The Great Botswana & Namibia Safari

• See elephants, cape buffalo, lions, leopards, cheetahs and more on classic game drives
• Immerse yourself in the desert and dunes of Namibia, among Africa’s last great wildernesses
• Stand before the thunder of Victoria Falls, the largest sheet of falling water in the world

This is the ultimate southern African safari. A small group of just eight travelers will spend a fortnight crossing a vast tract of Africa’s prime wildlife regions on a journey that evokes the classic safaris of old. Though we stay in out-of-the-way locales where we see far more big game than people, our deluxe tented camps are the apex of comfort and atmosphere in the bush. There is no Africa itinerary that offers more diversity than this; from the Namib Desert to the waterways of the Okavango Delta, teeming with life, we experience Africa at its most primal

and magnetic.

Important Information about This Trip

On this trip we have combined the highlights of Namibia and Botswana within one ultimate safari itinerary. We recommend this trip for guests who want to make the most out of their limited number of trips to Africa - we travel from desert to delta to sea! Most transfers on this itinerary will be done by air, although we have retained a few drives in order to reveal the breathtaking scenery and vast expanse of the land. As usual, our outstanding Expedition Leaders tie the entire safari together for a most memorable experience.

Getting There & Getting Home
You must arrive in Windhoek, Namibia by 3pm on Day 1 and can depart Botswana after 1pm on the final day. We can best serve you if Natural Habitat Adventures’ Travel Desk makes these reservations for you as they are intimately familiar with the special requirements of these programs and can arrange the most efficient and cost-effective travel.
