Embark on an unforgettable 12-day self-drive safari, combining the best wildlife experiences in Namibia and Botswana.
Begin your journey at Etosha National Park, where you’ll encounter Africa’s iconic wildlife at its famous waterholes. Travel through the lush Caprivi Strip, rich in birdlife and unique ecosystems, before crossing into Botswana to explore the renowned Chobe Game Reserve, home to some of the continent’s largest elephant herds.
This itinerary offers the freedom of self-drive travel, with the option to upgrade to a private guided safari for a more personalized experience. Ideal for wildlife enthusiasts seeking a diverse and thrilling African adventure.
Expert Tip: To enhance your itinerary, consider extending your trip by adding a night in Chobe, followed by a day trip to the iconic Victoria Falls. This allows you to experience both the awe-inspiring falls and the incredible wildlife of the Chobe region. Alternatively, you can extend your stay by 1-2 days, spending your final day in Victoria Falls to fully explore the area before departing from Victoria Falls Airport. Either option offers a perfect balance of adventure and relaxation, making your journey even more unforgettable.
