The classic combination of the Okavango Delta, Chobe and Victoria Falls, combines some of the best wildlife viewing anywhere in Africa alongside one of the natural wonders of the world. Contrast the exclusivity of the wildlife reserves in the Okavango Delta, along with the varied safari activities, with elephant-centric Chobe, with it’s famous sunset river cruises and throngs of congregating wildlife in the drier months. Then, start or finish your trip with some days in Victoria Falls (or neighbouring Livingstone) where you can enjoy viewing the Falls themselves and partake in the myriad of activities in the area. The itinerary below starts in Victoria Falls and finishes on safari but works equally well in reverse.
