The Kavango Zambezi lies halfway between Cape Town and the Equator. Its wild landscapes are fed by two great river systems, the Kavango and the Zambezi.. And it is at the confluence of five countries: Namibia, Botswana, Zimbabwe, Zambia and Angola.
This 10-night/11-day itinerary highlights some of the best that the Kavango region can offer across three countries: Botswana, Namibia and Zimbabwe. You begin with Chobe, home to the largest population of African elephant in the world, estimated at over 70 000. You then head over the border to explore three contrasting areas within the Zambezi region. Your safari ends with a 2-night stay at the magnficent Victoria Falls.
We are the people of the river and this is our story,Β to share with all who love wildlife without borders β now, and for generations to come.
