South Africa, Namibia, Botswana & Zimbabwe

1 itinerary · 0 open departures · 0 missions

Southern Africa is one of the world's most rewarding multi-country travel regions, spanning landscapes from South Africa's Cape Winelands and dramatic Garden Route coastline to Namibia's vast Namib Desert and towering red dunes at Sossusvlei. Botswana is renowned for world-class safari experiences in the Okavango Delta and Chobe National Park, home to some of Africa's largest elephant herds, while Zimbabwe draws visitors to the thundering Victoria Falls on the Zambezi River and the ancient ruins of Great Zimbabwe. The region attracts independent and group travellers seeking Big Five game drives, overland adventures, diverse cultures, and some of the most spectacular natural scenery on the continent.

Cape Town to Victoria Falls — Self-Launched (Independent Overland)

A self-launched version of Exodus's classic 20-day Cape Town to Victoria Falls overland route through South Africa, Namibia, Botswana and Zimbabwe. Instead of a guided overland truck, you'll piece the journey together using Intercape/Greyhound coaches, shared 4x4 shuttles, local taxis and self-booked game drives and river cruises. You'll hit the same highlights — Cape Point, Sossusvlei's dunes, Swakopmund, Etosha, the Okavango/Kavango River, Chobe and Victoria Falls — on a hostel/guesthouse budget. Costs are rough backpacker estimates; long transport legs and park entry fees are the biggest variables, so build in a buffer.

Missions

Nobody's posted a Mission for South Africa, Namibia, Botswana & Zimbabwe 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: "Learn the first 20 seconds of a local dance, then perform it, uninvited, at every bar you visit."
