 OUR JOURNEYS CHANGE LIVES

Botswana & Zimbabwe
Delta, Rivers and Plains Special
This flying safari takes in a scenic and wildlife-filled range of
habitat types: the fertile green islands of the Okavango Delta and
its crystal-clear waterways, the thundering Victoria Falls, and the
savannah plains of Hwange, Zimbabwe’s premier national park.
This safari retains the essence of Wilderness Safaris’ origins, where
we sought out prime wilderness areas throughout southern Africa
and channelled our passion into safaris that were educational and
fun-filled. This itinerary continues this ethos and showcases some
of the best that this dramatic continent has to offer: the waters
of Africa, its plains and its wildlife all in one spectacular package.
