SAMPLE ITINERARY:


Days 1 & 2: NAMIB DESERT
The safari departs mid-morning from Lanseria Airport in Johannesburg and we reach our first stop at Sossusvlei Wilderness Camp where we spend our first 2 nights. Sossusvlei is where one finds the highest sand dunes in the world, with Oryx and Springbok antelope providing a contrast to the incredible desert scenery.


Days 3 & 4: ETOSHA NATIONAL PARK
The morning flight takes guests over the dunes of the Namib and over Sossusvlei itself for an aerial view of the dunes and then due westwards to Meob Bay on the shores of the southern Skeleton Coast. There is spectacular desert and Skeleton Coast scenery. We land at Swakopmund.

The group is then transferred to Walvis Bay harbour by road for a boat trip (weather permitting) out to sea which will allow guests the opportunity to view seals, schools of dolphins swimming alongside the boat and sometimes even penguins and whales. Following a delicious seafood lunch, the group flies up the coast before turning east to fly up to Ongava Lodge for two nights. This will be our base for our Etosha experience.


Days 5 & 6: OKAVANGO DELTA
We depart from Ongava for Maun in Botswana. From Maun the group flies onto Jao Camp in the heart of the Okavango and will enjoy the complete contrast from the Namib Desert. The waterways of the Okavango and the wildlife of this area are very special.


Days 7 & 8: MOREMI GAME RESERVE
From Jao, we fly to Mombo Camp for the game viewing highlight of the safari. Mombo Camp, famous for its excellent game viewing, offers abundant big game, and is arguably the best in Botswana.


Days 9 & 10: VICTORIA FALLS
After a mornings game drive, the group departs Mombo for Kasane and then onto Livingstone, the small town on the Zambian side of Victoria Falls. We overnight at The River Club and enjoy the sights and sounds of Victoria Falls.


Days 11 & 12: MANA POOLS NATIONAL PARK
Guests drive across the famous bridge across the Zambezi River with great views on to the Victoria Falls themselves. We view the Falls from the Zimbabwe side before flying onto Mana Pools and possibly the most scenic of all the parks on this safari.

Here guests can either stay at Chikwenya Camp or Ruckomechi Camp.


Day 13: END OF SAFARI
After our last game activity in the Mana Pools area, we fly to back to Lanseria Airport in Johannesburg where we land in the afternoon, giving guests enough time to connect onto their international flights - or travel onto places like Cape Town.
