Delta Dreams, Chobe Giants & Victoria Falls
April 30- May 8, 2028
Total Price: $8650 p/p
From the secret, winding waterways of the Okavango Delta to the massive elephant herds of Chobe, this 9-day journey is the ultimate Southern Africa immersion. We aren’t just taking you on a safari; we’re taking you deep into the heart of the wilderness—through private conservancies, across legendary rivers, and straight to the edge of one of the Seven Natural Wonders of the World. You’ll stand in awe of the “Smoke that Thunders” in Victoria Falls, navigate the Delta in a traditional mokoro, and get lost (in the best way) in the magic of the African bush.
In the Khwai Community Area, your days start with the sounds of the wild and end with sundowners overlooking the lagoon. You’ll trade the land for the water in Chobe, where a private boat cruise brings you eye-to-eye with hippos and elephants at golden hour. Then, we head to Zimbabwe for the grand finale: a guided trek through the rainforests of Victoria Falls and a night of rhythm and fire at a traditional Boma drum show.
This trip is for you if you:
- Want an authentic, deep-nature experience without sacrificing a plush bed and a cold drink.
- Love wildlife, photography, sunset boat rides, and human stories.
- Prefer intimate, tented camps over massive, crowded tourist hotels.
- Want the tricky logistics (like light aircraft bush flights!) handled so you can just be present.
Are excited by places that feel vast, untouched, and completely alive.
If the wild heart of Africa has been calling your name—but you’ve been waiting for a curated, seamless way to experience it—this is it. We’d love to have you travel with us.
Your package includes 9 days and 8 nights in Botswana and Zimbabwe with a Legit Trips host and professional local safari guides throughout. For complete inclusions, see “What’s included” below.
You’ll fly into Maun, Botswana (MUB) and out of Victoria Falls, Zimbabwe (VFA). (This trip includes light aircraft “bush flights” between camps to save on massive drive times and give you incredible aerial views of the Delta!)

Day 2
OKAVANGO DELTA
Today is all about the “abundance of game” that Khwai is famous for. We’ll head out in open 4×4 vehicles to track leopards, lions, and wild dogs. In the afternoon, swap the engine for a paddle as we glide through the lily-covered channels in a traditional Mokoro (dugout canoe). It’s the ultimate way to see the delta from a hippo’s eye view.

We’re deep in the bush now. Spend the day exploring the Khwai Conservancy, a lush bridge between the Moremi Game Reserve and Chobe. Whether it’s spotting rare birds or watching elephants cross the river at sunset, today is about slowing down to the rhythm of the wild. We’ll wrap up the day with a signature sundowner in the middle of the bush.
