| Day | Destination | Description |
| Days 1-3 | Johannesburg/Livingstone | Swap the bright lights of the City of Gold for the shimmering serenity of Botswana's remote Makgadikgadi Pans, a favoured haunt of hoofed animals. In adrenaline-packed Livingstone, perhaps admire the scenery clipped to a carabiner, swinging out over a gorge. A visit to the nearby Victoria Falls is a must and a relaxing cruise along the Zambezi is a great way to see a magnificent African sunset. |
| Day 4 | Chobe National Park | Game drives through the Chobe National Park are a treat for the eyes: with one of the highest concentrations of wildlife left on the continent, there's plenty of opportunity to encounter lions, leopards, zebras and more. The enormous elephant population here also means that families of tuskers are often seen. Take it all in while cruising on the Chobe River. |
| Days 5-8 | Okavango Delta | Spreading like a fan over 1.6 million ha, the Okavango Delta is a paradise for all kinds of unusual wildlife and prolific birdlife. The fan-like network of waterways forms a unique inland delta. Experience the watery wilderness while being poled along in a traditional hand-hewn canoe and embark on walking safaris to see animals such as hippos and antelopes up close. Be serenaded to sleep at night by the musical chirping of frogs. |
| Days 9-10 | Khama Rhino Sanctuary/Johannnesburg | Travel to the fringes of the Kalahari desert today and make a stop at the Khama Rhino Sanctuary. This community-run wildlife project pledges to protect the last of Botswana's white rhinos and provides also a final chance to view animals in the wild. |
