Vic Falls, Chobe & Okavango

The Zambezi River’s Grade 5 rapids, swimming at the Devil’s Pool right next to the Falls, taking the “Flight of the Angels” over the Falls in a helicopter or microlight, and bungee jumping are all available in Livingstone, which is recognised as Africa’s adventure capital.

For breathtaking river vistas, sunsets on the water, and numerous elephant sightings, head to Chobe National Park. You will cross the river at a location called “Four Countries,” which marks the intersection of the borders of Zambia, Zimbabwe, Botswana, and Namibia. You will be escorted by a guide to guarantee a smooth transit through customs. Following the transport, you will reach Chobe Chilwero Lodge, a hilltop lodge with views of the Chobe River and its floodplains.

The second-largest wilderness reserve in the nation, Chobe National Park is well renowned for its estimated 80 000 elephant population. The scheduled afternoon safari excursion, which is typically a romantic cruise on the Chobe River, takes place after lunch and sometimes a little high tea (look out for families of elephants crossing, the leader testing the depth of the water and the babies kept safe in the middle of the group).

After witnessing a breathtaking sunset, you’ll head back to the resort, where a delectable meal is waiting. On game drives or river cruises, the next day is dedicated to monitoring big wildlife, such as lion, hippo, crocodile, and vast herds of elephant and buffalo. The whole spa facilities at Chobe Chilwero is reputed to be the best in the nation.

Your final stop is the Okavango Delta, where you will enjoy full seclusion, luxury, and tranquilly in a stunning tented camp. You are always accompanied by a knowledgeable guide, and quick, easy transfers are made by road and light aircraft flight.

The camp provides tranquil mekoro excursions (depending on water levels), enchanting bush meals, escorted nature walks, wildlife drives, and the extremely unusual chance to go on night drives. The opportunity to approach three semi-humed orphaned elephants, walk beside them, and even feed them is an optional extra that is highly recommended.
