NLJ – 07-Day – Okavango Expedition South  

On arrival your guide will brief you on the next few days.  Most clients spend the day enjoying the exciting optional activities on offer. The Victoria Falls is 1, 7 kilometers wide has a height of about 128m. The Falls is a not to be missed experience and will leave lasting memories.  In the late afternoon we recommend the popular optional sunset cruise that includes dinner and drinks.
Optional Activities: Zambezi Sunset Cruise, Victoria Falls.                                 

This short and exciting tour begins in historical Livingstone, home to the Victoria Falls and many adventure sports, such as the world famous Zambezi White Water Rafting.  The Chobe National Park in Botswana is not only home to the many elephants of this area, but a multitude of other wild animals as well, viewing the game from a boat is a unique and relaxing way to experience this National Park.  The highlight of the trip is of course the Okavango Delta. We spend a few days doing Mokoro (traditional dug out canoes) rides through the winding channels and Nature Walks in this beautiful area. Then it's off throughsouthern Botswana where South Africa and Johannesburg await.
