Explorer Safaris 2027

From Thunder to Still Water to Salt Flats

Three nights at Victoria Falls Safari Lodge open the journey, above a waterhole overlooking Zambezi National Park: a guided tour of the Falls, a Premium River Safari, a village tour, a Boma dinner and drum show, and a five-course dinner aboard the Bushtracks Express Historic Train.

A charter and helicopter transfer then carries you to Maxa, in one of the Okavango Delta's least-visited corners - three nights of game drives, mokoro excursions, and motorised boat safaris around the hippo-frequented Maxa Lagoon.

A final flight delivers you to Leroo La Tau on the Boteti River, Makgadikgadi Pans National Park - three nights on the river that draws the region's zebra migration, with twice-daily game drives, a cultural visit to Khumaga Village, a day trip to Nxai Pan, and - seasonally - a night sleeping out under the stars on the salt pans.
