Mhoro! Welcome to Zimbabwe. Your adventure begins with a welcome meeting at 6 pm in Victoria Falls. If you arrive early, maybe head to the Shear Water Activity Centre to see what optional activities are available. Maybe explore the village and township or take a helicopter flight over the cascades and see the falls from a bird’s eye view. After the welcome meeting, sit down to a traditional Zimbabwean dinner and cultural performance by White Star, who celebrate and preserve African stories and values through movement, while their profits go to supporting vulnerable groups and providing free dance lessons to local youth. Dinner will feature local Zimbabwean dishes, including village-style goat stew and peanut butter rice.
Travel to Chobe National Park in Botswana this morning. You’ll stop at the Victoria Falls Wildlife Trust along the way – one of The Intrepid Foundation’s projects. Here, you’ll learn about the rescue and rehabilitation of wildlife, the human-wildlife conflict and the trust’s role in anti-poaching. There may also be a chance to meet any rescued or orphaned wildlife currently in their care. Chobe National Park was the first national park to be established in Botswana and is best known for its high concentration of elephants, which can often be seen swimming in the Chobe River. The river also attracts wallowing hippos, a variety of birdlife and crocodiles that like to sun themselves by the water’s edge. Cheetahs and lions also come down to drink in the river, so if you’re lucky, you might spot one of the predators, too! In the late afternoon, embark on a scenic sunset cruise on the Chobe River guided by an expert local guide and look out for wildlife.
- Your travel time today will be approximately 3 hours.
- Your camp tonight is located outside of the park and has flush toilets, showers, intermittent wi-fi and optional accommodation upgrades.
This morning, there’s time for a morning game drive for those who would like to further explore this beautiful park. As well as elephants, you might see some of Chobe National Park’s other noble creatures – from giraffes and zebras to impala and tsessebe (African antelope). Then, it’s time to head to Maun. This town is the gateway to one of the world’s most famous and most complex ecosystems – the Okavango Delta. It’s a bit of a long drive to get there, so grab a window seat if you can and take the opportunity to soak in the everchanging landscape.
- Your travel time today will be approximately 11 hours.
Travel into the unspoiled wilderness this morning for an adventurous camping experience. The Okavango Delta is unlike anything in the world – a 16,000 square km maze of wetlands made up of waterways, green islands, lush plains and prolific wildlife. The delta is filled with diverse flora and fauna, including hippos, crocodiles, elephants and big cats, but the main attraction is really the incredible ecosystem. You’ll explore the waterways by mokoros (traditional dugout canoes navigated by friendly local ‘polers’). Spend some time exploring on foot with your experienced and knowledgeable guides and learn more about how the delta works. Tonight, camp on a remote island in the heart of the wilds and listen to the nocturnal creatures of the African bush come to life as the sun goes down.
- Camping in the remote delta is an incredible experience, but it means the toilets will be dug, and no showers will be available.
It’s an early start this morning as you venture out for a sunrise walk to catch a glimpse of some local elephants and maybe a few Cape buffalo. After, return to camp for breakfast and enjoy a leisurely free day to relax. You might like to go on an afternoon walk, or there’s the opportunity to go on another mokoro trip. You may notice that the mokoros of today are made with fibreglass (rather than wood) but retain their original shape – this keeps the traditional feel of the boats while reducing the amount of tree-cutting in the delta.
This morning, enjoy a relaxing morning to say goodbye to the delta. Then, it’s on to your next stop. After taking down your camp, head out on a mokoro safari on your way out of the Delta, then board the vehicle back to Maun. When you arrive, you’ll have the option to take a scenic helicopter flight over Maun and the delta, seeing things from a bird’s-eye view.
- Your travel time today will be approximately 3 hours.
- The price of the optional scenic flights will vary depending on the number of travellers who participate.
