Zambia and Botswana

Introduction to the Zambia and Botswana expedition

The Kalahari Desert covers much of Botswana, home to the nomadic Bushmen famed for their powers of survival in a harsh and arid environment. To the north the Okavango River flows into the desert to form an inland delta, characterised by a myriad of channels and islands.  Frequently referred to as the jewel in the Kalahari’s crown, this vibrant and lush ecosystem makes a startling contrast to the surrounding plains.  All the major African game species gather here, drawn from the desert in search of a watering hole.

Spending time with bushmen to learn about their lifestyle and traditional Kalahari survival techniques, discovering the Okavango Delta famed for its fantastic wildlife, seeing some of the world’s most ancient cave paintings, trekking along the Zambezi River and between rural villages, going on game drives and safaris in the Chobe National Park and of course visiting the impressive Victoria Falls.
