Journey overview

Explore the magnificent landscapes of South Africa, Zimbabwe, and

Botswana on this captivating 11-day itinerary. Your journey traverses a

rich diversity of regions, and takes you to the exquisite Sabi Sands Game

Reserve, world famous for its spectacular leopard sightings and the

magnificent Big Five. This wildlife sanctuary is arguably the most

prestigious game reserve in South Africa. Experience the thundering

cascade of Victoria Falls in Zimbabwe, before taking on some

unforgettable adventures. Drop from above the lush foliage of the

treetops on a canopy tour, delight in a scenic helicopter flight as you

hover over the falls, countdown to your bungee leap into the Zambezi

gorge, before riding the Zambezi rapids on a thrilling whitewater rafting

adventure — the choices are endless. The tempo slows as you head to

Botswana, and discover the myriad waterways, channels, and sparkling

lagoons of the Okavango Delta. Spot the elegant red lechwe, and shy

sitatunga, adapted for a life in and out of water. Witness the prolific

wildlife of the area on game drives and guided bush walks. Your

adventure culminates against the backdrop of Table Mountain in the

vibrant, cosmopolitan city of Cape Town.
