Itinerary

Day 1: Cape Town

Arrive at any time.
Get the most out of your time in Cape Town by pre-booking the South African Wine Tour and Tasting extra. If you do, we recommend booking accommodation for an extra night pre-tour as this activity has an early start time. Please note, due to the timings of this activity, there is a possibility you may miss the welcome meeting on day 1 of your tour - in this case, your CEO will leave you a message detailing what time and where you should meet the next morning.

Day 2: Cape Town/Lambert's Bay

Head up the Cape's west coast, stopping at the G Adventures supported !Khwa ttu San Culture and Education Centre. Arrive in Lambert's Bay and enjoy an included wine tasting. Then, opt to visit Bird Island, or stroll through this charming town.
Today's journey takes you to Lambert's Bay, a picturesque town on the west coast of South Africa, where you will enjoy an included wine tasting. Learn how to analyze your palates, listen to your taste buds, and how to pair your food with the best wine raised in the foothills of the Cederburg Mountains.

Day 3: Lambert's Bay/Orange River

Continue north and cross into Namibia. Settle in along the banks of the Orange River with time to enjoy your surroundings.
Travelling north, the group will enjoy a full day's travel through this dry and remote part of South Africa.

In the mid-afternoon, cross into Namibia and a more arid region with a stop at scenic Orange River for the evening. After getting settled, choose to enjoy the late afternoon by the river bank.

Day 4: Orange River/Fish River Canyon/Keetmanshoop

This morning, leave the banks of the Orange River behind as you continue on to Fish River Canyon.

Enjoy a visit to Sossusvlei, a clay pan enclosed by the world's largest sand dunes, up to 300m (984 ft) high. Here, use some free time to enjoy the sand dunes on your own. Visit the Sesriem Canyon, a small canyon typical of the area.

Get a real feel for the Namib Desert as we spend hours crossing this empty region.

En route to the Namibian coast, take a coffee break in Solitaire, a mystical village consisting of a filling station, general dealer/coffee shop, and small mechanical workshop. Before arriving to Swakopmund, drive through Walvis Bay, the only town on the Namibian coastline that boasts a deep-sea harbor.

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 13: 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 14: 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.

It's the people who made it fun. Our fearless leader Arthur was beyond amazing. Easygoing yet very organized keeping us on track, full of knowledge teaching us history and culture, all around lovely. We had a good group of people and age range too!!!! However it was disruptive to have a third of our group leave at the 2 week mark and was awkward picking up 4 newcomers ? I would have gone a different time if I knew that ahead of time. I would forgo Victoria Falls - tourist gouge and stupidly expensive and spend more time in South Africa. The bus was kept clean but the seats are old and need replacing. I would also forgo the campsite at Sousselvea ? brutally hot and no shade.

I was going to go for 10 as the trip was great but I took off 2 points due to the price being so high.

The main reason I recommend guided tours is because you get to know in deep the destination chosen, because you are with an experienced local guide that knows in detail the best spots to visit
