Description

Three Countries

3 nights Khwai Tented Camp | 3 nights Thorntree River Lodge | 3 nights Somalisa Camp

Your safari starts in Maun, Botswana and ends in Victoria Falls, Zimbabwe.

Arriving in Maun, Botswana you’re whisked away by light aircraft to the Khwai Concession in the North of Botswana. This area is well known for large predators like Lion, Leopard and the elusive Wild Dogs. Spend three nights on land and water exploring all this pristine area has to offer.

The Khwai area is known for its myriad streams and water ways that support fantastic bird species and the thickets that hide elusive Leopard sightings. The tranquility of this area is astounding. Days are relaxed and adrenaline rushes through you every morning and afternoon with the game drives. Guides know their areas well and finding game can be easy and difficult but always very rewarding.

After three days in Khwai fly into the Livingstone for the mighty Victoria Falls. Spend your days in sublime relaxation on the rivers edge or take part in the numerous high adrenaline activities that are available here. Private tours of the Falls National Park, boating on the river or a peaceful ride in a traditional Mokoro.

From Livingstone your adventure takes you to Hwange National Park in Zimbabwe where Somalisa Camp will take your breath away with her elephant sightings. An elephant pool is just meters away from the edge of the deck and if you sit quite still the elephants will be within touching distance. After three days of game drives, walks and lounging by the poolside you will be transferred by light aircraft to Victoria Falls airport for your onward flights.
