A Journey Through Southern Africa

Botswana & ZimbabweJuly 2027 9 nights Max 6

Join a WildEarth guide on an unforgettable adventure through the wild heart of southern Africa as we explore three of the continent's most celebrated wilderness areas: Hwange National Park and Victoria Falls in Zimbabwe, and the Okavango Delta in Botswana.

This carefully curated safari has been designed to showcase the incredible diversity of southern Africa's landscapes, wildlife and experiences. From the vast plains of Hwange to the life-giving waterways of the Okavango Delta, every day offers new opportunities for discovery and unforgettable wildlife encounters.

The safari opens at Camp Hwange, set around a busy waterhole where elephants, buffalo and plains game gather day and night. Guests watch it all unfold at eye level from the camp's renowned log pile hides, ideal for photography and close encounters.

From there, guests experience Victoria Falls from every angle: a scenic helicopter flight, a guided walk beside the cascading water, a sunset cruise on the Zambezi and dinner aboard a historic train.

The journey continues to the Okavango Delta and the wilderness around Karangoma, where the experience extends beyond game drives. Depending on water levels, guests explore by mokoro or boat, join guided walks and night drives, and take in some of Africa's clearest night skies.

Throughout, an experienced WildEarth guide shares insights on wildlife, ecosystems and conservation. With a maximum of six guests, the safari offers personalised guiding and the chance to share the experience with like-minded travellers.

Where You’ll Stay

Camp Hwange

Hwange National Park · Zimbabwe

A rustic, traditional camp of 8 canvas-walled units beneath cooling thatch, Camp Hwange overlooks one of the natural waterholes that make this part of Hwange National Park special. Founded in 2010 by a well-known professional guide, Camp Hwange’s location is strategic. This private concession in the central part of Hwange lies between the rugged mopane woodlands to the north and the sandy soil teak forests to the south-west; it’s location here on this open savannah ecotone means that game viewing is as diverse as its habitat types. Aside from fantastic game viewing, especially in the drier months from April through to November, Camp Hwange offers an excellent guided experience with a strong emphasis on walking and tracking.

Karangoma

Okavango Delta · Botswana

Located in the northern section of NG12, with roughly 30 000ha of traversing area, Karangoma boasts a beautiful and productive overlap of Botswana’s northern woodlands (mopane and teak) with a mosaic of floodplains, lagoons and channels typical of the Okavango Delta. Bisecting the area is the arterial Makwegqana Channel, a crystal clear distributary of the Okavango that ultimately becomes the Selinda Spillway. The camp itself is located on a forested peninsula reaching out into the seasonally inundated floodplains. Karangoma means “drum beating, ancestral healing, or when one is ill, cure dancing’. Today it is a connection with nature that is the most important healer.
