Victoria Falls is the world's largest sheet of falling water. 1700m wide and around 100m high, the falls is a truly memorable sight on any African safari. All year round, flights can be taken in planes, micro lights or helicopters, which give you a panoramic view of the Falls, Batoka Gorge and the islands. [/p

White water rafting on the Zambezi is considered to be world class. Besides the excitement of the grade 5 rapids, there are the "floats" where there is time to admire the scenic cliffs and occasional wildlife on the riverbanks.

Bungee jumping enthusiasts can take the plunge from the Zambezi Bridge, which connects Zambia and Zimbabwe. There is also the option to abseil in the Batoka Gorge. Neither activity is for the fainthearted!

Following breakfast you depart Victoria Falls and cross the border into Botswana. After setting up camp for the night you can spend some time exploring the area and relaxing on the banks of the Chobe River.

In the afternoon you head off on a game drive in Chobe National Park. Chobe is one of Botswana's premier game parks, renowned for the large herds of elephant around the Chobe River.

An early morning start sees you traveling in a south westerly direction to Maun, the gateway to the Okavango Delta and your base for the optional delta excursion. Today is a long day's drive with a stop for lunch on the roadside.

The Okavango is a huge expanse of water, which after travelling down from the Angolan highlands, spreads out to form the largest inland delta in the world. Studded with exotic islands, the Okavango Delta is renowned for its incredible variety of birdlife, as well as many other animals unique to Southern Africa.

If you choose to take the optional 3-day/2-night excursion into the delta, you travel approx 1-2 hours north to the mokoro polers station. From there you hire mokoros, the local dug-out canoes, which are poled by local guides through the winding waterways.

Your knowledgeable guides select a place to set up camp for the night. An afternoon game walk allows you to experience more the delta wilderness and its diverse ecosystems.

Today you have the opportunity to partake in a number of delta activities including game walks, mokoro cruises, swimming and even a chance to try your hand at poling a dug-out yourself!

There is a final opportunity for a morning game walk before packing up camp and setting off back to Maun.

You arrive back in the early afternoon you have the chance to complete your picture of the Okavango Delta by taking an optional sunset flight over the spectacular delta region.

Today is another long drive from Maun to Francistown, one of the oldest towns in Botswana. Francistown was originally a gold-mining centre and the site of southern Africa's first gold rush.

Nowadays, the city is experiencing an economic boom and has expanded into a retail and wholesale shopping mecca. We stock up on supplies here for the next few days.

We leave Botswana and cross the border into South Africa. Your night is spent in the bustling city of Johannesburg also nicknamed Egoli (place of gold).

Departing Johannesburg you head towards the Lowveld Region and the world-famous Kruger National Park. Your camp for the next 2 nights is 8km from Kruger Park's Numbi Gate.

The camp has a swimming pool and good hot showers so you can experience the African bush without giving up your creature comforts. In the evening you can relax around the campfire and look forward to the next day's game drive.
