Tour
Description
|
The route from Cape Town
to Victoria Falls is considered by many that have done it as the
"crème-de-le-crème" of Southern African eco-safari tours.
Starting at the beautiful, lush and sophisticated metropolis of Cape Town, we
head northwards in the harsh but intriguing thirstlands of the Northern Cape,
eventually arriving in the unforgiving Namib Desert, reputedly the oldest
desert in the world. Continuing on, we visit the wildlife sanctuaries of Etosha
National Park, the lush Okavango Delta, Caprivi floodplains, and the Chobe
National Park.
Other
highlights include the astounding nothingness of the Makgadikgadi pans, and two
of Southern Africa's exciting adventure capitals, Swakopmund and the Victoria
Falls.
This Trip has it
all!
