20 day Northern Quest. Cape Town to Victoria Falls
|
|
|
What to expect from this 20 day Cape Town to Victoria Falls Tour:
Your journey begins at Africa's southern gateway. Gaze at the spectacle that greeted the early explorers, as Table Mountain appears to rise from the sea. A stunning setting for a very special city.
Explore the ghostly deserts of Namibia, nothing but endless horizons and vast expanses of night stars. Go where giant sand dunes merge with the Atlantic Ocean. Go on safari in Etosha, 'the place of dry water', where the fireside tales will be of Lion, Rhino, Elephant and much more.
Navigate the winding streams and isolated lagoons of the Okavango Delta. Sit back and relax as your guide gently poles your 'mokoro' through these clear waters. Get up close and personal with some of the most exciting creatures on earth. Join the adrenaline junkies at Victoria Falls.
Go insane for a day and jump off bridges or boogie board head-first down the immense rapid runs of the Zambezi. Sit tight as you witness the Falls from a micro-light aircraft or take it easy on an upper Zambezi river cruise and watch the African bush go gently on by.
