Exceptional sailing and scuba diving, climbing Mount Kilimanjaro, amazing Victoria Falls, Gorilla trekking in Uganda and Rwanda, Capetown and the Winelands …..Africa will surprise you with its wealth of experiences and although you may come for its beasts, you will stay for its beauty.

 

 

 

Why Botswana

Botswana is considered by many to be the benchmark when it comes to sustainable ecotourism practice in Africa. Fly from camp to camp to take in the delta’s diverse eco systems – wet and marshy delta that then empties into a desert full of wildlife. Explore the waterways with your expert rangers via slow motorboat or being poled in a traditional mokoro (canoe) spotting hippos, crocodiles and a myriad of birds.
