Botswana, Zimbabwe & South Africa

1 itinerary · 0 open departures · 0 missions

Botswana, Zimbabwe, and South Africa form one of Africa's most rewarding travel corridors, spanning the vast Okavango Delta, the thundering Victoria Falls, and the iconic landscapes of the Cape. Botswana is renowned for high-quality, low-impact safari experiences in the Chobe National Park and the Okavango, where wildlife density is extraordinary. Zimbabwe offers cultural depth alongside natural drama, from the ancient ruins of Great Zimbabwe to world-class white-water rafting on the Zambezi River. South Africa rounds out the region with unmatched diversity — big-five game reserves, vibrant cities like Cape Town and Johannesburg, dramatic coastlines, and the famous Garden Route.

Essential Botswana: Self-Guided Wildlife & Nature Adventure

Skip the group tour price tag and explore Botswana's extraordinary wildlife corridors independently. This self-guided itinerary follows the same route as Intrepid's Essential Botswana trip — from Johannesburg through the Khama Rhino Sanctuary, Okavango Delta, Makgadikgadi Salt Pans and Chobe National Park, finishing at Victoria Falls. You'll swap the overland truck for a combination of shared shuttles, self-drive hire (or budget safari transfers), and locally booked mokoro and game drive experiences. Most activities can be booked directly with community-run operators or via GetYourGuide/Viator, saving you significantly on the packaged tour premium. Note: all costs are approximate estimates per person and will vary by season, availability and exchange rates.

Missions

Nobody's posted a Mission for Botswana, Zimbabwe & South Africa yet — which, frankly, is an opportunity.

Wait, what's a Mission?It's not a scheduled trip with dates and a minimum group size like a Departure — it's a goal. Learn to dive, do a Muay Thai camp, live somewhere for a month and work on something, chase one very specific experience. Post it, and other people chasing the same thing find you.

Be the first to post one: "Find the most locally-hated tourist trap and go anyway, unironically, in a costume."
