Victoria Falls One of the largest waterfalls in the world

Enjoy your first day in Victoria Falls and seize the opportunity to go on some cool optional activities, such as wild water rafting, a helicopter ride over Victoria Falls, jump in Devil's Pool or canoe over the Zambezi River. Or explore the town of Victoria Falls with locals markets and shops. There's plenty of opportunities and you can even, if you feel brave enough, throw yourself out from a bridge, by bungeejumping of course!

Kasane & Chobe National Park Elephants in thousands

After Victoria Falls, you will enter the Kingdom of Botswana. First stop is Kasane which is a logic starting point if you opt in for a game drive through Chobe National Park. A place famous for it's huge concentration of the African Elephant. This is a great place to spot wildlife and if you're lucky, you might end up spotting all Big Fives! We can only recommend that you go for this!

Okavango Delta Camp in the middle of absolutely nothing

On the way from Kasane you pass through Gweta before going to Maun, the jump-off point for Okavango Delta. Here you will have the opportunity to take an optional sightseeing flight over the delta. You won't get disappointed by the astounding views! Jump into the mokoro and slide through the streams before setting up the camp in the middle of the delta. Enjoy a sundowner with the group by the campfire before going to bed.

D'Kar The heart of Kalahari

Jump back into the mokori, and leave Okavango delta. It's time to move on, and next stop is D'kar - the heart of Kalahari. Catch a glimpse of how the local San Bushmen adapted to the Kalahari Desert on an optional bushman walk. They will teach you about wilderness survival skills in a place that seems uninhabitable. A local experience that will leave an impression for sure.

Windhoek Time for volunteering

Last, but not least, on this itinerary is 2 weeks of volunteering on a really cool wildlife project outside of the Namibian capital, Windhoek. This project strives to rescue injured or orphaned animals such as lions, leopards, cheetahs, wild dogs, caracals, warthogs, antelope and baboons as well as a host of birds, smaller African mammals and farmyard animals. Spend at least 2 weeks surrounded by volunteers from all over the world and add some karma points to your mental account. Whether this marks the end of your trip or if you want to continue your trip is up to you. We'll help you plan your trip nevertheless.

Are you into safaris, lush nature, spotting wildlife, river deltas and camping under the stars, then this might just be the trip you're looking for. You will be travelling from Zimbabwe through Botswane before ending up in Namibia. Question is, are you ready?

The journey starts with a flight to Victoria Falls in Zimbabwe. This is, as the name implies, home of the majestic Victoria Falls! Spend a day to check it out and if you're brave you can opt in for a bungeejump from the bridge between Zambia and Zimbabwe or you can choose to check out the area from above on a helicopter ride.

Continue through Botswana where the first stop is Kasane close to Chobe National Park, which is home to the largest concentration of the African Elephant in the entire continent. Continue to Okavango Delta, the World's largest inland delta, where you will get a chance to sleep in the middle of absolutely nothing!

From Botswana you cross into Namibia, where you end your group trip in Windhoek. But fear not, the journey is far from over! In Windhoek we have arranged 2 weeks of volunteering in a really cool wildlife project. You can, of course, decide to stay longer if you'd like.
