Tour Itinerary
Departing Windhoek we travel north through extensive cattle farming areas and bushland to the Etosha National Park, famous for its vast amount of wildlife and unique landscape. In the late afternoon, once we have reached our lodge located outside of the National Park, we have the rest of the day at leisure.
A pre night may be required as your tour will start early in the morning.
Overnight at Etosha Safari Camp.
The day is purely devoted to the abundant wildlife found in the Etosha National Park, which surrounds a parched salt desert known as the Etosha Pan. The park is home to 4 of the ‘Big 5’ – elephant, lion, leopard and rhino. Game viewing in the park is primarily focussed around the waterholes, ideal places to sit and watch over 114 different game species, or for an avid birder, more than 340 bird species. Exiting the park, we head to our lodge for the evening.
Overnight at Sachsenheim Guest Farm
After breakfast, we travel north-east towards Namibia’s lush Kavango region. We continue to Rundu, known for its rich selection of hand-made wooden crafts. With its magnificent woodlands and perennial rivers, the Kavango region contrasts sharply with the rest of Namibia. Large swathes of tall woodland, riverine forests, floodplains and reed-lined channels dominate the area. This is also the area where you will see many of the traditional huts and homesteads still in popular use today. At our lodge, we can enjoy an optional Sundowner boat cruise on the Okavango River.
Overnight at a lodge in the Rundu area
After breakfast, we follow the route of the Okavango River into the Zambezi Region. Most of Namibia is arid; however, this area is lush, the soil rich and the wildlife plentiful. It is a lively hotbed where one can see subsistence and cattle farming and the well-known traditional wood carvings. From the banks of the Okavango River directly at the footsteps of our lodge, we have a magnificent view onto the Popa Falls and also located close to the Mahango National Park where the following two nights are spent along the lush vegetation. In the afternoon we can enjoy an optional boat cruise.
Overnight at Shametu River Lodge or similar
After an early breakfast, we travel into the Mahango National Park. Being Namibia’s smallest but most densely populated National Park, the visit will be rewarding in terms of wildlife and bird watching. The Mahango Game Park has a high number of elephants, as well as fair numbers of antelopes which are scarce or not seen in other parts of Namibia. These include the roan and sable antelope, tsessebe, the red lechwe and several sitatungas.
Overnight at Shametu River Lodge or similar
We depart from the Mahango National park and travel across the Zambezi Region, to the lush woodlands of the Zambezi River. At the small town of Divundu, we stop at the Khwe San Village, where we can listen to the stories of Bushman culture and tradition, and see their acquired bush survival skills. Hundreds of elephants, large Buffalo herds and numerous antelopes roam these majestic riverine woods. With over 400 species of birds, this area counts as one of the best birding hotspots in the whole of southern Africa. After settling in you have the option to participate in an afternoon guided activity.
Overnight at Chobe River Camp
After breakfast, we travel across the border to Kasane, a small and bustling town on the edge of the Chobe National Park. Our room for the night is in a special corner of the African wilderness, where 2 mighty rivers meet, a wetland paradise that is a haven for nature and wildlife. In the afternoon, we embark on a guided Chobe sunset river cruise along the National Park to experience the multitude of game species found along the banks of the Chobe River.
Overnight at Cresta Mowana Lodge
Depart across the border to the vibrant town of Victoria Falls where we reach one of the most spectacular natural wonders – the Victoria Water Falls. The remainder of the day is at leisure before returning to your hotel.
Overnight at Shearwater Explorer Village
together with our guide, we discover Victoria Falls on foot. This dramatic event is accompanied by a deafening roar and fine spray that arcs up into the sky, giving the falls its local name: Mosi-oa-Tunya – the “Smoke that Thunders”. Afterwards, visit a craft market (optional), before returning to your hotel.
Depending on your departure flight, your guide today takes you to the Victoria Falls International airport.
