Wonderful trip through the highlights of Namibia and Botswana with Victoria Falls in the mix

Unforgettable combination of Namibia, Botswana and Vic Falls

This 21‑day set group departure safari traces a grand arc through Southern Africa’s most iconic landscapes - from the mighty Victoria Falls and the waterways of the Okavango Delta to Namibia’s deserts, Etosha’s wildlife, and the rugged Kalahari. Travelling in small groups (max 12) aboard custom-built safari trucks and light aircraft, you’ll stay in quality lodges, tented camps, and family‑run guesthouses, with expert guides leading you on game drives, bush walks, mokoro cruises, and cultural encounters.

Ruth, Senior Africa Specialist, says: “This is the perfect trip for travellers who want depth and variety - huge ecosystems, rich wildlife, and immersive cultural experiences - all without compromising on comfort. You get the full Southern Africa sweep, but in a way that never feels rushed.”

The journey begins at Victoria Falls, then crosses the Zambezi into Namibia’s wildlife‑rich Caprivi region before entering Etosha National Park for excellent sightings around its famed waterholes. You’ll then journey south through Damaraland’s desert elephant country and the vast red dunes of the Namib Desert. Cross into Botswana for mokoro rides and bush walks in the Okavango Delta, followed by sunset cruises on the Chobe River. With time embedded at each location, flexible pacing, locally led conservation initiatives, and a rewarding mix of scenery, wildlife, and people, this is a truly comprehensive Southern Africa experience.

This journey is ideal for those who want to see and understand the diversity of Southern Africa without managing the logistics themselves. It’s a great choice for those who appreciate a sociable group dynamic, value time in each place, and want to combine Namibia and Botswana in one well-paced, expertly guided itinerary. If you’re looking for an in-depth trip with comfort, variety and insight - this is it.
