Southern Heartbeat
This would have to be one of the best four-week trips in southern Africa, combining of our extremely popular 'Waterfalls & Wildlife (Reverse)' and 'Vic Falls to Cape Town' safaris. The architectural wonder of the Great Zimbabwe Ruins sets our safari off to a cultural start. Antelope Park whets our wildlife appetite as we walk with lions in this unique private reserve. Balancing granite boulders form a stunning backdrop for wildlife at Matobo National Park, which is particularly famous for its white rhino population. Wildlife-viewing opportunities abound in Hwange National Park, Zimbabwe’s premier game reserve. Arriving in Victoria Falls we have three days to check out some of the more popular optional activities, such as whitewater rafting or bungy jumping. From the magnificence of Victoria Falls we head off to explore the game-rich areas of Chobe National Park and the Chobe River. The marvellous wetlands of the Okavango Delta in Botswana are truly spectacular, not to mention the wonderful wildlife areas around the Etosha Pan. The breathtaking sand dunes of Sossusvlei are the essence of Namibia, whilst the sheer size and majesty of Fish River Canyon never fails to impress. We cross into South Africa at the Orange River and make our way to Cape Town, one of the world’s most spectacular cities - a great place to end our remarkable journey.
