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.

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.

As soon as we chose Discover Africa to send us to Africa, we were constantly helped in planning the trip and were also continually guided during the trip. I felt as confident as possible that my wife and I were going to have a great trip. I appreciated the information we got about our lodging and activities at the 4 camps we stayed at. I also appreciated the quick responses by Susan Veldman to my every question leading up to the trip. And she often checked in with us while we were in Africa.

Despite our moving from camp to camp (my friend planned our itinerary) four times, everything went off without a hitch. We we were welcomed enthusiastically by the staff at each camp, including being serenaded when we arrived and at every dinner. The camps were well designed and well designed. They were way beyond anything we could imagine. The food was excellent and healthy choices were always offered.

Our lodging was spacious and comfortable, and we enjoyed night sounds of our surroundings, including the grunting Hippos in the river nearby. The guides assigned to us were skilful and very personable. They made sure we had endless opportunities safely to get up close to wildlife for photos that will last a lifetime. This was a remarkable trip, which we will never forget.
