The adventure

Check out this compact, eight-day, action-packed itinerary including the very best highlights of Southern Africa. Soak up the presence of wildlife in Chobe National Park, visit a community rhino sanctuary, and witness the vibrant colours and epic scenery of South Africa, Botswana, and ZImbabwe on drives in the rugged group Lando. Camp underneath the big African skies and listen as the grass sways in the nightly breeze.

Arrive at any time. Tonight after a brief welcome meeting at the hotel, choose to experience Johannesburg with the group and attend an optional group dinner at a local spot.

Cross the border into Botswana and travel across the desolate landscape of the central-eastern part of the country to the wild bush within Khama Rhino Sanctuary; a unique community initiative in wildlife conservation. This is where the group will stop for the night and set up camp before time around the fire beneath a starry sky.

Enjoy a wildlife drive through the Khama Sanctuary, learning more about this special place along the route. Climb back in the Lando and travel through Maun where the land becomes more fertile the closer you get to the Okavango Delta.
