Botswana Luxury Safari - 11 Days

You will be met on arrival at Victoria Falls airport and transferred to your hotel.

The Victoria Falls is a sight not to be missed - the clouds of spray generated by this thunderous descent have resulted in a lush rain forest full of stunning wild flowers. This is truly one of Africa's most spectacular sights and the Victoria Falls village in Zimbabwe is the perfect base from which to appreciate it.

A host of activities are centred on four separate delights: the Falls, the magnificent Zambezi River, the surrounding Zambezi National Park and the Victoria Falls village.

A tour of the Falls is a must, the 'Flight of Angels' helicopter flight gives you the most amazing aerial views of the Falls, and when water levels are low the Devil's Pool will get the most hardened thrill seeker's heart pumping.

The Zambezi River has two characters - the wide gentle river above the Falls is a magic spot for sunset boat cruises or gentle canoeing, whilst below the Falls, the more adventurous can enjoy serious whitewater rafting, jet boating or bungee jumping.

Game drives, horse riding and conservation safaris are offered in the Zambezi National Park to view elephant and buffalo.

Children are not forgotten and canopy tours cater to all ages. A high tea amidst the colonial splendour of the Victoria Falls Hotel is a daily event and a carnivorous feast at the Boma Restaurant awaits the hungry.

After breakfast you will be transferred by private road transfer across the border to the Chobe National Park in Botswana’s north. Here you will explore the Chobe Riverfront, the section of the Chobe National Park which runs along the southern shore of the stunning Chobe River. Chobe Riverfront has very high concentrations of animals – especially in the dry season when the animals are drawn to the river. Chobe is famous for its huge herds of elephants which together with massive herds of buffalo often delight visitors. A cruise on the Chobe River will place you amongst the grunting hippo, the elephants wading amongst the reed beds and the most amazing bird life.

From your Chobe Riverfront lodge you will be transferred to Kasane Airport where a light charter aircraft will fly you in to the remote Savuti area of Chobe National Park.

This exclusive, remote wildlife destination, was made famous by the documentary ‘Eternal Enemies’ highlighting the dramatic struggle between lion and hyena in the area. Meander by the Savuti Channel, an ancient channel that only flows in periods of extreme rainfall, or try your luck in the stunning Savuti Marsh, a relic marsh that is watched over by seven rocky hills. Look for the predators and enjoy the large concentrations of wildlife attracted by the semi-permanent Savuti water sources. Savuti is one of Africa's best wildlife destinations.

From Savuti's 'international airport' your light charter aircraft will fly you to Moremi Game Reserve on the north eastern edge of the Okavango Delta.

The Moremi Game Reserve is one of the best wilderness areas of Botswana and includes diverse swamp and dry areas. The next two days will be spent searching for the wide variety of wildlife and birds that this area is renowned for, while absorbing the sounds and beauty of this region. Game drives in the early morning as the sun rises and in the late afternoon as the sun sets will be the norm.

The Okavango Delta is truly magnificent.

The maze of lily pad filled waterways, lagoons, vast grassy plains and palm-fringed, wooded islands is home to crocodile, hippo, elephant, lion, leopard, hyena, giraffe, wild dog, rare antelope and around 400 bird species. Your two night stay here is something you will never forget as you immerse yourself in the raw magic of the Okavango Delta.
