A journey where raw nature meets refined comfort, revealing the true essence of wild Africa.

Key aspects of this tour

Botswana, located in Southern Africa, is one of the densest wildlife regions in the world and a prime destination for eco-tourism. Its landscapes combine vast grasslands, rivers, wetlands, forests, and deserts, providing habitats for elephants, lions, leopards, African wild dogs, giraffes, antelopes, and a rich diversity of bird species. Botswana not only preserves its pristine natural environment but also prioritizes conservation and sustainable tourism, attracting visitors worldwide to experience the grandeur and mystery of the African wilderness.

Your African wildlife journey begins in the Okavango Delta, a breathtaking wetland where winding rivers, shimmering lagoons, open grasslands, and dense forests converge to create a rich ecosystem. The Khwai area, famous for its balanced aquatic and terrestrial habitats, is perfect for observing wildlife and capturing natural interactions on camera. Savuti, with its open dry plains and marshes, attracts lion prides, elephant herds, and predators, offering a glimpse into the raw, untamed African wilderness. Along the way, you may witness elephants crossing rivers, zebras and antelopes running across open plains, and other dynamic wildlife interactions that are both thrilling and unforgettable.

Next, visit Chobe National Park, renowned for its large elephant populations. On a Chobe River cruise, observe elephants crossing the water, hippos playing, and crocodiles waiting silently for prey. Morning mists and evening sunsets create golden reflections on the river, perfectly framing the park’s wildlife and landscapes. Whether cruising along the river or strolling along the banks, every moment immerses you in the harmony and power of Africa’s wild nature.

The adventure culminates at Victoria Falls, one of the world’s natural wonders, known as “The Smoke That Thunders.” Stretching 1.7 km in width and over 100 meters in height, the falls surge with power, creating misty rainbows and dramatic vistas. Walk along the viewing paths, cross suspension bridges, or take a helicopter flight for a panoramic view. Finish the day with a Zambezi River sunset cruise, observing riverside wildlife bathed in golden light. This journey is not only a visual spectacle but also a spiritual experience, blending natural power and African wilderness.

This 11-day safari combines luxurious lodges with mobile camps, allowing you to experience Africa’s wild landscapes comfortably. From rivers and lakes to grasslands and forests, each location offers surprises. Every wildlife encounter—from elephants crossing rivers to lions hunting—leaves lasting memories. Nights under the stars at a fire-lit camp showcase the ultimate synergy of luxury and wilderness, offering a comprehensive experience of Africa’s grandeur, mystery, and vitality.

Highlights

One of the world’s largest inland deltas, the Okavango is fed by rivers from the Angolan highlands that flow into the Kalahari Desert, creating a vast and vibrant wetland ecosystem. This habitat supports an incredible diversity of wildlife—elephants, hippos, antelopes, and abundant birdlife. The interplay between wet and dry landscapes forms a constantly shifting mosaic of beauty, making it an ideal destination for observing the harmony of nature.

Situated at the northern edge of the Delta, Khwai’s mix of grasslands, forests, and wetlands provides an ideal habitat for wildlife. Elephants, lions, leopards, antelopes, and colorful birdlife thrive here. Khwai offers an intimate opportunity to study the delicate balance between land and water ecosystems while learning about local conservation efforts.

Savuti’s dry plains, bush, and marshlands attract a high density of predators. Lion prides, hyenas, and leopards are often observed hunting, while elephants gather at seasonal waterholes. The wide-open plains and pristine water sources provide excellent opportunities for photography and wildlife observation.

Chobe is famed for having Africa’s largest elephant populations. A river cruise along the Chobe River allows visitors to observe elephants crossing, hippos surfacing, and crocodiles waiting for prey. Morning mist and sunset light create iconic African wildlife photography scenes.

Known as “The Smoke That Thunders,” Victoria Falls is one of the Seven Natural Wonders of the World. Stretching 1.7 km with a drop of over 100 meters, the falls create powerful sprays and rainbows. Visitors can walk along viewing paths, cross suspension bridges, or take a helicopter flight for breathtaking views, while a Zambezi River sunset cruise offers an unforgettable riverside experience.
