Taste of Eastern and Southern Africa
Taste of Eastern and Southern Africa
South Africa, Namibia, Botswana, Zimbabwe: Go on safari in your own 4wd, one of Africa’s most iconic journeys.
An incredible journey through Southern Africa that has it all, from epic wildlife experiences in renown national parks to the evening cacophony of the roar of lions, grunting of hippos and laughing of hyenas. We experience the world’s oldest desert and visit towering mountains of sand that glow red at sunrise, we overnight at luxury small game lodges and gaze in wonder at the mightiest falls of them all, Victoria Falls. The drive will expose us to cultures that defy belief, so removed from our own. If remote empty tracks, endless star laden skies, incredible wildlife experiences, unique African cultures and diverse stunning landscapes are your thing, then this epic 16-day 4WD adventure is for you.
Go on safari in your own 4×4, drive the Cederbergs and the utterly empty, yet stunningly scenic, desert and more! Africa boasts unbelievable scenery and some of the worlds most incredible wildlife.
