Okavango Houseboat & Caprivi Strip From Maun, our journey begins at the Okavango Panhandle, a geological fault that restricts the meandering river until its release into the main delta. Here we enjoy the unique experience of a three-night stay on a houseboat spending the days exploring the vast reed beds and lagoons. There's also plenty of time for walks, village visits, birdwatching and fishing and we also include an excursion to visit the famous rock paintings at Tsodilo Hills. 'Vic Falls', Chobe & Moremi Reserves After traversing Namibia's Caprivi Strip, we reach Livingstone, the adventure capital of Zambia. We'll visit the raging Smoke that Thunders', Victoria Falls, and a range of optional activities including a bush walk to nearby Mosi-oa-Tunya National Park. During the next 5 days we'll explore the wildlife parks of Chobe and Moremi, a lush landscape of forests and flood plains. Giraffe, buffalo and large herds of elephant are commonly sighted, as well as predators such as lion, leopard, jackal and hyena. Into the Okavango Delta Finally we head into the Okavango Delta itself. A huge freshwater oasis in the Kalahari Desert, hundreds of species are attracted to
