Southern Africa Wildlife Safari BOTSWANA, SOUTH AFRICA, AND VICTORIA FALLS

Journey through southern Africa, a kingdom of extraordinary ecosystems and wildlife, on this wonderfully varied safari in three diverse countries. You’ll explore South Africa’s enchanting Timbavati, part of famed Greater Kruger National Park (and home to the famous Timbavati white lions), and in Zambia, view game along the Zambezi River and marvel at the stunning views of thundering Victoria Falls. Your grand finale is Botswana’s magnificent Chobe National Park and the Okavango Delta. Exhilarating game viewing by day, candlelit dinners at stylish safari camps and lodges by night, and the expertise of our safari guide extraordinaire—this is what safari is all about. Days 1-3 Timbavati Private Game Reserve, South Africa On savannas surrounding our atmospheric lodge, head off-road in open-sided vehicles for close views of the Big Five—lion, elephant, buffalo, rhino, and leopard. Special activities include bush walks with an expert tracker and night drives to look for elusive genet and leopard on the hunt.

Days 4-6 Johannesburg / Victoria Falls, Zambia Savor magnificent views as you hike along the escarpment directly across from Victoria Falls, and search for wildlife, including crocodile, along the banks of the Zambezi during a sunset cruise (and with a sundowner in hand). Days 7-8 Chobe National Park, Botswana In the legendary game-rich Savuti region of Chobe, track lion, leopard, hyena, and their prey, including large herds of giraffe, zebra, and antelope, and savor unparalleled elephant viewing, with herds numbering in the thousands. Days 9-11 Okavango Delta Flying right to remote Xugana Lodge, set on a private island in the heart of the Okavango Delta, game view by mokoro (canoe) in lily-filled waterways and enjoy open-air dining and crimson sunsets over the Delta. At night, listen to hippo sounds from the nearby lagoon. Depart on Day 11.
