17 Day Windhoek to Victoria Falls Classic Safari

We head to your accommodation in the Namib Desert after leaving Windhoek. We spend the afternoon lounging by the pool or participating in the optional activities that our lodge offers.

It is necessary to start early in the morning. Arriving just after dawn in Namib Naukluft National Park. The drive to Sossusvlei across the dune belts and the quick hike to Deadvlei are the highlights of today. We head back to our resort after visiting Sesriem Canyon. Have a relaxing afternoon. Enjoy a four-course meal outside under the stars during the summer.

Following breakfast, we proceed via the Gaub and Kuiseb canyons, the “gamadoelas” (loosely translated badlands), and approach Solitaire on the outskirts of Namib Naukluft National Park. We reach the Atlantic Ocean and the famous RAMSAR World Heritage Site, Walvis Bay Lagoon. We continue on the picturesque path until we arrive in Swakopmund, where we spend the remainder of the day relaxing.

Proceed via Uis and into the Damaraland after passing the Brandberg, Namibia’s tallest peak (2,579m). We spend the rest of the day relaxing after arriving at our lodge in the afternoon. Take a beautiful nature drive via the Otjimboyo Concession on your way to the Brandberg the next day. We may come upon the elusive desert elephant if we continue into the arid Ugab riverbed. Have a simple picnic lunch on the way.

An exciting day spent in Twyfelfontein, a UNESCO Heritage Site where over 2,500 images were painted and engraved by Bushman cultures approximately 6,000 years ago! Following our tour of the neighboring Living Museum of the Damara, we go on to the Petrified Forest, a geological wonder. We continue our journey to Etosha National Park. Enjoy a full-day guided game drive in the park the following morning.

You spend the entire day on a game drive in Etosha National Park with your guide today. We next proceed to our resort in the Ovamboland, where we spend the remainder of the afternoon relaxing.

Once breakfast is finished, head northeast toward the Kavango region. The largest known meteorite in the world, Hoba Meteorite, is where we halt. A sundowner boat tour on the Okavango River is an optional activity at our camp.

Proceed into the Zambezi Region after breakfast. We can take an optional boat ride on the Okavango River in the late afternoon. We enter Mahango National Park following an early breakfast.

We cross the Zambezi River after leaving Mahango National Park. These magnificent riverine forests are home to herds of buffalo, elephants, and antelope. This region is one of the greatest birding hotspots in all of southern Africa, home to more than 400 different kinds of birds. An optional afternoon guided activity is available for you to take part in.

Following breakfast, we cross the Botswana border and arrive in Kasane, which is the entrance of Chobe National Park. We take a Chobe River boat excursion this evening.

Cross the border to Victoria Falls, a bustling town in Zimbabwe. You have the rest of the day to yourself. On the next day, we go to the Victoria Waterfalls. A range of optional activities are available throughout the afternoon.

The tour comes to an end today. Your guide will take you to the Victoria Falls International Airport, depending on your flight of departure.
