Great Wilderness Journey 2023
Starts in Livingstone – ends in Maun
Explore Botswana’s contrasting landscapes and fascinating wildlife
Take the time to explore Botswana’s contrasts in scenic areas on a game-viewing adventure reminiscent of the days of the great African explorers.
On this great journey, you’ll encounter the world-famous Victoria Falls on the Zambian side of the Zambezi River and explore Botswana’s scenic northern areas: from the blue-green wetlands of the Okavango Delta to the Linyanti and Chobe River systems renowned for their predators and large concentrations of game.
Highlights:
Exclusive access to the wilderness areas of the Okavango Delta, Linyanti and Victoria Falls.
Deluxe camping in two prime areas ensures holistic guiding and detailed insights into habitats and wildlife in the area.
Exceptionally diverse range of activities and transfers between locations: walks, day and night wildlife viewing – both water- and land-based.
As a set-departure guided journey, the Great Wilderness Journey’s fully inclusive rates comprise the expertise of one knowledgeable and professional guide who leads you from beginning to end, combined with tailor-made services like logistics, sightseeing and accommodation in our camps.
More than this, there is your exclusive access to more than 3 million hectares (7 million acres) of Africa’s best wildlife areas. This equates to 3 000 hectares (8 000 acres) of private land per guest, creating a unique sense of seclusion, comfort, privacy and space. In turn, your presence helps us in the conservation of these areas.
