Summary
Head out for 21 days on an ultimate overland expedition into southwestern Africa. Walk along the side of the world’s highest sand dunes, stand in the spray of thundering Victoria Falls, experience numerous wildlife safaris, and canoe through the Okavango Delta. Your Lando (overland adventure vehicle) will keep you close to the action and camping under the vast African sky will be unforgettable. Drift off to sleep to the call of cranes and awake to the rustle of elephants grazing on nearby riverbanks. No need to pinch yourself, this is real life!
Itinerary
Day 1
Victoria Falls
Arrive at any time.
Tonight after a brief welcome meeting, choose to get to know your group members with an optional group dinner at a nearby local restaurant.
Day 2
Victoria Falls
Victoria Falls is a great base to see both natural wonders and take part in some exciting activities. Get up close to the awesome Victoria Falls, opt to raft the whitewater of the mighty Zambezi, or bungee jump (with Victoria Falls in sight).
Day 3
Victoria Falls/Kasane
You will stay over just outside of the park near the town of Kasane. This afternoon, take an optional afternoon sunset boat cruise along the Chobe River - it's your best opportunity to view hippos, crocodiles, and many elephants wallowing in the water.
You can pre-book the Chobe River Sunset Cruise on the checkout page, or through your Global Connection Officer or travel agent.
Day 4
Kasane/Gweta
Wake up early today and opt for a wildlife safari drive in an open safari vehicle in Chobe National Park. Afterwards, travel south to Gweta and reward yourself after the long journey with a group toast before camping under the stars and branches of ancient baobab trees.
Day 5
Gweta/Maun
Choose to prebook a scenic helicopter ride through the Delta during your free time in Maun.
Day 6
Maun/Okavango Delta
Travel from Maun into the Delta to explore the landscape from a traditional mokoro (dugout canoe). Do some birdwatching on the way to the basic bush camp where the group will set out on a sunset nature walk. Set up camp and unwind around the campfire.
Day 7
Maun/D'kar
Travel back through the Okavango Delta in a traditional mokoro and disembark in Maun. Then, travel through the western part of Botswana to D'kar; the heart of the Kalahari. Set off on an optional bushman walk and see how the local San People adapted to life in the desert.
Later, enjoy the warm hospitality of the San Bushmen as the group will be staying at the the tour operator-supported Dqae Qare San Lodge & Camp.
Day 8
Ghanzi/Windhoek
Stretch those legs, wave farewell to the San People, and hop in the Lando headed for Windhoek. Laugh, reflect, and listen to each other's stories as you cross the border into Namibia. Check another country off those travel lists and choose to grab a meal together in the evening.
Day 9
Windhoek/Waterberg Plateau
Climb aboard the Lando (overland adventure vehicle) and travel to the the tour operator-supported Penduka Village Restaurant & Shop, located outside of Windhoek. Grab a tasty packed lunch here before heading to the Waterberg Plateau. Spend free time at the campsite simply enjoying the wild surroundings.
Day 10
Waterberg Plateau/Etosha National Park
Enjoy a short group safari drive in Etosha National Park in the Lando en route to today’s camping spot. The remainder of the day includes free time to relax at camp and rest up for the next day’s adventure.
Day 11
Etosha National Park
Embark on a full-day wildlife safari drive through Etosha National Park. Search for some of the animal species that call this place home. Because of the park’s size and large concentrations of animals within it almost feels like they come directly to you! Especially during the dry season (May through October).
Day 12
Etosha National Park/Spitzkoppe
Explore on your own by foot, and be sure to check out the night sky—it's great for star-gazing!
Day 13
Spitzkoppe/Swakopmund
Take in the wild landscape of Spitzkoppe before travelling to the coastal region of Namibia and the adrenaline capital of Swakopmund. Spend two nights here and enjoy plenty of time for daring optional activities in the area.
Day 14
Swakopmund
You can pre-book your sky dive on the checkout page, or through your Global Connection Officer or travel agent.
Day 15
Swakopmund/Namib Desert
Drive in the Lando to the oldest desert in the world and camp on the very edge. Upon arrival to camp there will be free time where you can choose to walk with a local expert to hear stories about the Namib Desert. Later, fall asleep under the stars.
Day 16
Namib Desert
Explore the stunning rock formations of the Sesriem Canyon. Then choose to go further on the Sossuvlei Desert walk to visit a clay pan enclosed by the world’s largest sand dunes. Return to the campsite and enjoy dinner on the braai before a peaceful night's sleep in the desert.
Day 17
Namib Desert/Fish River Canyon
Spend the day driving to the largest canyon in Africa known as Fish River Canyon. Along the way there will be opportunities to step outside of the Lando and stretch. The group will watch sunset over the canyon’s rim before sitting around a fire at camp.

The group will cross another border today on the journey into South Africa. Tonight, camp at the scenic Orange River. There will be free time to enjoy some of the activities in the area like a canoe excursion on the river.
Day 19
Orange River/Cederberg
Board the Lando and drive further south past large plantations of rooibos tea as the group heads into the Cederberg Mountains. Camp here for the night where the options for your free time could be a wine tasting, a swim in the pool, or sitting around a campfire.
Day 20
Cederberg/Cape Town
Travel to Cape Town today and stop along the way at the the tour operator-supported !Khwa ttu San Culture and Education Centre where you will learn about the history and culture of the ancient San people. Tonight there will be free time in Cape Town to explore at your own pace.
