Namibia - Featured Trips

This tour is designed to show you some of the must see wildlife areas in Namibia and Botswana combined with the scenic beauty of the mighty Victoria Falls in Zambia. First stop is Etosha National Park, one of the continent's greatest game viewing areas with huge herds of elephant and both black and white rhino. You will then continue along to the northeast into the Caprivi Strip, a long, skinny stretch of tropical wetland areas rich in wildlife. The Caprivi is dominated by rivers, swamps and floodplains providing a home to a wide variety of wildlife. From the Caprivi you will visit the Chobe in Botswana known for its huge concentration of elephants, especially along the Chobe River. No trip to this part of the world would be complete without a visit to the impressive Victoria Falls. The Zambezi River gorge below the falls has developed into Africa's centre for adventure sports offering adrenaline surging activities such as white water rafting, abseiling, gorge swings and the famous bungee jump into the gorge.

Arrive at Windhoek International Airport and pick up a rental vehicle (based on 4x4 Toyota double cab or similar). An approx 2.5 hrs drive north will take you to Okonjima - the home of the AfriCat Foundation. The foundation is set on a private reserve where Kudu and Oryx roam amongst the wild cats that the foundation have rescued and reintroduced to the wild. A particular highlight is tracking the radio collared leopard in the reserve with the AfriCat guides. Overnight at Okonjima Main Camp - Waterhole view chalet on a FB basis

After breakfast depart for Etosha National Park and enter through the Andersson's Gate from where you can explore the western sector of the park. On your second day in the park you will make your way further into the park to explore the eastern section of the pan. Overnight at Okaukeujo Camp & Namutoni Camp on BB basis

Leave Etosha through the Von Lindquist Gate in the east and head for Rundu. Rundu is a small town set on the banks of the Kavango River bordering Namibia and Angola. Here there are a range of activities available, including champagne sunset cruises, river boat safaris for bird watching (over 400 species of birds locally) or fishing, micro light flights and African dancing. Overnight at Hakusembe River Lodge on HB basis

Continue further into the Caprivi to the Popa Falls - more rapids than falls, the Kavango River breaks through a 4m high rocky intrusion amidst islands dotted with pristine forests surrounded by aquatic vegetation. Activities available from the lodge include guided game drives, boat cruises, angling expeditions, traditional Mokoro canoe trips down the Kavango river, guided birding and nature walks as well as cultural walks through traditional villages.
