SOUTHERN AFRICA
Walking Holidays from Cape Town to Victoria Falls
Our African Walkabout allows you to experience the West Coast of South Africa, Namibia, Botswana and Victoria Falls in Fish River Canyon, Sossusvlei, Swakopmund, Himba Tribes, Etosha National Park, Okavango Delta, Western Caprivi, Chobe National Park & Victoria Falls.
The West Coast of South Africa stretches over 400 km from south to north and under normal conditions we shall see the spectacular carpets of wildflowers of the famous Namaqualand region.
Namibia is situated on the Atlantic coast of Africa but the general landscape is dominated by the oldest desert in the world, the Namib. The surrounding areas are dry and visually impressive, with interesting flora and fascination geological formations. In Namibia we come "face to face" with lots of big game - elephants, lions, giraffes, zebra etc. It is very special seeing these wild animals in their natural habitat.
Botswana is known to be hot and dry, with the exception of the lush oasis of the Okavango Delta - reputedly one of the most beautiful places in the world! Largely off-the-beaten track, Botswana is a haven for wildlife - especially elephants.
Victoria Falls is the largest waterfall in the world, making it one of the world's "Seven Natural Wonders! In the 1800's Victoria Falls was described by the nearby Kololo as 'Mosi-oa-Tunya' which means "the smoke that thunders" - illustrating the powerful forces of Victoria Falls!
David Livingstone is believed to be the first explorer to have discovered Victoria Falls; in 1860 he spread the word about his travels there. The area soon became a popular tourist attraction, especially on the Zimbabwean side.
OUR HOTEL & CUISINE
Our accommodation includes permanent
camps, bush cabins, chalets in a Reserve Park and the luxury of an Eco Lodge on the edge of Africa's highest sand dunes.
Most of our meals are at our lodges but sometimes our guides prepare our dinner on the campfire and we dine under the stars - with a dazzling display of the southern hemisphere night sky.
Latest News: Due to a recent cancelation we now have 2 spaces available for our African Walkabout on 15 October this year. For details and further information please contact us.
