From the verdant Kavango-Zambezi Conservation Area to the resplendent Kruger National Park, this itinerary sweeps you into a symphony of Southern Africa’s understated gems. We begin at Victoria Falls, where the Zambezi plunges in a roaring curtain cascade, then trace the river west into Namibia. As dusk is mirrored along the Zambezi’s breadth, a boat cruise reveals hippos and crocodiles basking in the sunset’s orange glow.

In Divundu, we explore along the Okavango river via boat to Popa Falls’ tumbling rapids, followed by a safari in Mahangu National Park’s tangled and dense wilderness. The Okavango Delta’s fringes welcome us from our sequestered lodging for the night, providing a spectacular view. Getting a closer look at the Delta, a sunset cruise brings us through mirrored channels. A daytrip to Tsodilo Hills unveils the cultural traditions of the land, alongside over 4,500 rock paintings across its quartzite towers.

We pause in Maun before venturing into Khwai Nature Reserve. In the flourishing greenery, expert guides whisk you away into the waterways by mokoro (traditional canoes). A full day safari out to the Moremi Game Reserve follows, where we will search for life within the grasslands and acacia trees, with a night at Elephant Sands in Nata providing an up-close encounter with elephants. Embarking on a Chobe River boat cruise, we observe animals all along its banks and channels before returning to the drum of Victoria Falls.

From there, we venture into Hwange National Park, a haven for elusive predators like lions and wild dogs. Sunrise safaris stir the soul, while a visit to the Painted Dog Conservation Centre showcases efforts to protect one of Africa’s rarest carnivores.

Southward, we reach Matopos National Park, where massive granite boulders ascend above valleys etched with ancient San rock art. If conditions allow, an on-foot rhino tracking experience brings us eye-to-eye with one of Africa’s most endangered giants. The stone majesty of the Great Zimbabwe Ruins follows, bringing stories of a once-mighty empire. At Mapesu Private Game Reserve, nature runs wild, from baobab-dotted hills to San cave art and on-foot explorations tracking cheetahs, rhino, and wild dogs.

Crossing into South Africa, Phalaborwa and Timbavati offer golden-hour game drives and guided bush walks in the Kruger region, followed by the scenic majesty of the Panorama Route with views like God’s Window, Bourke’s Luck Potholes, and the Blyde River Canyon. A full-day safari in Kruger National Park offers a fitting wildlife crescendo before heading to Johannesburg.
