Introduction
Begin your journey with a visit to the magnificent Victoria Falls! Then tailor your safari with andBeyond’s exceptional Botswana lodges and camps.
Include up to three destinations or spend more nights at one or two destinations: Chobe National Park, Savute National Park and the Okavango Delta. A wildlife enthusiast’s dream, Chobe National Park is one of the top wilderness reserves in the world. From the striking Savute area to the beautiful Linyanti River, this vast landscape is waiting to be explored. The Okavango Delta undergoes an almost magical transformation every year and is a truly spectacular sight. The vast floodplain hosts an enormous range of wild animals, including the specially adapted sitatunga and lechwe antelopes.
Itinerary
Day 1 : Victoria Falls
Arrival transfer Victoria Falls to your hotel. Spend two nights at the legendary Victoria Falls Hotel commanding a prime location overlooking Victoria Falls. The epitome of colonial grandeur, the Victoria Falls Hotel was originally built in 1904 as accommodation for workers building the Victoria Falls Bridge. Enjoying a G & T or High Tea on the verandah is a must!
Day 2 : Victoria Falls
Enjoy a private guided tour of the Victoria Falls. You will understand why Victoria Falls is one of the seven Natural Wonders of the World as you tour the Zimbabwean side, with spectacular vantage points along the width of the Falls. Walk through the beautifully misty rain forest which flanks the Falls, stopping to marvel at the principal sites as it cascades to the depths below the Main Falls, Horseshoe Falls, Rainbow Falls, the Boiling Pot, Cataract Island and Livingstone Island. Stand and watch, feel and listen to the spray and thunderous noise, as millions of litres of water tumble over the Falls into a series of narrow gorges below.
Day 3 : Victoria Falls > Chobe National Park
Transfer from Victoria Falls to andBeyond Chobe Under Canvas where you will spend the next two nights. This fully serviced wilderness camp offers spacious East African style safari tent with comfortable beds, teak furniture, quaint bedside lamps and en suite bathroom including a flush loo.
Day 4 : Chobe National Park
Morning and afternoon game drives in open 4×4 vehicles with guaranteed window seats and uninterrupted views offer the best opportunity to spot the Big Five. A boat cruise on the Chobe River should reveal a myriad of wildlife drawn to the water to drink.
Day 5 : Chobe National Park > Savute
Light aircraft flight to Savute. Spend two nights at Savute Under Canvas. Savute, a remote and wild corner of the Chobe National Park, is situated south of the Chobe River. The area’s main feature is the mysterious Savute Channel, which flows and dries up in a manner seemingly unrelated to the rainfall. Dry and arid for almost 30 years, animals in the area were sustained by artificial waterholes. With the Savute Channel having started flowing again in recent years, the region has undergone a startling transformation, reverting to its natural lush and marshy state. Large numbers of wildlife have been attracted to this rejuvenated wilderness haven.
Day 6 : Savute Channel
At Savute Under Canvas your days are designed to thrill you with intimate wildlife experiences, and your nights to delight you with the romance of canvas under open African skies.
Day 7 : Savute > Okavango Delta
Fly by light aircraft into the Okavango Delta, a maze of lagoons and waterways in the heart of the desert. Choose three nights at one of three luxury lodges or tented camp to enjoy a full experience in this wildlife-rich hotspot of Africa: andBeyond Xaranna Okavango Delta Camp, andBeyond Nxabega Okavango Tented Camp, or andBeyond Sandibe Okavango Safari Lodge.
Days 8 & 9 : Okavango Delta
Activities during these wonderful days include game drives in open 4×4 vehicles, mokoro (dug-out canoe) trips on the waterways, bush walks, bird watching, bush breakfasts and sundowners.
Day 10 : Okavango Delta > Maun
Light aircraft flight to Maun to connect to your international flights.
