This action-packed 11-day journey combines wildlife, culture, and breathtaking landscapes across Zimbabwe and Botswana. Stand in the mist of Victoria Falls, enjoy a vibrant Simunye Theatre performance, and savor a home-cooked Zimbabwean feast. Safari in Hwange and Chobe National Parks for lions, elephants, and rhinos. Glide through the Okavango Delta by mokoro for close-up wildlife encounters. Includes guided bush walks and authentic local experiences – the perfect Africa adventure.
The thundering mist of Victoria Falls and the labyrinthine waterways of the Okavango Delta serve as the stage for this 11-day high-impact safari expedition.
Provided by Chobe Tours, this journey transitions from the adrenaline-fueled landscapes of Zimbabwe to the wildlife-rich floodplains of Botswana.
You move from the educational discovery of painted dog conservation to an active immersion in mokoro (traditional canoe) excursions, experiencing an environment where community-led dining and "Big Five" encounters define the week's energy.
Because this is a highly curated small-group activity limited to 16 travelers, you should secure your 2026/2027 safari slot early to ensure a seat in the safari vehicle for your southern African odyssey.
Expect a "spectacular," well-paced, and deeply social immersion into the heart of the African bush. The transition from the lodge to the safari vehicle is managed by a Chief Experience Officer (CEO), ensuring that even the border crossings feel seamless. The environment is one of monumental wildlife, where the combination of "Big Five" sightings and community-supported projects provides a necessary refresh for the modern traveler. Note that Southern Africa seasons are extreme: winters (May-Oct) are cold at night, while summers are intensely hot.
When in the Okavango Delta, stay still and let your poler (guide) lead; our agency finds that travelers who remain quiet and observant enjoy a much higher vertical standard of birdwatching and hippo sightings.
If your budget allows, pre-book the Doors-off Scenic Flight in Maun; the vertical standard of the 2026/2027 Delta view is best captured from the air, where the "hippo highways" become visible.
Buy a souvenir at the conservation center; the vertical standard of 2026 wildlife protection depends on these local funds, and it directly supports the rehabilitation of injured dogs.
Arrive at your start hotel by 3:00 PM on Day 1; the welcome meeting and Lusumpuko dinner are necessities for setting the group's "good vibes" for the next 11 days.
