Summary Of The Route and Costs

Embark on an epic African adventure and enjoy sunset cruises, exciting game drives, peaceful mokoro excursions, elephant interactions and scenic flights as you journey across northern Botswana. It is a trip packed with memories and photographs from the moment you arrive.

Victoria Falls Safari Lodge is set high on a plateau which forms a natural boundary to the unfenced Zambezi National Park and is just 4 km from the majestic Victoria Falls. In addition to the daily complimentary shuttle service to the Falls, all guests are invited to enjoy a daily educational activity affectionately referred to as the ‘Vulture Culture’ experience.  Food is placed to attract circling vultures. This is an amazing experience as within 15 minutes the sky is heaving with over 100 vultures and other birds of prey.

Your stay in Chobe is at a uniquely placed lodge high on a ridge, offering superb views over the Botswana landscape. Take a sunset drive along the private road network around the lodge, ending at the scenic Baobab site with breathtaking sunset views accompanied by a sundowner drink. Photographers as well as nature lovers will love the landscape at this time of day, which is usually filled with elephants, giraffes and roan antelope to name a few.

Then its off to the Okavango Delta, where your time is divided between 2 camps offering different Delta experiences. Machaba Camp is built in the classic 1950s style, with luxury safari tents, en-suite bathrooms and romantic outdoor showers. From your private veranda you can watch the daily parade of animals coming down to drink at the river in front of camp.

You end your trip at Stanley's Camp, situated on a 260,000 acre private concession in the Okavango Delta, bordering the southern section of Moremi Game Reserve. The camp is situated in an exclusive community area and works with the local community creating an awareness and commitment to conservation, whilst offering a wealth of wildlife activities. The camp is the home of an unique elephant interaction - walking with orphaned elephants is an uplifting experience and one that will remain with you long after you’ve left.
