Cape Town To Victoria Falls Grand Explorer

An Overland Adventure Through Southern Africa

Travel from Cape Town to Victoria Falls on an extended small group adventure through South Africa, Namibia, Botswana and Zimbabwe. Over three weeks, the landscapes change dramatically, from the Cape and vast Namib Desert to wildlife-rich national parks, the waterways of the Okavango Delta and the thundering spectacle of Victoria Falls. Rather than flying between the major highlights, this journey travels overland, allowing you to experience the distances, landscapes and contrasts that make this part of Africa so remarkable. Along the way, game viewing, desert landscapes, waterways and remote wilderness combine to create an adventure where getting from one place to another becomes part of the experience.

Small Group Adventure, Designed For Discovery

Travelling with a maximum of 12 guests allows for a more personal style of touring and access to places that would be difficult to experience with a large coach group. The journey uses a purpose-built safari vehicle and combines lodges, guesthouses and other accommodation with wildlife experiences and time spent exploring on foot and by water. This is an adventurous style of travel rather than a conventional escorted tour. There are some long travel days and limited participation is expected, making it particularly suited to travellers who value the experience of travelling through the landscape as much as arriving at the next destination.

Why I Like This Journey

I love the sheer variety packed into this itinerary. You aren't simply visiting Cape Town, going on safari and seeing Victoria Falls. You travel through four countries and watch Southern Africa change around you, from desert and dunes to wildlife reserves, the Kalahari and the waterways of Botswana. For a 21-day small group journey, I also think it offers particularly interesting value.

Ideal For

Curious, reasonably active travellers who want to experience Southern Africa beyond a conventional safari holiday. It particularly suits those who enjoy wildlife and spectacular landscapes and don't mind longer overland travel days when the journey itself is part of the adventure.
