Desert, Delta & River to Vic Falls

If you believe a proper safari can’t be rushed, this is your itinerary. Twelve days gives you the time to truly settle into Botswana’s legendary wilderness, moving thoughtfully between Victoria Falls, Chobe National Park, and the Okavango Delta. The pace is set for genuine immersion, allowing the rhythms of the bush to reveal themselves. The journey begins with the thunder of Victoria Falls before you cross into Botswana for the elephant-dense riverfronts of Chobe. The heart of the safari is a deep dive into the Okavango Delta, staying at two distinct camps. You’ll experience a classic ‘wet’ camp, exploring the reed-lined channels by mokoro, and a ‘dry’ camp on savannah plains known for incredible predator viewing. By combining game drives, guided walks, and water excursions, you get a complete picture of this UNESCO World Heritage Site in a way a shorter trip simply can't offer.

Family Legacy Safari

This ten-day journey is built for families bringing multiple generations together in Africa. We have paced it deliberately so that grandparents and grandchildren can travel at a comfortable rhythm, balancing active days on safari with quiet afternoons to rest and talk. The journey starts at Victoria Falls, continues into the elephant country of Chobe National Park in Botswana, and ends in the quiet channels of the Okavango Delta. You will stay in small, welcoming lodges, including a private camp in a quieter, less-visited sector of Chobe. This keeps you away from the midday crowds and the rush. Because we live here and coordinate every step ourselves, you do not have to worry about the logistics of moving a family across borders. Your Verdanti host handles every transfer and detail in person. This is about giving your family the space to simply be together, sharing stories around the fire and watching the sun go down over the river.

The Luxury Triangle: Falls, Hwange & Delta

This twelve day journey is designed for those who want to see Southern Africa's most remarkable landscapes without feeling rushed or uncomfortable. We have combined the sheer scale of Victoria Falls with two of our favorite wildlife regions: Hwange National Park in Zimbabwe and the Okavango Delta in Botswana. It is a classic route, but we plan it to keep you away from the crowds. You will start in Victoria Falls, staying at the quiet Victoria Falls Safari Club. It is set back from the main town, overlooking a busy woodland waterhole where elephants often come to drink. While you are here, we will take you to see the falls with a private guide and arrange an evening on the historic steam train that travels through the park. Next, a short light aircraft flight brings you into Hwange National Park to stay at Somalisa Camp. Somalisa is famous for its elephant pool right in front of the main deck, where you can sit with a tea or a gin and tonic and watch breeding herds drink just feet away from you. The final stop is a flight into the Okavango Delta to stay at Atzaró Okavango Camp. This is a spectacular, water-rich concession where you can glide through the quiet channels by mokoro, a traditional dugout canoe, or head out on classic game drives to find lions and leopards. Because we design and coordinate this trip personally, every flight, transfer, and local guide is managed by us. We are on the ground in the region and reachable throughout your travel, ensuring your journey is entirely comfortable and completely stress free.

Victoria Falls & Chobe Ultimate Safari

This five-day trip brings together two of Southern Africa's most remarkable places, Victoria Falls and Chobe National Park, without the rushed feeling of a typical tour. We give both destinations the time they actually need so you can slow down and take them in. You will stand at the edge of the spray with a private guide, enjoy a dinner of local flavors, and then spend two full days among Chobe's famous elephant herds, exploring both by open safari vehicle and by boat on the river. Because we are based right here in Victoria Falls, we handle every transfer and border crossing personally. Our team is with you at every step to make the transition between Zimbabwe and Botswana completely straightforward, with no logistics or paperwork for you to worry about. It is designed to feel like one continuous, well-planned journey rather than two separate trips.

The Ultimate Zimbabwe Safari: Falls, Hwange & Mana Pools

This nine-day safari is how we show you the absolute best of Zimbabwe, connecting three completely different wilderness areas. You start at Victoria Falls, watching the Zambezi plunge into the gorge, before flying south to the deep teak forests and open plains of Hwange National Park. You finish on the floodplains of Mana Pools, a wild stretch of the Zambezi River famous for walking safaris. Because we live and work in Victoria Falls, we are on the ground with you. We are not a faceless booking site half a world away. We personally coordinate every detail of your trip, from your arrival to the light aircraft flights that connect these remote camps. If a flight is delayed or a plan needs to change, we handle it directly so you can focus on the wildlife. We have hand-picked these camps because they are small, personal, and run by people we know. They are home to some of the finest guides in Africa. These are professionals who can read the morning tracks in the sand, explain the complex life of the bush, and make you feel entirely safe and welcome from your very first day.

Got Questions?

Frequently asked

Most international travelers require a visa. The most convenient option is the KAZA Univisa ($50 USD), which is available on arrival at major border posts and airports. It allows you to travel freely between Zimbabwe and Zambia for up to 30 days and includes day trips to Botswana (via Kasane).

Yes, Victoria Falls is located in a malaria risk zone, especially during the warm, wet summer months (November to April). We strongly advise consulting your medical doctor or a local travel clinic before departure regarding appropriate malaria prophylactics, and carrying insect repellent containing DEET.

In Zimbabwe, the US Dollar (USD) is widely accepted and preferred for tourism activities, national park entry fees, restaurants, and souvenirs. Credit cards (Visa and Mastercard) are commonly accepted at hotels and established restaurants, but carrying smaller cash denominations ($1, $5, $10, $20) is highly recommended.

The best time depends on your travel goals. For the most powerful spray and thunderous flow, visit from March to May (water levels are highest). For white-water rafting, walking safaris, and swimming in Devil's Pool, the low-water dry season (August to December) is ideal. Mid-year (June to August) offers a perfect balance of clear days and peak wildlife viewing.

Absolutely. Victoria Falls is a dedicated, highly secure hub with an exceptionally low crime rate. The local community is welcoming and tourist-friendly. We also provide our guests with 24/7 local support and private airport/activity road transfers for complete peace of mind.
