From desert dunes to wilderness wetlands, experience the best of Southern Africa on this two-week African safari. By day, soak up the sheer beauty and diversity of Southern Africa as you explore her greatest treasures. By night, relax in the comfort of an intimate wilderness lodge as you recount stories of the day’s exciting adventures.
Explore Namibia’s vast sand dune deserts in Namib Naukluft Park on foot and by nature drive, taking in the Park's incredible views, desert animals, flora and fauna. Soar above the desert in a hot air balloon and kayak alongside seals, penguins and seabirds in Walvis Bay. Shake the sand off as you fly East into Botswana to discover the exact opposite in scenery and habitat in the wetland paradise of the Okavango Delta. Travel by foot and dugout canoe with expert guides, eager to share this fascinating environment – from its mighty elephants to tiniest reed frog. Fly north over pristine landscape to open plains scattered with palms and wooded savannas, spotting herds of buffalo, zebra and giraffe and, of course, the predators that stalk them. Wrap up your Africa sojourn with two nights at the mighty Victoria Falls.
Accommodations:

Kulala Desert Lodge lies in the heart of the Namib. It offers magnificent views of the famous red dunes of Sossusvlei as well as spectacular mountain scenery and vast open plains.

A castle built at the turn of the 20th century by Count von Schwerin for his fiancé, Margarethe von Heinitz. Today it offers accommodation in plush romantic elegance. Perched high above Windhoek, Leo’s Restaurant boasts spectacular vistas of the city lights below. Savor masterfully prepared game dishes and relish fine wines from the country’s largest private wine cellar.
