NCV – 20-Day – Cape to Vic Falls

The Cape Town to Victoria Falls has been our most popular tour for the last 8 years. There is a good reason for this – it is simply the best tour on the market – great value for money and packed with highlights – this is the perfect tour for a first or fifth visit to Africa! Starting in Cape Town and including the Namib Desert, Etosha National Park, the opportunity to visit Botswana’s two biggest attractions – the Okavango Delta and the Chobe NP – the tour ends in Victoria Falls - one of the world’s seven wonders.

We depart Cape Town heading north for the Cederberg Mountain region. Cederberg is well known as one of the main Rooibos Tea growing areas in South Africa and is also home to beautiful wildflowers in October. On this first afternoon we spend some time learning about tour-life, the vehicle and equipment.

Day 2 Namaqualand – Gariep River

We travel north through Namaqualand and head for the Gariep River. The Western Cape is soon left behind and we spend most of the afternoon traveling through the Northern Cape Province of South Africa. The night is spent on the banks of the Gariep River around the campfire, getting to know one another. The Gariep River forms the border of South Africa and Namibia and is used widely for agricultural irrigation in this arid area.

Day 3 Namibia - Gariep River Fish River Canyon

Choose between a relaxing morning on the riverbank or the half-day canoe adventure. After lunch we travel north to the Fish River Canyon, the second largest in the world. The Fish River is the longest river in Namibia at 650 km in length, the Fish River Canyon is situated along the lower reaches of this seasonal river. The Fish River Canyon is 161 km in length and runs from Seeheim to Ai-Ais.

Optional Activities: Orange River Half Day Canoe Adventure.

Day 4 Namib-Naukluft National Park

Camp B,L,D

Taking advantage of the cooler temperatures we depart at dawn and drive into the Namib-Naukluft National Park where we will hike up Dune 45 to gain a different perspective of the desert. After this you have the option to take a guided hike with fellow group members into Sossusvlei.

A dramatic drive through the arid Namib-Naukluft, crossing the Tropic of Capricorn sees us arrive at Walvis Bay. We make a stop to view the flamingo’s before we head towards the seaside resort town of Swakopmund.
Day 7 is left free for each individual to pursue their own interests including many adventure activities.

Optional Activities: Quadbiking, Sandboarding, Sky Diving, Scenic Flights, Fishing etc.

Those of us who decide to join the Delta Excursion will leave the truck behind and make our way to the base camp. From here we will enter the Delta the following day by using local transport, including mokoros (dugout canoes). Your guides will provide you with a briefing about the next few day’s activities, the environment and the community run tourism operation. If you remain behind then you spend the next few days relaxing at camp.
