Adult Group Holidays Moderate Special Interest Wildlife Wilderness Photography

The best game parks in Southern Africa and stunning Victoria Falls.

Sunset Cruise on Chobe River, Botswana

Southern Africa is sometimes overlooked for game viewing, but the diversity in wildlife and scenery in its game parks is second to none. Starting in stunning Victoria Falls and visiting three game parks in three countries, this trip features the very best of Southern Africa.

We begin our journey in Victoria Falls, which has many optional activities including one of the world's highest bungy jumps, sunset cruises, high-adrenaline white-water rafting and, of course, time to spend by the spectacular waterfall.

We continue into Botswana, spending time in Chobe National Park, known for its large elephant population; the Chobe River front offers spectacular game viewing, both by boat and from the shore. We continue on to explore the incredible Okavango Delta, travelling on the waterways by mokoro, a traditional wooden dug-out canoe. We finish our time in Botswana visiting the Makgadikgadi Pans which in addition to having an incredible landscape, are home to herds of wildebeest and zebra, as well as hyena, cheetah and plains game.

Crossing back into Zimbabwe, we visit Matobo National Park. Matobo is home to both the Black and White rhino, as well as the Black eagle. Our journey finishes in Kruger National Park, one of the largest game parks in Africa, offering a great variety of wildlife and excellent game viewing.

 

What makes this trip responsible?

Most of the tour is spent camping which reduces our energy consumption for the whole trip. We also source all of the food used while camping locally. Furthermore, whilst camping, the leaders ensure that we minimise impact as much as possible by such things as clearing up camping areas after use. 
We pay the mandatory park fees which contribute to conservation of the parks and surrounding areas.
