14-Day Rediscover Botswana Safari

On arrival at Victoria Falls Airport, you are warmly welcomed by your professional safari guide, who will assist with your luggage and introduce you to the adventure ahead. You are then transferred in comfort to your selected accommodation in Victoria Falls, where you can check in, unwind, and soak in the tranquil surroundings after your journey. Enjoy time at leisure—perhaps relax by the pool, refresh in your room, or take a short stroll around the property. Later in the afternoon, you are picked up for a memorable Zambezi River dinner cruise. As the sun sets over the river, indulge in a delicious meal served on board while drifting past scenic landscapes, spotting wildlife, and enjoying the peaceful ambiance—an unforgettable start to your safari experience.

A guided tour of the Victoria Falls on the Zimbabwean side offers one of the most complete and breathtaking views of this natural wonder. Accompanied by a knowledgeable guide, you walk through a well-maintained rainforest trail with multiple viewpoints, each revealing different angles of the falls. Learn about the history, geology, and local legends surrounding the falls, known locally as Mosi-oa-Tunya, meaning “The Smoke That Thunders.” During high water season, feel the refreshing spray as it rises dramatically into the air. The tour also provides excellent opportunities for photography, with panoramic views of the Main Falls, Horseshoe Falls, and Rainbow Falls. It’s an immersive experience combining natural beauty, cultural insight, and unforgettable scenery.

Chobe National Park is one of Africa’s premier safari destinations, famous for its large elephant population and rich wildlife diversity. Located along the Chobe River, the park offers exceptional game viewing with frequent sightings of lions, buffalo, giraffes, zebras, and numerous bird species. A highlight of any visit is the afternoon to sunset boat cruise on the Chobe River. This relaxing experience provides a different perspective of the park, as animals gather along the riverbanks to drink and cool off. Elephants are often seen swimming, while hippos and crocodiles thrive in the water. As the sun sets, the sky reflects beautifully over the river, creating a peaceful and scenic end to the day, perfect for photography and unforgettable safari moments.

A safari in Chobe National Park offers unforgettable morning and afternoon game drives, each providing a unique wildlife experience. The early morning drive begins at sunrise, when temperatures are cool and animals are most active. Predators such as lions and leopards may still be on the move, while elephants, buffalo, and antelope gather near water sources to drink. After a midday rest, the afternoon game drive resumes as the heat eases. Wildlife becomes active again, and the golden light creates perfect conditions for photography. Herds of elephants — Chobe’s signature attraction — are often seen in large numbers, alongside giraffes, zebras, and diverse birdlife. Both drives are led by experienced guides who track animals and share insights.

Elephant Sands is a conservancy in Botswana that drills boreholes to provide supplemental water for wildlife traversing the land escaping threats of human-wildlife conflict, poaching, and drought. Elephants and buffalos migrate between Hwange and Botswana across areas with natural and man-made waterholes. Elephants congregate at the natural waterhole right in front of the lodge, modified with man-made waterholes to sustain wildlife during the dry season, giving guests unmatched close-up elephant sightings from the lodge.

The Central Makgadikgadi Salt Pans offer a unique and unforgettable desert adventure in Botswana. After arriving in the area, enjoy an exciting meerkat experience, observing these curious and social animals as they emerge from their burrows and interact with their family groups. Guided by experienced local trackers, you will learn about their behavior, survival skills, and adaptation to the harsh Kalahari environment. Later, venture deep into the vast salt pans for an unforgettable overnight wilderness experience. As the sun sets, the landscape transforms into a spectacular panorama of golden colors, followed by a campfire dinner and sleeping under canvas beneath the peaceful African stars.

Maun is the tourism capital and administrative Centre of Ngamiland district and the seat of power of the Batawana people of Botswana. It is the gateway into the Okavango Delta, Moremi, and Kalahari.

You will have the opportunity to take an optional scenic airplane or helicopter flight over the Okavango Delta.

After breakfast in Maun, depart on a scenic drive toward the magnificent Okavango Delta through beautiful wilderness landscapes and mopani woodlands in 4x4 vehicles. Upon arrival near the delta waterways, board a traditional mokoro canoe for a peaceful ride into the heart of the delta, quietly gliding through narrow channels surrounded by reeds and birdlife. After the mokoro ride, enjoy an afternoon game drive en route to Kazikini Community Camp bordering Moremi, spending the night under canvas in the bush.

Enjoy a full-day game drive through Moremi Game Reserve, one of Botswana’s premier wildlife destinations.
