Delta, Dunes & Falls (Reverse) (19 Days)

This magical safari starts in Livingstone, Zambia, where from our lodge perfectly positioned on the banks of the Zambezi River we visit spectacular Victoria Falls or 'Mosi-oa-Tunya' as it is locally known, meaning 'The Smoke That Thunders'. When you combine this with a visit to an area containing arguably the most amazing wetlands in the world, namely the wonderful Okavango Delta in neighbouring Botswana, the result is an expedition of extraordinary diversity. The Okavango boasts delightful water-based scenery, often in total contrast to the dry and arid lands which surround it, along with some quite exceptional birding – you don’t have to be an enthusiast to be soon enthralled - and the opportunity to see much of the wildlife which Africa is so justifiably famous for. Namibia is one of the great surprises of southern Africa, boasting some of the most spectacular and breathtaking desert scenery on earth. The great sand dunes of the Namib Desert, which rear over 300 metres above the desert floor, are a sight never to be forgotten. No visit to Africa is complete without viewing wildlife, the famous Etosha National Park provides the perfect opportunity to encounter a great array of animal and bird life, the equal of any in Africa. Add to this the rugged wine regions of the Cederberg Mountain and the cosmopolitan city of Cape Town, nestled in the shadows of the formidable Table Mountain, and you have comprehensive southern African adventure!
