Introduction
This is a journey for those looking for the ultimate African safari.
Zambia and Botswana combined offer truly wild experiences including excellent predator viewing in remote and diverse locations. Accommodation is of the very best standard featuring hand-picked lodges and luxury tented camps with personal and friendly service. South Luangwa National Park is a hidden gem, the home of walking safaris and tented camps. Visit the natural wonder of the Victoria Falls, before travelling to Chobe National Park offering the big five as well as the largest concentration of elephants in one area. To top off a superb tour, end with five nights at a combination of two exceptional lodges in the Okavango Delta, where daily game drives intersperse with bush breakfasts, ‘sundowners’ around a waterhole, and special surprises from the staff at your ‘home away from home’. You will come home with magical memories and the desire to return again!
