Introduction

13 Oct 2019 - 24 Oct 2019

Ok travelers... here's your chance to check a big one off your bucket list! You are invited to join our favorite Twin Cities meteorologist, Sven Sundgaard, and Borton Overseas Africa Specialist Andrea Berger on an adventure in Southern Africa this October. We are highlighting areas all shaped by water!

Borton Overseas has crafted this itinerary exclusively for those looking to experience the thrill of safari and the vast wilderness of Botswana's pans, plains, and waterways, ending at the world-famous Victoria Falls! 

We have handpicked a fun combination of accommodations offering excellent value, location, comfort, and ambiance. Our journey showcases the incredible diversity of Botswana's landscapes and natural habitats, from the stark Nxai Pan to the game-rich Moremi Game Reserve in the heart of the Okavango Delta region.  Activities range from game drives, guided walks, visiting a rural village and exploring the Okavango in a traditional mokoro canoe. Elephants, hippos, giraffes, lions, and countless other wildlife await.

Yep — bucket list stuff!

From Botswana we head to a natural wonder of the world and the world's largest falling curtain of water (one mile across) — the Victoria Falls. We'll cap our journey here with a 2-night stay in a cozy guest lodge, giving us time to view the Falls, do a bit of bartering in the markets, and contemplate an optional adrenaline activity or two (white water rafting, bungee jumping, canoeing etc.)

This trip will appeal to anyone with a desire to experience a safari in Southern Africa with a small, like-minded group of travelers. Perfect for friends, couples and solo travelers alike! Should you have more time, Borton Overseas will be happy to offer options to extend your time in Africa.

QUESTIONS? Email Andrea at Borton Overseas — andrea@bortonovereas.com — or call her direct line at 612-248-8222. Space is limited to just 14 travelers plus the hosts. Don't let this opportunity slip off your bucket list!
