This 10 day Namibia, Chobe, and Vic Falls Tour is a well priced scheduled safari tour. It visits 5 x National Parks in Namibia and Botswana. Starting in Windhoek and ending in Victoria Falls.
Experience the fantastic scenery, wildlife, and cultures in Namibia and Botswana. This tour spends quite a bit of time in the Zambezi Region. The Kaza Transfrontier Park which used to be called the Caprivi Strip. This 280 mile long panhandle of Namibia has lush vegetation due to it being surrounded by 4 major rivers. Namely Chobe, Kwando Linyanti, and the mighty Zambezi. The Zambezi Region shares its borders with 4 countries. Angola, Botswana, Zambia, and Zimbabwe.
There are five protected areas in the region and in all of them you’ll find big game. Including water-loving species such as hippo, crocodile, sable, waterbuck, reedbuck, and buffalo. These are largely absent from the rest of Namibia. Additionally, the entire eastern Caprivi is a bird watchers paradise with over 430 species. Nearly 70% of Namibia’s total number of bird species has been recorded in this region.
You can compare the wildlife in the relatively dryer Etosha to the different wildlife along the rivers in the Zambezi and Chobe areas. This safari is Africa at its most pure.

However; this tour can depart on any date on request on a private basis. The tour is available with an English or German speaking guide.
