12-Nights Botswana and Zimbabwe Family Adventure — CALL

This 13-day family safari brings together the best of Botswana and Zimbabwe, creating a unique itinerary for animal lovers of all ages. It even includes three nights at Victoria Falls, the ‘Smoke that thunders.’

Transfer to Moremi Game Reserve, which is nourished by the Khwai River in Botswana. You’re likely to encounter a wide array of animals including elephants, cheetahs, buffalo, zebra, lions, leopards, giraffes, hippos, and many more. The landscape completely changes at night as the nocturnal beasts come out to hunt. Daytime and nighttime game drives let you see the contrasts in full. You will even have the chance to explore on foot for a closer look.

Fly on to the Linyanti Concession, which features the world’s highest density elephant population. This is also a great area for spotting lions, leopards and cheetahs, as well as giraffes, impala, and buffalo. Guests can choose to extend their afternoon game drives into the night if they wish – particularly good for spotting big cats on the hunt! As at Khwai, guided walks can take you in for a deeper understanding of the area.

Fly on to Livingstone in Zambia, on the edge of Victoria Falls. Visit the Livingstone museum to learn about the town’s namesake, then explore the Zambian side of Victoria Falls, the world’s largest single sheet of falling water. Listen to the mighty Zambezi crash over the threshold to the rocks below, then rush through a series of canyons, each of which is a former location of the falls cut by years of erosion.

Cross to the Zimbabwean side of the falls, and board your flight to Hwange National Park. This is Zimbabwe’s biggest wildlife reserve and home to approximately 40,000 elephants. Again, you’ll enjoy game drives day and night with expert guides.
