, here you’ll have the chance to watch elephant, zebra, giraffe, wild dog and other wildlife as they come to cool off and rehydrate. This is a wonderful experience and a photographer’s dream.
Today you will be transferred to the airstrip for your scheduled flight to Maun, in time for your international flight back home.
