Embark on an extraordinary journey through Botswana and Zimbabwe, exploring the diverse wonders of Africa. Immerse yourself in the breathtaking beauty of the Okavango Delta, where a labyrinth of waterways teems with wildlife. Venture into the vast Kalahari Desert, a land of ancient mysteries and stunning landscapes. Witness the awe-inspiring power of Victoria Falls, one of the Seven Natural Wonders of the World. This unforgettable safari adventure offers the perfect blend of wildlife encounters, cultural experiences, and breathtaking scenery.
Upon arrival in Maun, embark on a scenic flight to the vast Central Kalahari Game Reserve, the second-largest game reserve globally. This arid landscape, unlike the lush Okavango Delta, offers a unique ecosystem teeming with diverse wildlife. Encounter elusive species such as brown hyenas, aardwolves, oryx, bat-eared foxes, and ostriches. The best time to experience the Kalahari’s transformation is during the rainy season (January to April). Witness the stark desert landscape burst into life, with lush interdune valleys attracting thousands of springboks, gemsbok, ostriches, and wildebeest. Immerse yourself in the magic of the Kalahari through thrilling day and night game drives or embark on a cultural excursion with the San Bushmen, the original inhabitants of the region. As the sun sets, savor a delectable dinner under the starlit sky, accompanied by the enchanting sounds of the African bush.

This idyllic setting, surrounded by a canopy of palm, fig, and ebony trees, offers unparalleled opportunities for wildlife viewing and birding. Keep an eye out for the elusive Pel’s Fishing Owl and a variety of other avian wonders.
