Experience the wilderness and wildlife of Africa on a trip designed for nature lovers and outdoor enthusiasts - a photographers dream!

A veritable feast of nature, dramatic landscapes and a huge variety of wildlife. Best of all is viewing game in the wild. No fences! You are in their world, watching the animals at close range. An experience which leads to some awesome moments, such as waiting as a pride of lions and cubs or a herd of elephant cross the road right in front of your truck, seeing the elusive leopard silhouetted against the blue african sky or watching a lion at the chase. If Africa is your dream, then don't miss out.

Trip Outline

Namibia- the amazing landscapes and vegetation of the oldest desert on Earth, the Namib–Naukuft; at Sossusvlei an orange sea of sand is sculpted by the wind into the highest dunes in the world and in Etosha National Park fantastic water-holes allow you the experience of observing an abundance of wildlife at very close quarters.

The Okavango Delta, Botswana - The Jewel of the Kalahari , the Okavango Delta is the world's largest inland delta.
