Chobe National Park and Okavango Delta
Victoria Falls
You can start this tour either in Kasane (Botswana) or in Victoria Falls (Zimbabwe). It's only a distance of about 80 km between these towns. Both towns have airports, but Victoria Falls might have better international connections.
Victoria Falls or Mosi-oa-Tunya ("The smoke that thunders") are one of the biggest waterfalls in the world. The falls and the Zambezi river mark the border between Zambia and Zimbabwe. The amount of water varies depending on the season with its peak usually in April.
Chobe National Park
After crossing the border to Botswana you will reach Kasane, the gateway to the Chobe National Park, which is popular for its massive population of elephants. You can enjoy a game drive in the park and/or a sunset cruise on the Chobe river where you will most likely spot some hippos.
Makgadikgadi Pans
The Makgadikgadi Pans are situated close to the towns Nata and Gweta where you can find accommodation.
The salt pan is all that remains of a formerly huge lake, which dried up several thousand years ago. There are still several small lakes left. If you are lucky, you can spot flamingos flying at sunset.
Maun and the Okavango Delta
The famous Okavango Delta is an inland delta formed where the Okavango river reaches the Kalahari desert. The town of Maun is known as the gateway to "the Delta". From here most of the trips start either by plane or 4x4 car and boat. During your stay in the Delta you can explore the nature and spot wildlife from the Mokoro (traditional wooden boat).
