Secrets of Zimbabwe and Botswana

Travelling through Zimbabwe and Botswana offers a rare chance to explore iconic landscapes alongside less-visited corners that reveal the heart of southern Africa. This journey begins at Victoria Falls, where the Zambezi crashes over a basalt cliff with thunderous force—an unforgettable sight, known locally as Mosi-oa-Tunya. From here, the trip flows across borders and ecosystems, offering a rich mix of nature, culture, and conservation.
Wildlife viewing is a central theme, whether it’s by boat on the Chobe River or in open vehicles through Hwange and Moremi—two of Africa’s most renowned parks. On foot in Matobo Hills, travellers track both Black and White rhinos, uncovering ancient rock art and visiting the gravesite of Cecil Rhodes. Lake Kariba provides a welcome shift in pace, with time aboard a comfortable houseboat for sunset cruises, fishing, and stargazing by the fire on a sandy island.
The route continues into the Makgadikgadi Pans, where meerkats, baobabs, and village visits offer a deeper sense of place. The journey finishes in the Okavango Delta, drifting silently through reed-lined channels in a mokoro canoe. This trip is more than a checklist of highlights—it’s a chance to connect with landscapes and communities that define this part of the continent.
