Embark on an extraordinary journey through some of Africa’s most breathtaking landscapes, where wildlife roam free and nature showcases its finest spectacles.

Your adventure begins as you arrive at Kasane International Airport, gateway to the legendary Chobe National Park. Over the next four nights, immerse yourself in the rich biodiversity of this region, exploring the park on thrilling game drives and cruising along the Chobe River. Capture stunning images of hippos, elephants, lions, and an abundance of other wildlife that call this area home.

Next, venture into the Zambezi region for three nights, where tranquil river cruises offer unique photographic opportunities. With patience and a keen eye, you’ll frame incredible moments of wildlife interacting in their natural habitat, set against dramatic sunsets and pristine waters.

From Kasane, take a scenic charter flight to Khwai Airstrip, your gateway to the magical Okavango Delta. Nestled on the edge of this world-famous wetland, your lodge provides the perfect base for exploring Moremi and Savuti on day trips. Depending on water levels, traditional mokoro rides through the Delta’s winding channels offer a chance to photograph its serene beauty from an entirely new perspective.

Closing the adventure on a spectacular note, you’ll transfer back to Kasane and onward to the awe-inspiring Victoria Falls for two nights. Experience the majesty of one of the world’s largest waterfalls, where the mighty Zambezi River tumbles into the gorge, creating breathtaking mist-filled landscapes for the perfect final shots of your journey.
