Victoria Falls is an awe-inspiring sight of beauty located on the Zambezi River, serving as the border between Zambia and Zimbabwe. The massive basalt cliffs over which the falls thunder transform the Zambezi from a calm river into rapids that carve their way through dramatic gorges. The falls have been designated as a National Park and World Heritage Site, and they are also one of the Seven Natural Wonders of the World. Visitors can enjoy activities such as swimming, bungee jumping, and zip-lining at the falls. Additionally, there are more relaxed activities available, including sunset cruises, walking tours, and interactions with elephants.

Northern Botswana hosts the Okavango Delta, a vast inland delta, and it is known as the world’s largest intact delta. This region is renowned for its expansive grasslands, which flood seasonally, providing a rich habitat for animals. The Okavango River feeds it during the drier months. The fan-shaped delta is a network of papyrus-fringed stretches that connect open areas teeming with water lilies. The Moremi Game Reserve covers the eastern and central parts of the region. Here, dugout canoes manoeuvre past hippos, elephants and crocodiles. On dry land, wildlife includes lions, leopards, giraffes and rhinos.
Located on the southern edge of the Okavango Delta, the town of Maun serves as the gateway to the northern regions of Botswana. For more than a century, this dusty town has been the starting point for expeditions to the North-West District of Botswana, which has become known as the country's safari capital. Many Okavango-oriented activities are available right on your doorstep. Taking a scenic flight over the southern delta is a wonderful way to see classic Botswana wildlife and big game. There are game reserves, safari tours, boat cruises, and overnight camping are some of the few things to be enjoyed here.
