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:
