After breakfast at your hotel in Windhoek, your guide will load your luggage into the vehicle, and we will set off northwards towards our exciting first destination of this safari; Etosha National Park!

We will explore the southwestern side of world famous Etosha park today, going for a morning drive after breakfast and returning to our lodge for lunch and a break in the heat of the day. We will return to the lodge after our afternoon game drive to enjoy dinner. Remember to look up before settling into your bed tonight – the African night sky, undisturbed by city lights out here in the bush, is truly amazing.

We have another full day to enjoy Etosha today, but we will also slowly make our way to the eastern side of the park, where we will overnight today. We will stop at Halali camp in the middle of the park for lunch. Tonight we will be at another comfortable lodge just outside the park’s Von Lindequist gate in the east, where we will sit around a fire after dinner, chat about the day’s sightings and enjoy a spectacular African night sky.

We will enjoy morning and afternoon game drives in Etosha’s game-rich eastern section today, returning to our lodge in the heat of the day for lunch and to relax. After another fantastic day in the park, we will return to our lodge and freshen up. We will then enjoy dinner and a good night’s rest. Tomorrow we are off to the Caprivi!

We will leave Etosha relatively early this morning after breakfast, making our way northeast. The Caprivi with its lush green woodlands and big wide rivers is completely different from what we have experienced in Etosha, and a further illustration that Namibia is not all dust and sand!It is a long drive for us today to get to the western side of the Caprivi, but it will be worth it. Our lodge is situated on the banks of the mighty Okavango river.

After breakfast this morning we will do a mixture of game drives in Bwabwata and Mahango National Parks, as well as a boat cruise on the Okavango river if we didn’t do one yesterday afternoon. Between game drives we will have lunch back at the lodge while enjoying more stunning views of the Okavango river. We will also return to the lodge for dinner and another night under the great African sky.

We start the morning with breakfast after which we proceed further east along the Caprivi Strip. After a drive of about 3 hours we will reach our next lodge and have lunch. It is situated on the banks of the beautiful Kwando river. In the afternoon we will explore this section of the Bwabwata National Park, or maybe even venture into the Mudumu National Park, with a mixture of game drives and boat cruises. Tomorrow we cross the border into Botswana!

After breakfast this morning you will be transferred to Kasane, driving through Katima Mulilo, the unofficial capital of the Caprivi Strip and a town that played a vital role in the South African Border War. After settling in at your lodge in Kasane you will enjoy a sundowner drink while revelling in the great view over the Chobe river.

Your entire day is dedicated to exploring Chobe! You will do a game drive and a boat cruise and depending on the time of the year, you will decide which to do first.

After breakfast and a final activity you will cross into Zimbabwe, the third and final country on our fantastic ECCVF safari. It is a short drive of about 80 km from Kasane to Victoria Falls, and remember to keep an eye out for wildlife as this road is famous for some incredible roadside sightings. After arriving in the town of Victoria Falls you have the option of going straight to the falls, also known as Mosi-oa-Tunya, or “The Smoke that Thunders”.

After a relaxing breakfast and depending on your flight times you will be transferred to Victoria Falls International Airport. Kindly arrange this transfer time directly with the lodge and please take note that this is for your own account.
