Windhoek to Victoria Falls:

‘Your journey begins in Windhoek, capital city of Namibia.

Navigate the winding streams and isolated lagoons of the Okavango Delta. Sit back and relax as your guide gently poles your "makoro" through these clear waters. Get up close and personal with some of the most exciting creatures on earth. Join the adrenaline junkies at Victoria Falls.

Be insane for a day as you jump off bridges or boogie board head-first down the immense rapid runs of the Zambezi. Sit tight as you witness the Falls from a micro-light aircraft or take it easy on an upper Zambezi River cruise and watch the African bush go gently on by’.

PRE DEPARTURE INFORMATION:

DAYS 4 & 5 – Okavango Delta

An early morning pickup awaits us where will be transferred to the "makoro" poling station by vehicle. We will be assigned our makoro - each complete with a poler /guide. After a two to three hour makoro journey in the delta we will stop and set up camp. The Delta is an incredible maze of inland waterways and lagoons. We’ll be on safari ‘makoro’ style, poled gently along in "makoro’ (canoes, hand hewn from logs), floating through this haven of wildlife and birds. You will be taken on game walks by your poler guides to experience the full splendour of the region. Please note that there are no ablution facilities what so ever, and camps will be bush camps. Meals will be carefully planned for this duration. Breakfast, lunch, dinner.
