  • Day 2 Livingstone (1B)

    Livingstone is a great base to see both natural wonders and take part in some exciting activities. Get up close (and wet from the spray) to the awesome Victoria Falls, opt to raft the whitewater of the mighty Zambezi, or bungee jump (with Victoria Falls in sight).

    Additional Notes:
    Be sure to stop by the G Adventures help desk at your accommodation for advice, tips, or help booking any local activities.

  • Day 3 Livingstone/Kasane (1B, 1L, 1D)

    You will stay over just outside of the park near the town of Kasane. This afternoon, take an optional game drive in the park or an afternoon sunset boat cruise along the Chobe River – it’s your best opportunity to view hippos, crocodiles, and many elephants wallowing in the water.

    Included Activities:
    Border Crossing (Zambia – Botswana)

    Transport:
    Overland truck (1.50-2.00 hours)
    Ferry
    Overland truck (0.75 hour(s), 20km)

  • Day 4 Kasane/Gweta (1B, 1L, 1D)

    Today we head south from Chobe National Park and travel to Gweta.

    When the rain comes, it brings life to the pans, awakening the dormant fish and aquatic shrimps from the mud. The surrounding grasslands also teem with life and are home to many antelope, which attract a wide variety of predators.

    Transport:
    Overland truck (7.00 hour(s), 350km)

  • Day 5 Gweta/Maun (1B, 1L, 1D)

    Opt to catch a bird’s-eye view of the delta on a flight.

    Additional Notes:
    Please note: if you have pre-booked the Okavango Delta Flight, today is likely the day for this activity! Your CEO will give you final confirmation when it will take place, as it is subject to change.

    Transport:
    Overland truck (5.00 hour(s))

  • Day 6 Maun/Okavango Delta (1B, 1L, 1D)

    After leaving some of our luggage in Maun, we begin our exciting excursion into the delta as we drive about 1-2 hrs (depending on which dock we go to) to the “dock”. Here, we hop into a mokoro, a traditional dugout canoe, which will take us deep into the delta. After a couple hours in a mokoro, we arrive to our basic bush camp.

    Additional Notes:
    Please note that there will be no shower tonight, as our camp is very basic in the wild – you will be compensated by the incredible landscape and wildlife!

    Once we are in Maun, you can pick up any supplies and prepare for our excursion into the Okavango Delta. We recommend you buy a 5 litre bottle of water to take with you into the Delta; this should be sufficient to use for drinking and cleaning purposes.

    Included Activities:
    Okavango Delta Excursion
