Day 1-2: Arrive Livingstone - Stanley Safari Lodge
On arrival in Johannesburg connect with your flight to Livingstone, Zambia, where you will be met at the airport and transferred to Stanley Safari Lodge (two nights, full-board including beer, wine and soft drinks).
Stanley Safari Lodge
Perched on a high hill overlooking the Mosi-Oa-Tunya National Park, 3kms from Victoria Falls, Stanley’s Safari Lodge enjoys perhaps the best location of any lodge in Livingstone. It’s a small, intimate lodge, with 10 private cottages decorated in traditional African style. The rooms are open-sided so as to make the most of the marvellous views of the Zambezi Valley, and to allow in the sights and sounds of the surrounding bush. The interiors are furnished in lavish colonial style but with all the modern conveniences and comforts you’d expect from a lodge of this category.A guided tour of the Victoria Falls is included in your stay at Stanley Safari Lodge, as is an evening cruise on the Zambezi.
Day 3-6: Livingstone to Caprivi – Chobe Water Villas
Depart Livingstone this morning for Namibia’s Caprivi Strip. The 2-3 hour journey will take you across two borders, first into Botswana via Kasane (1½ hour private driven transfer), and then on to Namibia via the Chobe River (15 minute boat transfer).
In Caprivi, you stay at the luxurious Chobe Water Villas (four nights; full-board basis, including beer, wine and soft drinks).
Chobe Water Villas
Chobe Water Villas is an exclusive safari lodge situated in the far eastern tip of Namibia’s famous Caprivi Strip, just across the border from Botswana and Chobe National Park. This particular location has the advantage of offering easy access to both the core areas of Chobe National Park on the Botswanan side of the border and the numerous private conservancies on the Namibian side, which include Kasika and Impalila. For those who value exclusivity above all else, Chobe Water Villas offers a total escape from the crowds.Chobe Water Villas accommodates only a limited number of guests in its 16 raised water villas. The villas are situated right on the edge of a lagoon, from where they enjoy a direct view of Sedudu Island and, beyond it, Chobe National Park. They feature large open terraces and en-suite bathrooms with double vanities and a separate bath and shower.
Morning and afternoon safari activities are included during your stay at Chobe Water Villas. A typical day might start with a 4-5 hour game drive on Sedudu Island or into the core areas of Chobe National Park, followed by a sunset river cruise on the Chobe River.
Full-day safaris, mokoro (canoe) excursions, guided village visits, fishing and specialist photography tours can also be arranged (some at additional cost).
Day 7: Departure from Kasane
After breakfast at the lodge, return to Kasane via the Chobe River. You will be transferred to Kasane Airport for your onward travel connections.
