Week 1
Cape town is South Africa’s oldest city, and undoubtedly a great place to start our safari. It lies in the most spectacular setting between Table Mountain and the great Atlantic Ocean. You will have a day at leisure in Cape Town, allowing you time to explore all the hotspots, restaurants bars, museums and stunning shops. We will depart the following morning for Lamberts Bay an attractive fishing town on an un-spoilt stretch of coastline. Our first border crossing is into Namibia where we head for the awesome Fish River Canyon and the Ais Ais thermal springs. We spend 2 nights here so there is ample time to take in a beautiful sunrise over the canyon, as well as a soak in the hot springs. We continue on to the Namib Naukluft National Park and the giant sand dunes of Sossusvlei. This is one of the world’s oldest deserts, offering over 130 million years of natural wonder. Climb the dunes for an unforgettable sunrise. Adventure activities abound, including guided walks, hot air ballooning and light aircraft flights.

Week 2
Two nights at Swakopmund, the delightful Bavarian-style town, situated snugly between sea and desert. Great beaches, deep-sea fishing, quad biking, dune boarding, flights over the desert, plus an array of shops, bars and restaurants await you. In Swakopmund you are free to explore at your leisure or partake in the many optional activities.

Leaving Swakopmund we journey through the classic Namibian scenery to the fabulous Etosha National Park. This is Namibia’s premier game park, dominated by shimmering white saltpans and an abundance of game. During 3 included drives you will have a chance to see elephant as well as black rhino, lion and leopard. Etosha also has the unique attraction of floodlit water holes, which are excellent for evening game viewing.

Week 3
We leave Etosha for the stunning Waterberg Plateau National Park. It is renowned for its incredible rock formations and guided walks and trails.
Continuing on into Botswana’s Okavango Delta - probably the most precious wetlands in the world – and a playground for Africa’s big game. The Delta is an incredible maze of inland waterways, lagoons and WildLife. We’ll be on safari ‘makoro’ style, poled gently along in canoes. Next we head via Nata and the Makgadikgadi Saltpans the Chobe National Park and home to the world’s largest elephant herds. Few countries can offer such an amazingly diverse WildLife experience. We overnight at our riverside lodge right on the edge of the park.

The following day a guided river cruise provides an opportunity to get close and personal with elephant, hippo and crocodile.
A short distance away is the spectacular Victoria Falls, which has to be the greatest natural wonder of them all!
