Summary:

Places to visit: Victoria Falls, Chobe, Okavango Delta and Johannesburg. It starts off at the Victoria Falls where you get to see the falls from its best angle. Victoria Falls is one of the most spectacular waterfalls in the world. Animal lovers are not to be left out. The Victoria Falls National Park and Zambezi National Park provide a home for big game. Riverine bird life is also plentiful and the Zambezi is renowned for its variety of fish.

Next stop - Okavango Delta. Described as ’the jewel’ of the Kalahari, this is without doubt Africa’s most beautiful oasis. Here you are assured of having close encounters with abundant animals on your game drives. Finish off at Eagle Island camp, a treasure chest of game and aquatic birds.
