Botswana & Zimbabwe

Botswana has more wildlife species than anywhere else on the continent and the animal sightings are fast, furious and fantastic - and where better to witness the action than in the iconic Okavango Delta! The Mobile Expeditions itinerary allows you to abandon all thoughts of a traditional lodge and try your hand at wild camping in ultimate style.

You will be sleeping in large, Meru-style canvas tents, with your own private bathroom with plenty of hot water and a bush loo. When fly camping on a private island, you will sleep under the stars armed with a mozzie net and a bedroll. Have your binoculars at the ready for the extraordinary wildlife encounters you will see.

The days are filled with activities designed to take you as close as possible to the wildlife. You can boat up to the herd of elephant, 500 strong, and explore remote islands on foot or zoom across floodplains in a custom 4x4 in search of game and spend afternoons watching the bird’s flit across the sky.

While you are here... let us take you to see Victoria Falls, The Smoke that Thunders!

The Stanley and Livingstone at Victoria Falls is named after two men whose pioneering spirit lives on in the region. Just 10 minutes from the Victoria Falls is this exclusive10-bedroomed hotel set in its own private 6000-acre private estate.

Activities are not set, and include game drives around the property, bush dinners and complimentary transport is available to the Victoria Falls and airport. This luxury hotel offers alternative accommodation to the region and caters for all styles and requests. The Stanley and Livingstone has been completely refurbished in recent years to cater for the most discerning of tastes, with only 16 exquisitely furnished suites, including the sumptuous honeymoon suite, to choose from. No detail has been spared to make your stay at the Victoria Falls one of uncompromised luxury and finery.

From Vic Falls you will catch your chartered flight to Hwange, where you will be collected by your guide and taken to Somalisa Expeditions Camp.

Situated in Hwange National Park, Somalisa Expeditions exudes adventure and brings you face to face with Africa’s giants. The camp offers one of the most authentic ways to experience the exceptional wildlife haven of Hwange National Park, where you are able to sit in your armchair and let nature venture to you.

Nestled under an incredible grove of acacias, along the edge of a seasonal flood plain, Somalisa Expeditions main area includes a lounge and dining area that overlooks a small pool that has become a favourite amongst the elephants.

Somalisa Expeditions is a place of bonfires where stories and laughter are shared, and where the striking African sky evolves from a bright orange blaze to the twilight of the night sky. Senses are awakened on game drives, bush walks, bird watching excursions and cultural visits by the passionate and qualified guides as they demonstrate the beauty and wonder of Zimbabwe.

It's time to fly you from Hwange to the legendary Mana Pools. Mana Pools is known for its wildlife rich flood plains and magnificent views of the Zambezi River. The river boasts some of Africa’s most amazing tiger fishing and adventure canoeing safari’s, creating the perfect combination of beauty and fun and making this World Heritage site a must-visit national park.

The Zambezi Expeditions Camp offers one of the best ways to experience Mana Pools on the banks of the mighty Zambezi. The 6-bed luxury mobile camp is set up prior to your arrival near the Zambezi River, providing the opportunity to canoe and fish, either from the river bank or off an island in the middle of the river. One of the main highlights is a game drive along the flood plain in an open 4 x 4 Land Cruiser that takes you into the heart of an African dream abounding with the continent’s unique animals − eland, elephant, African wild dogs, water buck, big herds of buffalo, kudu, lion and leopard.
