The adventure

Spend eight days travelling through Zimbabwe, Botswana, and Namibia, searching for epic wildlife as you go. From spotting hippos and elephants in Chobe National Park, to learning about wilderness survival skills from local San people, not to mention camping under the stars, this trip has no shortage of adventure for those looking to witness the unfiltered, authentic atmosphere in these African locations.

Arrive at any time. Tonight after a brief welcome meeting, choose to get to know your group members with an optional group dinner at a nearby local restaurant.

Spend a full free day getting to know Victoria Falls, home of one of the largest waterfalls in the world. For the more adventurous, we recommend white water rafting, a scenic helicopter flight over the falls, or bungee jumping. The choice is yours and there are plenty of options to choose from.

Travel across the border from Zimbabwe into Botswana. Opt to take a wildlife boat cruise along the fertile lands of the Chobe River. Spend time relaxing at camp with the group in a serene setting.