Travel to the Khama Rhino Sanctuary this morning. On the edge of the Kalahari Desert, the Khama Rhino Sanctuary is a community-based conservation project staffed by local village residents. Built in a former hunting area to protect Botswana’s only remaining populations of both black and white rhinos, the sanctuary is also home to other wildlife including zebras, giraffes, leopards, ostriches and wildebeest, all of which can be seen around the many natural waterholes. Visiting this project benefits local communities and contributes to the protection of the highly endangered white rhinoceros. In the evening, head out on a dusk game drive in an open safari vehicle with an expert local ranger to see the rhinos (this will be replaced by a dawn game drive if the group arrives at the sanctuary too late).
- Your travel time today will be approximately 10 hours.
- Your camp tonight has shared facilities and optional upgrades.
Cross the border into South Africa and travel on to Johannesburg (approximately 10–11 hours). Johannesburg is a sprawling city of remarkable contrasts. As you come into town, you’ll likely see opulent mansions alongside tin-roof shacks, and verdant city parks alongside the concrete. Enjoy a relaxing evening upon arrival.
- Your travel time today will be approximately 11 hours.
Head to Soweto and take to the streets on a bicycle. Learn about the Soweto uprising and the resistance against apartheid. It’s interesting to see how the community has changed and developed into what it is today. You’ll also visit a former migrant workers’ hostel and stop at many other local landmarks. Your cycling adventure should finish at around 3 pm today, after which you will be returned to your hotel in Johannesburg. With no further activities planned, your trip comes to an end at this point.
- No accommodation is provided tonight, but this can be arranged when booking this trip. If you are departing, it’s best to book a flight for 8 pm or later. You will have the option to head straight from Soweto to the airport.

Welcome to Africa! Your adventure begins at Victoria Falls, one of the Seven Natural Wonders of the World. You’ll have a welcome meeting at 2 pm, where you’ll meet your trip leader and the other families who will be joining you for your adventure. After, you’ll start exploring this thundering curtain of water – about 1708 m (5600 ft) wide, falling 108 m (354 m) into a narrow gorge below. In the wet season, the spray can rise up to an incredible 400 m (1312 ft) and the Falls become an impressive, raging torrent. In the dry season, the view of the Falls is unobstructed by spray, and you can see little islets in the river below. If you arrive early, don’t hesitate to get out and start exploring on your own! You can choose from a range of activities and excursions, including whitewater rafting, canoeing and helicopter flights.
Have breakfast and pack up camp, then travel to Chobe National Park. Botswana’s first national park, Chobe is perhaps best known for its high concentration of elephants, which can often be seen swimming in the Chobe River. The river also attracts wallowing hippos, cheetahs and lions in search of a drink, crocodiles lying in the sun by the water’s edge and a variety of birdlife like the white-backed night heron, vibrant Schalow’s turaco and the western banded snake eagle. Later, enjoy a sunset cruise on the Chobe River – a relaxing way to spend the afternoon with the family.
Your travel time today is approximately 3 hours.
Head out on an exciting game drive through Chobe National Park. You might spot cheetahs, leopards, hyenas, elephants, buffalo, lions, and antelopes. Then, hit the road and make your way to Nata, where you’ll spend the evening at Elephant Sands Lodge. A natural waterhole right in front of the lodge is a popular spot for the local elephants, who frequently come for a drink. Watch these incredible creatures whilst they drink only a couple of meters away from you – a moment you and the kids are sure to remember. Keep an eye out for the other wildlife that roams this unfenced 16,000 ha private conservancy, including buffalo, lions, giraffes, wild dogs, hyena, steenbok, leopards and kudu.
Your travel time today is approximately 7 hours.
Get ready for another long travelling day on the road to Maun, the gateway to one of the world’s most renowned and complex ecosystems – the Okavango Delta. This 16,000-sq-km maze of wetlands is made up of meandering waterways, green islands, lush plains and prolific wildlife. You might see hippos, crocodiles, elephants and big cats. Tonight, you’ll stay at a campsite on the outskirts of Maun. Get some rest as camp tonight – tomorrow morning, you’re heading into the Delta for a full day of cruising and exploring.
Your travel time today is approximately 7 hours.
Tonight’s campsite is basic. It has shared facilities and wi-fi.
