Zimbabwe, Botswana & South Africa

1 itinerary · 0 open departures · 0 missions

Zimbabwe, Botswana, and South Africa form one of Africa's most iconic overland routes, spanning savannahs, river deltas, and dramatic coastlines. The region is world-renowned for wildlife, with the Okavango Delta, Chobe National Park, Hwange, and Kruger among the continent's premier safari destinations. Victoria Falls — one of the Seven Natural Wonders of the World — sits on the Zimbabwe-Zambia border and draws visitors for bungee jumping, white-water rafting, and breathtaking scenery. Travellers come for the combination of big-five game viewing, diverse cultures, and landscapes that range from the Kalahari Desert to South Africa's Garden Route and Cape Winelands.

Self-Launched Southern Africa: Victoria Falls, Chobe, Hwange, Kariba & Kruger to Cape Town

A self-launched version of G Adventures' 20-day Geluxe trip from Victoria Falls to Cape Town. You'll follow the same arc — Vic Falls, a Chobe overnight safari, Hwange's elephant herds and the Elephant Express rail car, Lake Kariba and Matusadona, then across to Johannesburg, a bush-craft/wildlife-tracking stay in the Lowveld, Kruger, the Winelands and Cape Town — but booking lodges, camps and activities yourself and using local shuttles, buses and budget flights. Costs are approximate backpacker/mid-range estimates in GBP per person, excluding international flights.

Missions

Nobody's posted a Mission for Zimbabwe, Botswana & 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: "Learn a completely impractical skill from a local — fire spinning, competitive coconut opening, whatever — and become weirdly good at it."
