Itinerary
Day 1
Johannesburg
If you arrive a day or two early, we recommended booking an excursion to Soweto or the Apartheid Museum.
Day 2
Johannesburg/Serowe
Cross the border into Botswana and travel across the desolate landscape of the central-eastern part of the country to the wild bush within Khama Rhino Sanctuary; a unique community initiative in wildlife conservation. This is where the group will stop for the night and set up camp before time around the fire beneath a starry sky.
Day 3
Serowe/Maun
Choose to prebook a scenic helicopter ride through the Delta during your free time in Maun.
Day 4
Maun/Okavango Delta
On the way to the Delta set off on a wildlife walk and learn about tracking the animals while gaining more insight into their natural behaviours. Later, begin an exciting excursion deep into the Okavango Delta in a traditional mokoro (dugout canoe) and search for birds en route to the basic bush camp where you’ll set up camp and sing with the locals for the evening.
Day 5
Okavango Delta/Gweta
Choose to wake up early and watch a sunrise in the bush before traveling out of the Okavango Delta via mokoro through the channels. There will be time for showers while in Maun before boarding the Lando to Gweta, where the group will camp under the massive baobab trees. Free time will be had upon arrival to camp.
Day 6
Gweta/Kasane
The best way to appreciate one of Botswana's national parks and its thousands of resident elephants, crocodiles, and hippos is on an optional sunset boat cruise on the Chobe River. You can pre-book this on the checkout page, or through your Global Connection Officer or travel agent.
Day 7
Kasane/Victoria Falls
For the adventurous we recommend going whitewater rafting, taking a scenic helicopter flight over the falls, or bungee jumping with the waterfalls in sight. You can also opt to prebook the Chobe National Park Safari Drive and head out early into the park before crossing the border into Zimbabwe.
Day 8
Victoria Falls
Depart anytime.
If you aren't ready to leave just yet talk with your CEO about extending your adventure and get to know more of Zimbabwe or beyond!