Cruise around the waterways of the Okavango Delta by mokoro – a traditional dugout canoe navigated by friendly local ‘polers’. With some luck, you might spot some of the Delta’s rare wildlife, including hippos, cheetahs, leopards, hyenas, buffalo and an abundance of birdlife (there are more than 560 recorded bird species here!). Spend time exploring the maze of lagoons, lakes and streams on foot, led by experienced and knowledgeable guides. Tonight, you’ll camp on a remote island in the heart of the Okavango wilderness. In this remote spot, facilities aren’t available – this means digging a bush toilet and going without a shower (all part of the Okavango experience). At night, fall asleep to the humming and buzzing of the African wilderness.
Wake up early and head out for a sunrise walk. Along the way, keep an eye out for elephants and maybe even some Cape buffalo, if the timing is right. These rather noble-looking creatures are more dangerous than they look, and their horns make for a kind of bone shield that’s fittingly known as a ‘boss’. Return to camp for breakfast, then enjoy free time for the rest of the day. You might like to take the opportunity to relax at camp, or you could take another mokoro trip to soak up more of the delightful river atmosphere.
After breakfast, take a mokoro back to the poling station. Then, continue to Maun, where you’ll have a free day at the campsite. There’s the option to go on a scenic helicopter flight over the Okavango Delta, where you’ll get a bird’s-eye view of the shimmering waterways and lush landscapes – a captivating perspective of one of the world’s most unique ecosystems.
Embrace another early morning start as you hit the road to the Khama Rhino Sanctuary. Situated on the edge of the Kalahari Desert, this former hunting area has now been turned into a conservation project. Built to protect Botswana’s only remaining populations of both black and white rhinos, the sanctuary is also home to other wildlife including zebras, giraffes, leopards, ostriches and wildebeest, all of which can be seen around the many natural waterholes. Your visit to this project supports local communities and contributes to the protection of the white rhinoceros. Later, head out on a dusk game drive to see the rhinos when they’re at their most active.
- Your travel time today is approximately 9 hours.
Leaving Botswana behind, cross the border into South Africa and arrive at Marakele National Park in the afternoon. This national park has diverse terrain, making it easy to spot a variety of wildlife – you might see gemsbok, mongoose, African wild cats, black-backed jackals, warthogs, a range of birdlife and maybe even a black-maned lion, if you’re lucky. If time allows, you’ll go on an afternoon game drive in the park before settling into camp for your final night in the wilderness.
- Your travel time today is approximately 8 hours.
- On occasion, especially during the peak months of May to September and December, we may be unable to secure campsites within Marakele National Park. In this case, we will camp at an alternative site outside of the park.
After breakfast, drive to Johannesburg. You’ll arrive in the late afternoon, bringing you to the end of your trip. If you’d like to extend your stay in Johannesburg, just speak to your booking agent ahead of time.
- Your travel time for today is approximately 6 hours.
- We recommend you book your departure flight no earlier than 8 pm.

Botswana Highlights
Mhoro! Welcome to Zimbabwe. Your adventure begins in Victoria Falls with a welcome meeting at 6 pm. If you arrive early, and it’s recommended that you do, maybe check out some of the optional activities around Victoria Falls. The Zimbabwe side of the falls offers the broadest view of this colossal natural wonder. Scenic helicopter flights are incredible – if you opt for one, choose Zambezi Helicopter Company (CAA Zimbabwe), the only operator Intrepid endorses. After the welcome meeting, why not get to know your fellow travellers over a group dinner.
This morning, you’ll leave Victoria Falls behind and head to Elephant Sands via the Victoria Falls Wildlife Trust – one of the projects The Intrepid Foundation supports. Here you can learn about the rescue and rehabilitation of wildlife, human-wildlife conflict and the Trust’s role in anti-poaching. There may also be a chance to meet any rescued or orphaned wildlife currently in their care. Then, travel across the Kazungula border into Botswana and make your way to your accommodation in Elephant Sands. Located in a private concession bordering on the Chobe Forest Reserve, the watering hole at Elephant Sands lodge attracts herds of elephants and other wildlife in season. Take a guided bush walk through the unfenced 16,000-hectare private conservancy, which is home to a variety of wildlife. You may even spot some of Africa’s lesser-known species! Tonight, maybe soak up the sounds of the wilderness with a glass of wine as you overlook the waterhole, keeping an eye out for the roaming animals.
