Itinerary
Day 1: Windhoek
Arrive at any time.
There are no planned activities until an evening welcome meeting.
Day 2: Windhoek/Ghanzi
Get ready to check another country off your list as the group crosses the border from Namibia into Botswana. Travel east into the heart of the Kalahari to Ghanzi. Catch a glimpse of how the Indigenous San Bushmen adapted to this difficult landscape on a San bushman walk.
Continue through the eastern part of Namibia and cross into Botswana before travelling into the heart of the Kalahari.
Arrive in the late afternoon and camp in the Ghanzi area.
Day 3: Ghanzi to Maun
Prepare for a 1-night/2-day journey into the Okavango Delta.
Travel along the northern portions of the Kalahari Desert throughout the day – this is a severely arid and barren landscape, though very beautiful.
After arrival in Maun, the biggest town in the Okavango Delta area, pick up any supplies needed and prepare for the journey into the Okavango Delta.
Day 4: Okavango Delta
Enjoy wildlife walks, birding and traditional mokoro excursions in the Okavango Delta. Learn the ways of the bush from the local 'polers'.
The excursion begins with a drive in customized safari vehicles for about 1-2 hrs to the "dock" to board a mokoro (canoe) that takes us deep into the delta. After a 1-2 hrs in the mokoro, arrive to the camp.
In the evening, watch a traditional dance performance.
Day 5: Okavango Delta/Nata
Travel to Nata. Opt for a sunset wildlife safari drive or bush walk in the area. Watch elephants drink from the camp's watering hole at night.
Enjoy the sunrise in the delta before travelling back to Maun by mokoro. Stop in Maun, pick up your luggage, have lunch, and continue to Nata.
Day 6: Nata/Kasane
Travel to Kasane. Opt to embark on a sunset boat cruise on the Chobe River.
Travel to Kasane outside the gates of Chobe National Park, home to the largest elephant population in Southern Africa.
Opt to pre-book a Chobe River Sunset Cruise on the checkout page, or through your Global Connection Officer or travel agent.
Day 7: Kasane/Victoria Falls
Opt for an early morning safari drive in Chobe National Park, before crossing into Zimbabwe. Enjoy lunch at the G Adventures–supported Lusumpuko Women's Club. Take advantage of free time and choose to visit Victoria Falls, or try a helicopter flight over them.
Cross the border to enter into Zimbabwe and continue on to Victoria Falls, arriving in the early afternoon. This is a great base to see natural wonders and take part in some adventure activities.
Opt to get up close (and wet from the spray) while visiting the immense Victoria Falls, raft the whitewater of the mighty Zambezi, or, for the more adventurous, bungee jump with Victoria Falls in view.
Day 8: Victoria Falls
Depart at any time.

I enjoyed the trip, I had a good guide and very amicable travel companions, made good friends, I got to experience different cultures and saw first hand the big impact my traveling makes to the local community we visited along the trip. I got to see the beauty of Africa in just a week's time. Given a chance I would do it again as it was worth spending Christmas on this trip. Never encountered any problems on the road or even borders. Our ground pilot Steven got us to every destination safe, sound and on time while our CEO Vitalis also kept us informed all the time and provided sound advice when called upon, embraced any challenge.

The value, the quality of guides (I've only had one bad experience with a CEO), the regions they travel to and the different durations and styles of travel.

The trip was very good with some room for improvement. Joining in Windhoek was not ideal as meant 2 days of boring long hours in bus, with not much scenery worth watching. Would have been better to join in Botswana. Also joining a tightly knit group that had been together already for several week, was not ideal, and we were made to feel like outsiders by some. There was too much 'for our own costs', after already paying a lot of money for this trip for South Africans, plus some of the accommodation was below standard eg in Windhoek, and Ghanzi. The CEO Arthur was excellent and the trip was well organized.

Because it always depends on the people and if they are nice people going and it is out of your hands who joins. We thought we had a good group to start with but as it progressed, human nature being what it is, we found that they were not as nice as we thought they were.

The trip itself was amazing and the delivery of the trip in Africa from Arthur and Peter was incredible. The pre trip communication and understanding from staff was hard work and didn't feel I was listened to very well.

G Adventures gave us the opportunity to visit wonderful countries and have amazing opportunities, but with so much ease and the hassle removed. We had the most incredible CEO in Wellington and everything was just seamless.
