South Africa, Zimbabwe & Botswana

1 itinerary · 0 open departures · 0 missions

South Africa, Zimbabwe, and Botswana together form one of Africa's most iconic travel corridors, anchored by legendary landmarks like Cape Town, Victoria Falls, and the Okavango Delta. The region offers an extraordinary range of experiences — from Big Five safari game drives across Kruger National Park and the Chobe River to hiking the Drakensberg mountains and exploring the ancient ruins of Great Zimbabwe. Botswana is renowned for low-density, high-quality wildlife tourism, while South Africa draws travellers with its diverse cultures, vibrant cities, and world-class wine regions. The combination of wildlife, landscapes, and history makes this multi-country route a favourite for adventurous independent and group travellers alike.

Self-Launched Africa: Cape Town to the Okavango Delta

An epic 20-day self-launched safari adventure through South Africa, Zimbabwe, and Botswana — hitting all the same highlights as the G Adventures group tour but at a fraction of the cost. You'll explore Cape Town's iconic landmarks, track the Big Five across Kruger National Park, feel the thunder of Victoria Falls, and glide through the Okavango Delta in a traditional mokoro canoe. By booking your own flights, staying in quality guesthouses and budget lodges, and self-booking activities via GetYourGuide and Klook, you can save thousands compared to the commercial operator price. All costs are approximate estimates per person.

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: "Eat the strangest thing on the menu every single day for a week and document the regret."
