Signature Botswana & Namibia Safari

There’s Africa, and then there’s Botswana. Experience the ultimate wildlife adventure through some of the best wildlife reserves you’ll ever see. Keep your camera at the ready to capture the lions and elephants of Moremi National Park, Chobe National Park and the Okavango Delta. Think intoxicating sunsets, tranquility and endless horizons: your safari is immersed in the remoteness that is hallmark of a high-quality wildlife experience. This fly-in safari will show you some of the best that Botswana has to offer. Our safari trips ends in iconic Victoria Falls with even more exciting activities to unfold within the boundaries of the untamed African bush.
Then journey to Namibia. Few countries in Africa can match Namibia’s sheer natural beauty. The country’s name comes from it’s oldest desert, the Namib. There are few more stirring desert realms on the planet, from the sand sea and perfect dead-tree valleys at Sossusvlei to the otherworldliness of sand dunes plunging down to the sea at the Skeleton Coast.okav

Roommate Matching Policy

Roommate matching is done as a courtesy and while most matches result in wonderful friendships, success is not guaranteed. If during the tour you decide you would no longer like to share a room with your roommate you will need to request (and pay for) a single room at all accommodations. This can be shared between the two people in the room if it is a mutual decision. If you are a very light sleeper or snore you may want to consider getting your own single room.
