On this 14-day family adventure through Namibia, Botswana and Zimbabwe, you'll get to explore some of the most varied and exciting landscapes in Africa.
Your starting point on the Namibia leg of this trip is the captail city of Windhoek and from here we'll head to Sessrium National Park and to Sossusvlei where take a jeep safari and climb up the famous Dune 45. Our next highlight is Swakopmund, known as the adventure capital of Namibia where thrilling activities such as skydiving, sandboarding and scenic flights above the stark landscape of the mountainous dunes are available. Heading up the Skeleton Coast where the desert sands reach right to the see and the wrecks of varoius ships lie on the beaches, we'll visit the Cape Cross Seal Colony and Ozohere Himba Village before heading inland to one of the best places in the world to see wildlife, Etosha National Park. After several safaris through the park to see the wild elephants, zebras, and hippos and other wildlife, our final stop before the Okavango will be Rundu, perched on the Angolan border.
The Okavango is teaming with plant, bird and animal life and is the largest inland delta on the entire planet. Its unique positioning makes it ideal for supporting hundreds of species of wild birds and impressive land mammals such as lions, cheetahs, and giraffes. We visit the 'pan handle' of the delta in the Caprivi Strip, before it splits into thousands of smaller waterways, forming swamps, lagoons and small islands. There are several optional safaris on the Okavango River and into the Delta both in traditional mokoro dugout canoes, and with open 4x4 safari vehicles.
Coming to the end of our trip, we cross the border and take you to Chobe National Park, famous for its thriving elephant population, before finishing at the stunning Victoria Falls just over the border.
This overland family adventure holiday allows you to experience the diversity and uniqueness of the different regional cultures, discover the abundance of wildlife, and get your adrenaline flowing with exciting optional activities. Accommodation is a mix of hotels/lodges, camping and even a tree-house experience on the Okavango. Travel is on a specialist 24-seat fully equipped overland expedition vehicle with an experienced tour leader and driver on board.
