Southern Africa's Highlights: Cape Town to the Okavango Delta (Self-Launched)

A self-launched version of G Adventures' Signature 'National Geographic' trek from Cape Town to the Okavango Delta. Cover the same big-hitters — Cape Town's coastlines, a private-style wine and San culture day, Johannesburg's Apartheid Museum and Mandela legacy, Big Five safari drives in Kruger, the thundering Victoria Falls, a Chobe River cruise, and mokoro paddling through the Okavango Delta — but organised independently with budget lodges and guesthouses, self-booked safaris and public/overland transport. Expect a fraction of the cost of the original luxury trip while keeping the wildlife and landscapes centre stage.

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."
