Why You'll Love this Tour

Start your ultimate safari journey in Zimbabwe at the spectacular Victoria Falls, one of the Seven Natural Wonders of the World !

From the roar of the Falls, cross into Botswana for two wildlife-rich experiences. First, enjoy breathtaking sunsets and exceptional game viewing on the banks of the Chobe River in Chobe National Park, famous for its immense elephant population.

Next, drive into Zimbabwe to the ancient, granite-domed wilderness of Matobo National Park to track the endangered rhinoceros. Continue your safari adventure in Hwange National Park, searching for colossal herds of elephants and diverse wildlife.

Crossing back into South Africa, you’ll travel to the Mapungubwe World Heritage Site. Here, explore the historical heart of the Limpopo region, surrounded by ancient Bushman paintings and massive, iconic Baobab trees.

Your journey culminates with two of South Africa’s most famous destinations. Spend time on thrilling game drives in Kruger National Park, home to the majestic Big Five, before concluding your tour with the dramatic cliffs and viewpoints of the beautiful Panorama Route.
