Botswana & Victoria Falls Couple Safari (8N): Green Season

On the first day of your trip, you will fly out to Zimbabwe and touch down at Victoria Falls International Airport. From the airport, it’s just a 20-minute drive up the A8 to The Victoria Falls Hotel. Built in 1904 for workers on the Cape–Cairo railway, this hotel is steeped in history, and it provides a very luxurious sort of base camp from which to explore the Falls and farther afield. There are relaxing lounges, three restaurants, a spa, a salon, a swimming pool, and Stanley’s Terrace, famous for its afternoon teas! You’ll stay in a Central Deluxe Room, which is furnished in the Edwardian style and provides all the comforts you could desire. Activities available at extra cost include wet-and-wild watersports, helicopter and microlight flights, horse trails, and serene river cruises.

Board basis and activities:
B&B accommodation, including parking and Wi-Fi.

After your time in Victoria Falls, you’ll transfer by road to Kasane Airport and fly to the Okavango Delta. The first few days of your safari will be spent at Splash Camp, a new property in the northern region of the Delta. Run by Kwando Safaris, Splash has a great location around a pan and provides highly personalised service! The communal spaces are found in a timber-and-thatch structure raised above ground level. They include a lounge, a dining area, and an orientation centre. Outside, there’s a fire-pit and a plunge pool. All guest rooms benefit from views of the pan, from a private veranda. Activities include day and night game drives, guided walks, boat cruises, mokoro excursions, and seasonal fishing and trips to nearby heronries.

Board basis and activities:
Full-board accommodation, including all meals and snacks, a selection of alcoholic and non-alcoholic drinks, all activities, and a laundry service.

On Day 6, you’ll leave Splash Camp and fly to the southern region of the Okavango Delta, for your stay at Gomoti Plains Camp. Located in a community-run concession, this property is named after the gomoti trees of the Delta’s waterways, which attract lots of storks and herons. The communal lounge and dining areas provide beautiful views over a lagoon, as do the camp’s eight classic safari tents, from their raised decking. Activities from Gomoti include game drives, guided walks, mokoro excursions, and motorboat safaris. Populations of predators, herbivores, and birds are impressive throughout the year – and the area is home to all Big Five species!
