victoria falls and botswana under canvas

Your African adventure begins on the banks of the Zambezi. Transfer to Old Drift Lodge where your riverside Suite frames the mighty river. As the sun dips low, step aboard for a sunset boat safari - hippos surface nearby, the perfect welcome.

Feel the mist on your face as you stand before Victoria Falls - 500 million litres of water cascade over the edge every minute. Your guide brings the geology and legends to life. Later, track wildlife through Zambezi National Park or walk quietly through riverine forest. Unwind with a riverside dinner under the stars.

Watch elephants wade chest-deep into the Zambezi on your morning river safari. Crocodiles sunbathe on sandbanks. Hippos yawn, revealing enormous teeth. The afternoon is yours - perhaps lunch at The Lookout Café perched above Batoka Gorge, or simply relax at the lodge.

Cross into Botswana and arrive at Chobe Under Canvas – your intimate mobile camp that moves with the seasons. After settling into your spacious tent, head out to meet Chobe's legendary elephant herds in an afternoon game drive. That night, share stories around the campfire under a blanket of stars. Did you know? Chobe is home to Africa's largest elephant population

Wake to the sound of lions calling in the distance. Morning game drives capture predators at their most active. By afternoon, you're on the Chobe River with up-close views of hippos, crocodiles, and birdlife. Evening at camp with a delicious dinner under the stars. Wildlife highlights: Elephants, lions, leopards, buffalo, hippos, crocodiles

Another thrilling day of game drives and tranquil boat safaris exploring different areas of Chobe. Time to relax in your tent between activities or reflect on your adventures with the camp's wildlife journals and checklists. Communal bush dinner that evening.

One more chance to spot that elusive leopard or watch elephants splash in the shallows. Your guide tailors today's drives to your wishlist or revisits favourite spots. As the sun sets on your final Chobe evening, you'll understand why this place captivates travellers.

From your window seat, watch the landscape transform - dry savannah gives way to ribbons of water threading through islands of green. Land at Nxabega, where your guide poles you through papyrus channels by mokoro. Total silence except for birds and the gentle splash of the pole. Private bush dinner to welcome you to the delta. Unique experience: Glide silently through channels by traditional dugout canoe

On foot, the Delta reveals itself differently. Tiny reed frogs cling to lily pads. Your guide points out leopard prints in the mud. Game drives search for lechwe antelope and the shy sitatunga. Back at camp, the chef has prepared something special. Wildlife viewing: Sitatunga, red lechwe, elephants, buffalo, leopards, 400+ bird species

Another day blending mokoro rides, walking safaris, and game drives. Optional birdwatching or fishing activities for those seeking something unique. Farewell dinner celebrating your unforgettable journey through Botswana's wilderness.

Morning transfer via light aircraft to Maun for your onward journey, carrying memories of thundering waterfalls and tranquil delta waterways.