After breakfast, drive to Maun – a bustling town on the edge of the Okavango Delta – arriving in the afternoon. When you get there, you’ll have the opportunity to take in this UNESCO World Heritage site from above on an optional scenic helicopter flight (your leader can help arrange this for you). After, settle in for the night at your comfortable hotel in the heart of Maun.
Your travel time today will be approximately 6.5 hours.
Head out from Maun this morning, making your way further to the northwestern part of the Okavango Delta. Hop into a 4WD for the last 12 km (7.5 mi) and take in the beautiful scenery as you pass through. When you arrive, settle into the lodge where you’ll be spending the next two nights, located on the edge of the Guma Lagoon.
Your travel time today will be approximately 6 hours.
Today, you’ll hop into mokoros (traditional dugout canoes) for a water-level exploration of the delta. Glide through papyrus and reed beds to lily-covered lagoons and islands, keeping an eye out for elephants, antelope, warthogs and other wildlife. Afterward, enjoy a short bushwalk on one of the islands before returning to the lodge for a delicious lunch. Then, spend the afternoon at leisure, maybe relaxing by the pool. Finish out the day with sunset cruise on the delta.
After breakfast, jump back into the 4WD to return to your overland truck, then make your way to the Namibian border. The drive to tonight’s camp on the Caprivi banks of the Okavango River, passes through the Mahango Game Reserve – keep your eyes peeled for the surrounding wildlife on the drive, like elephants and buffalo.
Your travel time today will be approximately 5 hours, including immigration formalities.
Today, you’ll gain insight into the ancient hunter-gatherer culture of the Khwe Indigenous group during a visit to The Living Museum of the Khwe. There are approximately 4000 members of the Khwe community living in Namibia, and their traditional culture is one of the most endangered in the country. Spend time in the museum village – a collection of traditional grass huts where you’ll learn about the Khwe way of life and pre-colonial customs. Maybe forge an arrow or braid a papyrus bracelet. Perhaps take a guided walk through the bush to spot antelopes – a great way to better understand the Khwe’s excellent tracking skills. After, head back to the lodge, where you can freshen up and get ready for your sunset cruise on the Okavango River. It’s a magical time to reflect on all you’ve seen so far.
Continue your journey today along the Caprivi Strip, located in the newly formed Kavango-Zambezi Trans Frontier Park. After crossing the border back into Botswana, you’ll arrive at Kasane, surrounded by Chobe National Park. Taking its name from the river that marks the border between Namibia and Botswana, Chobe boasts the largest population of elephants in Africa, plus an abundance of birdlife and pods of wallowing hippos. Maybe check out Kasane town or take a dip in the lodge pool. You can spend your evening by the open outdoor fire or simply watch the setting sun change colours in the sky above the river.
Your travel time today will be approximately 7 hours.
Wake up early and head out for a dawn wildlife drive in Chobe National Park, where you may see elephants drinking at the water’s edge, large herds of Cape buffalo and many impalas. Return to the lodge for a late breakfast, then enjoy the rest of the day free. This evening, you’ll head out on a sunset cruise on the Chobe River. At the right time of year, the river is frequented by large families of elephants crossing the banks, drinking and playing in the water. It’s also ideal for spotting birdlife like saddle-billed storks, malachite kingfishers, fish eagles and beautiful bee-eaters, as well as hippos and crocodiles. Why not grab a sundowner from the small bar onboard, then sit back and watch the sunset over the river – a relaxing way to end the day.
It can get very cool on the early-morning safari, so be sure to rug up and dress in layers.
