Botswana - Sand Dunes & Waterfalls (Family - 14 days)

Southern Africa is a land of contrasts and extremes, from incredible sand dunes to sandy deserts, from semi-arid terrain to the beautiful Skeleton Coast, and from one of the greatest wildlife reserves on the continent to arguably the most famous waterfall in the world.

Namibia is the sparkling but largely unknown jewel of southern Africa. Since gaining independence in 1990 it has continued to enjoy political stability and still boasts an excellent infrastructure. This country offers some of the most powerful scenery in the world, excellent wildlife viewing opportunities and rich cultural history within its vast borders. Driving from Windhoek to Sesriem, we explore the spectacular and bewitching sand dune sea over two days and its like nothing most of us would have ever seen before. In Swakopmund, Namibia's adventure centre, we can take up the offer of participating in an adrenalin-rush activity or simply relax and absorb the unique culture of this seaside holiday town. Etosha National Park offers very special wildlife viewing experience in Namibia's harsh environment.

From here we head Chobe National Park - home to one of Africa's largest elephant population. Our final stop is Livingstone, in Zambia, where we make our way down to spectacular Victoria Falls - a fitting finale to this awesome safari. This specially designed family tour comprehensively showcases the incredible beauty and diversity of Namibia, Botswana and Victoria Falls, at a very relaxed pace.
