**Day 1 Nata Botswana**
Departing Johannesburg, we cross the border into Botswana. This vast, thinly populated country is one of Africa''s few economic success stories, in large part due to the immense mineral wealth that lies beneath its sandy soils. Diamonds being the sourse of much of its wealth. We continue northwards to Nata, where our first night is spent camping on the edge of the Makdadikgadi Pans. (D)
**Days 2 Livingstone/Victoria Falls (Zambia)**
We cross to Livingstone, the town on the Zambian side of the Victoria Falls. Late afternoon we embark on a sunset cruise on the mighty Zambezi River. As well as enjoying sundowners on the cruise you will have the opportunity to see some of the wildlife that inhabits the banks of the river - maybe hippos, crocodiles or elephant. (B,D)
**Day 3 Livingstone/Victoria Falls (Zambia)**
Today is a free day to visit the Victoria Falls, aptly named ''the smoke that thunders'' or go white water rafting, canoeing, elephant riding, bungy jumping and more. Victoria Falls is the adrenalin capital of Africa so there is plenty to choose from. Explore the town, visit the wonderful craft markets or even do a ''Flight of the Angels'' over the Falls! You may cross the bridge into Zimbabwe into Zimbabwe and the town of Victoria Falls. (B,D)

**Day 5 Maun Botswana**
This morning we do a 4x4 game drive into Chobe National Park, home to some of the large herds of migratory elephants that Botswana is so famous for. A game viewing experience not to be missed. After breakfast we make our way south. On this drive through the Chobe District it is not uncommon to see elephants and other wildlife on the side of the road. Later afternoon we arrive in Maun, the gateway to the Delta. You can visit the nearby Crocodile Farm, and we make preparations for our Delta trip. (B,D)
**Days 6, 7, 8 Okavango Delta Botswana**
This morning we venture into the wild bush of Africa, far from any form of civilisation. Our journey begins by 4x4 and once in the Delta we join local villagers/ guides on mokoros (2 man dug out canoes).
We begin our search for abundance of wildlife that inhabits the Delta. Drifting silently through the channels. We set up camp on islands in the Delta. After a breathtaking sunset, relax around the campfire listening to the magical sounds of the night. The days are filled with game walks, tracking different species and exploring the waterways of the world renowned Okavango Swamps. On the last afternoon we return to Maun where you have the option to do a game flight over the Delta giving you the chance to see the entire area as well as spot some game. (B.L,D)