Enjoy breakfast at the lodge before heading to the Zimbabwean border. After completing the border formalities, drive the remaining distance to Victoria Falls. Your adventure ends when you arrive and no accommodation is included tonight. If you’d like to extend your stay in Victoria Falls, just speak to your booking agent ahead of time. Those staying longer can visit the falls and choose from various activities and excursions, including white water rafting and canoeing.
Your travel time today will be approximately 3 hours.
If you’re flying out tonight, we recommend not booking international flights departing before 2 pm to allow enough time for travel and possible border delays.

I’m always amazed at how The Accommodation Brokers manage to find better rates than we can ourselves.
For our recent trip to Fiji, they came back with a quote that was $700 cheaper than anything we found! We’re so grateful for their help and the incredible value they consistently deliver.
We booked our Canada holiday accommodation, Rocky Mountaineer journey and car rental through The Accommodation Brokers after sending them the prices we had found ourselves. They came back with better rates on every component, saving us over $1,650. We honestly couldn’t have asked for more and will definitely be booking through them again.
I recently booked a Scenic Cruise for my wife and myself through The Accommodation Brokers and was absolutely delighted with the experience. Not only did they provide exceptional service, but we also saved over $1,800.00 compared to other options.
We had initially approached Flight Centre and Scenic Direct, but after a colleague recommended The Accommodation Brokers, we decided to give them a try — and we’re so grateful we did.
We truly couldn’t be happier with the outcome. We will most certainly be booking with them again and highly recommend their services to others.
We discovered The Accommodation Brokers through our Northern Beaches Community Facebook page and are so pleased we did. After visiting their website, we used the “Submit Your Price” option — and the experience was absolutely fantastic.
Thanks to their service, we saved over $400.00 on our accommodation in Bali, with everything exactly as quoted and presented. The process was simple, transparent, and delivered exactly what was promised. We couldn’t be happier with the outcome and truly appreciate the savings and great service.
I booked my family’s trip to the Maldives through The Accommodation Brokers, as we’re fortunate to have access to their services through our workplace membership. After searching extensively online, we found the Sheraton Maldives Full Moon Resort & Spa on Booking.com and submitted the details to The Accommodation Brokers to see if they could assist.
To our delight, they came back with a saving of $678.00 compared to the best rate we had found ourselves. The process was simple and seamless, and the savings were genuine.
We’ve since used The Accommodation Brokers on three more occasions and have saved on every trip. We’re incredibly grateful for the consistent value and service they provide and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them.
We’ve just returned from our incredible trip to Africa, where we booked an Intrepid tour through South Africa and Botswana. It was truly a once-in-a-lifetime experience — absolutely unforgettable — and something we would highly recommend everyone do at least once.
We arranged our booking through The Accommodation Brokers and were thrilled to save $1,200.00 compared to booking directly with Intrepid. We were genuinely amazed at the savings they were able to secure for us.
We’re so grateful for both the experience and the value they delivered, and we’ll certainly continue using their services for future travels.
We recently submitted our Luxury Escape holiday package to Bali to The Accommodation Brokers team to see if they could match the pricing we had received directly from Luxury Escapes.
Not only did they match it — they beat it by $313.00.
What impressed us most was that it wasn’t a ‘like for like’ comparison with reduced benefits or different conditions. It was exactly the same inclusions, the same resort, the same room category, and the same terms and conditions — just at a better price.
The process was simple, transparent, and completely stress-free. Knowing we could secure the same Luxury Escapes Bali holiday while saving money gave us enormous confidence in booking through them.
We wouldn’t hesitate to use The Accommodation Brokers again and highly recommend anyone to have their quote checked before booking.”
As a Financial Advisor and member of the Financial Advice Association Australia, we have access to book our accommodation and travel through The Accommodation Brokers. I recently used them for the first time for a trip to Adelaide and was genuinely impressed.
I sent through the pricing I had received for a three-night stay at the Grosvenor Hotel Adelaide by Accor, just to see how they compared. They came back with a price that was $140.00 cheaper — for exactly the same room, same dates, and same inclusions.
The whole process was easy and seamless, and it was great to know I was getting better value without sacrificing anything. I’ll definitely be using The Accommodation Brokers again for future travel.
