We bring you into the diverse ecosystems of South Africa, Zambia, and Botswana, all on one adventure! PHOTO: VINCENT GRAFHORST
We’ve combined three extraordinary
destinations for this wonderfully varied
safari. In South Africa, we’ll be on the trail of
the Big Five on the vast
savannas of Timbavati,
an exclusive private
reserve in the renowned
ecosystem of Greater
Kruger National Park.
In Zambia, we marvel at
the roaring spectacle of
mighty Victoria Falls and
take a sunset cruise on the great Zambezi
River (expect hippos!). Our adventure
concludes with a flourish as we explore
Botswana’s legendary Chobe National Park,
a true wildlife paradise famed for its massive
herds of elephant, and the wildlife Eden of
the Okavango Delta.
Days 1-3 Timbavati Private Game Reserve,
South Africa From our atmospheric lodge, we
head off-road in open-sided vehicles for up-close
views of lion, elephant, buffalo, rhino, and leopard.
Special activities here include night drives to look
for elusive genet and leopard on the hunt.
Days 4-6 Johannesburg / Victoria Falls,
Zambia We get astounding views as we hike
along the escarpment directly across from
famous Victoria Falls, and later, with a sundowner
in hand, we cruise the Zambezi at sunset to
look for wildlife and listen to the cries of African
fish eagles.
Days 7-8 Savuti / Chobe National Park,
Botswana One of the best-known wildlife
regions of Chobe, the Savuti area is 1,900 square
miles of prime game viewing territory. We 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 our
remote water lodge on a private island in the
Okavango Delta, we head out to view game
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 via Maun.
