Safari Overview
When it comes to raw, in-your-face wildness, South Africa, Botswana, Zambia, and Zimbabwe are incredible and from the vantage of our rugged overland adventure vehicle (OAV), even more spectacular. Witness traditional dancing, explore the Okavango Delta with a game walk and bush camping, track rhinos on foot in Zimbabwe’s Matobo National Park, and capture the Big Five (with your camera, of course) in South Africa’s Kruger National Park. Camping will keep you close to the incomparable scenery. This quick tour isn’t simply a taste of Africa; it’s a full-course meal with seconds.

[eafl id=4995 name=”Southern Africa Encompassed” text=”View More About This Safari”]
Okavango Delta Flight – $120.00
Get a fresh perspective on the vast African wilderness with a view only a select few will ever see. Hop aboard a 5-seater airplane and enjoy the stunning scenery from above.
Victoria Falls Helicopter Ride (Zambia) – $160.00
You don’t want to miss the opportunity to see Victoria Falls from above. Watch the raging Zambezi River make its way toward the gorge, forming the largest waterfall in the world. During your 15 minute ride, you will have time to take in the incredible views while snapping as many pictures as you like. You may be lucky enough to see some giraffes and elephants in the surrounding landscape and even catch a rainbow over the falls.
Victoria Falls River Rafting (Zambia) – $160.00
Take the opportunity to go whitewater rafting on the Zambezi River while Victoria Falls roars above. Depart in the morning and head to the river, spend the morning navigating through the canyon that forms the famous falls. This adrenaline filled day will be one to remember. Please note: River conditions and activity pricing vary depending on the seasons. High water season is from about February to July. Low water season generally runs from August to January each year – this is when the Zambezi is at its very wildest. The “closed season” is dependent on the season?s rains, and usually is from March to April; during this time rafting on the river is not permitted. This activity price excludes a $10 park entrance fee.
My Own Room – $319.00
If you’re traveling solo and would prefer to have your own private room throughout your trip, select this option during the online booking process.
