Botswana - Delta & Falls Explorer (10 days)

Botswana is a mecca for nature enthusiasts. From elephant-rich Chobe National Park to the flooded plains of the Okavango Delta, and the dry empty vistas of the Kalahari Desert, Botswana is sure not to disappoint. Add to this mix a glimpse of Zambia, which offers the spectacle of Victoria Falls of the Zambezi River, a couple days in Namibia, another unique African country with extreme landscapes, all while staying in comfortable hotels and lodges, and you have the ultimate African adventure!

• Day 1: Arrive Livingstone, Zambia
• Day 2: Livingstone, Zambia - Explore the breathtaking Victoria Falls from the Zambian side, or try some adventure activities - go white-water rafting or canoeing on the Zambezi, take an elephant-back safari, or even fly over the falls for some fantastic views in a "microlight", a motorized hanglider.
• Day 3: Kasane/Chobe National Park - Cross the mighty Zambezi River by ferry as we enter into Botswana. Kasane is our base for a visit to Chobe National Park, home to one of the largest elephant populations in Southern Africa. The best way to appreciate Botswana's largest national park and its thousands of resident elephants, crocodiles, and hippos, is on our included afternoon sunset boat cruise on the Chobe River.
• Day 4: Makgadikgadi Area - Travel south into Botswana to one of the villages near the bizarre salt pans of Makgadikgadi. If time allows, take the late afternoon tour to explore the fascinating flat landscape of the pans.
• Day 5-6: Okavango Delta - The Moremi area and Okavango Delta Excursion is an experience not to be missed. On our camping safari adjacent to the world's largest inland delta, enjoy game walks and traditional mokoro (dug-out canoe) excursions, marvelling at the wide variety of wildlife that call this area their home. This is truly an African experience!
• Day 7: Maun - Make the most of this morning for further wildlife and nature exploration in the fascinating ecosystem of the Okavango Delta. Enjoy the scenery on your flight back over the delta to Maun, and prepare for your journey across the Kalahari Desert.
• Day 8: Greater Kalahari (Gobabis) - Today is spent travelling across the western regions of Botswana, and into Namibia. We will travel along the northern portions of the Kalahari Desert throughout the day - this is a severely arid, barren, though awesome landscape. After arrival, embark on an included game drive to to the Kalahari Forest area in search of kudu, blue wildebeest, and small antelope.
• Day 9: Windhoek - Travel west for a short trip to the capital of Namibia. Take the afternoon to tour the historic city, visit one of Windhoek's many handicraft markets, and enjoy one final meal together with your group.
• Day 10: Depart Windhoek
