Discover the game-rich private reserve on a variety of activities, including game drives, bush walks, canoe expeditions, river cruises at sunset, and private tours of Victoria Falls.
Next, take a three-night stay in the Linyanti Reserve in northern Botswana. This exclusive area is home to massive buffalo herds and is known as one of the greatest spots in Africa to see predators like lions, leopards, cheetahs, and wild dogs. You’ll be sharing the reserve with a small group of upscale lodges.
Come to a close in Mombo, located in the Okavango Delta—one of Africa’s most renowned and exclusive concessions—at one of many similarly desirable camps. The amazing variety of species here justifies its name as the “place of plenty,” and it will be the perfect site to end your journey.
