You will arrive at Livingstone International Airport, where you'll be met and transferred to your lodge. Depending on the time you arrive, you should be able to enjoy a sundowner cruise on the Zambezi River, where you might spot hippo, crocodile or elephant. Your overnight stay will be at Sussi & Chuma Tree House, with your meals, drinks and river cruise included.

The next day you'll visit the famous Victoria Falls. The majestic waterfall, a Unesco World Heritage Site, is impressive in full flood (February to end May) and even in low season (October and November). After your walking tour, there are many optional activities to choose from for the rest of the day. Vic Falls is an adrenalin junkie's dream playground, offering bungee jumping, white-water rafting, kayaking, and even a helicopter flip over the Falls to get a different perspective. Note that these activities aren't included, and must be booked and paid for separately. Your overnight stay will be at Sussi & Chuma Tree House, with your meals and walking tour of the falls included.

In the afternoon, you can enjoy the sunset river cruise along the Chobe River or an afternoon game drive in the park.

Chobe has the largest remaining population of elephants in the world, and the bulls are renowned for their enormous size.

After breakfast, you'll be taken to Kasane Airport for your scheduled flight into the Okavango Delta. The Delta is an extraordinary experience and you'll be spending your time in the heart of the Delta. Chief’s Camp is on Chief's Island in the Mombo Concession of the Moremi Game Reserve. Known as the 'predator capital of Africa', this area is ideal for game viewing. The seasonal water of the Delta ensures that the area in front of the camp is always changing – from a dry floodplain teeming with wildlife to a lush and tranquil lagoon.

Chief's Camp is located in the only area in the Okavango Delta that has both black and white rhinos, completing the Big Five. You can take part in seasonal mokoro (traditional dug-out canoe) excursions, depending on water levels in the seasonal channels. Look out for some of the Delta's 400-plus species of birds, including African fish eagle and Pel's fishing owl. Your overnights stay include your meals and scheduled activities.

Africa was on my travel “wishlist” but I never thought I would actually get there

That all changed when our son was home for a visit over Christmas. He announced that he and a friend were going to Africa. They had selected DISCOVER AFRICA to plan their trip. He shared all the details with us and we decided it was an adventure we had to experience as well.

Our son connected us with Vihann Van Wyk at Discover Africa, the same agent he was using. Vihann was a pleasure to work with. He coordinated our trip with our son’s and tweaked the details as requested. Communication was a breeze through both email and WhatsApp. Vihann made suggestions as well as accepted specific requests from us to build a custom itinerary. No detail was overlooked. Some accommodations were adjusted to keep us within budget without sacrificing our experience.

All drivers, tour guides, experiences & lodging did not disappoint. All internal flights were on Airlink …. better than some regional airlines in the USA. The weather was perfect too!

Deborah's Safari Experience

Our itinerary included:

*CAPE TOWN – Radisson Blu Waterfront Hotel….very nice property with an excellent breakfast and beautiful outdoor dining. Must sees were the full day Cape Tour, Wine Tour to Stellenbosch, Table Mountain and High Tea at the Cape Grace Hotel.

*KRUGER NTL PARK – Lion Sands Tinga Lodge….a dream experience! Excellent private bungalow, twice daily game drives, delicious food, and a wonderful massage and facial at the spa. The staff was outstanding.

*VICTORIA FALLS – Shongwe Lookout Lodge…a modest property that met all our needs and saved us some money. We experienced the Zambezi River sunset cruise, Victoria Falls ( incredible!! ) , lunch at the Lookout Cafe and a visit to the historic Victoria Falls hotel for lunch.

*JOHANNESBURG – Marriott African Pride Hotel in Melrose Arch ….an upscale area with lots of shopping and dining. The Soweto Tour was an experience not to be missed. We visited Nelson Mandela’s office and home. The Apartheid Museum was sobering and moving.

Lastly, every where we went we met the nicest people….friendly and helpful.

Excellent adventure! An experience like no other!
