EXPEDITION AFRICA: 29 Feb – 14 March 2024
Day 1 – 2: Cape Town – Orange River – Namibia
We’ll drive through the exciting and Scenic South African landscape, head for the Namibian border, and hope to cross the Orange River on the first day – here we’ll enjoy camp fires, Braais (BBQ) and a few beers/wines (non-drinkers are welcome too) at one of the camps – then do some canoeing/rafting in the morning.
Days 3 – 4: Fish River Canyon
We’ll leave the Orange River and head to the Fish River Canyon, find a place to spend the night and then some activities in the canyon.
Days 4 – 5: Sossusvlei – Namib Desert
Leave the canyon and head towards the Namib Desert…google and find out more! We’ll probably stay at Hammerstein Lodge – great place, awesome atmosphere. If we have space for a board or two in the cars, we can go dune-surfing.
Day 6: WINDHOEK
Capital of Namibia – we get in, and get out. No disrespect, but the only reason to stop over here is this place.
Day 7-9: MAUN – OKAVANGO DELTA, BOTSWANA
Depending on the beer intake at Joe’s Beer House, we’ll try to get going at a decent hour, long day’s drive to Maun.
Day 10-11: CHOBE, BOTSWANA
We’ll spend the night in the spectacular Chobe national park
Day 12-14: LIVINGSTONE & VICTORIA FALLS
We’ve reached one of the 7 wonders of the world – where we’ve got some activities lined up:
- Bungee jump (optional extra):
111 metres from the classic Victoria Falls Bridge down towards the Zambezi River. - Eat Crocodile Ribs at Café Zambezi:
You won’t regret it, unless you’re vegetarian (hey, don’t worry – they have great veggie options too). (Included) - Go an an evening sunset booze & safari cruise:
See elephants, crocodiles, and various other creatures – it’s difficult to beat an evening on the Zambezi. - River rafting down the Zambezi (Optional extra)
if you’re up for it! An amazing experience, one of the best rafting available in the world. (Included) - A number of the many other activities to get into –
in Vic Falls and Livingstone
From here we’ll see – you might want to fly out of Livingstone and back home, or perhaps you will be able to hitch a cheap ride back in our vehicles down to Johannesburg and/or Cape Town – not set in stone yet.
Are you up for it?
This is a different kind adventure, you won’t find this at a travel agency. You will take part in driving the expedition vehicles (if you want) and being an active participant in the expedition team. We aim to put together a small group of about 8-10 people, in two or three 4×4 vehicles.
Minimum number of travellers for the tour to happen: 6.
South Africa – Namibia – Botswana – Zambia
Dates: 1 – 12 August 2022
COST: $1490 pp.
Includes a seat on this adventure – from Cape Town to Vic Falls.
Costs for meals, drinks, activities and accommodation we will split among the group. Accommodation will be a combination of permanent tents and bungalows – pretty comfortable but nothing fancy. If you’re a fussy traveller, this is not for you! Count approximately another $75 per day, depending on activities you want to do.
