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, spanning the southern tip of the continent through landlocked savannahs and river deltas. The region is renowned for its extraordinary wildlife, from the Big Five roaming Kruger National Park and Botswana's Okavango Delta to the massive elephant herds of Chobe. Zimbabwe is home to Victoria Falls — one of the world's largest waterfalls and a hub for adventure activities like white-water rafting and bungee jumping. Travellers are drawn here for epic safari experiences, diverse landscapes, rich cultural heritage, and the chance to cross multiple borders on a single overland journey.

South Africa & Victoria Falls on a Shoestring: Cape Town to Kruger to the Smoke That Thunders

A self-launched 17-day version of Expat Explore's "South Africa Escape with Victoria Falls" — same route (Cape Town → Garden Route → Route 62 → Kruger → Victoria Falls), same headline experiences, but booked independently. You'll use Baz Bus hop-on-hop-off coaches along the Garden Route, budget flights to Joburg and Vic Falls, shared safari vehicles in Kruger, and backpackers/guesthouses throughout. Expect roughly £1,650-1,950 all-in (excluding international flights), against an operator price of ~£3,100 for the land-only tour. Note: costs are approximate and vary by season and how many optional activities you add.

Missions

Nobody's posted a Mission for South Africa, Zimbabwe & Botswana 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."
