Okavango & Beyond

Days 1-2 Victoria Falls, Zimbabwe to Chobe NP, Botswana  
Your adventure begins with a welcome meeting at 6pm. You can arrive at any time as there are no activities planned today. On day 2 visit the Victoria Falls Wildlife Trust, one of The Intrepid Foundation projects to learn about the rescue and rehabilitation of wildlife, human-wildlife conflict and their role in anti-poaching. There may also be a chance to meet the rescued wildlife currently in their care. Continue to Chobe National Park and embark on a scenic sunset cruise.    

Day 3 Chobe NP to Maun    
There’s time for an optional game drive for those who would like to further explore this beautiful park.
