We are excited to announce our 3-in-1 southern africaN travel experience

August 28th - September 2nd 2023

Three countries: Zambia, Zimbabwe & BOTSWANA. One Unforgettable Experience.

Registration closedfor 2023

This is a twist on your quintessential African adventure complete with an eco-tour of Botswana’s Chobe Game Lodge led by the Chobe Angels (Africa’s first all-women safari guide team) and a safari in Zambia’s Mosi-oa-Tunya National Park. You can also expect a sighting of one of the seven world wonders, Victoria Falls, locally called Mosi-oa-Tunya ‘Smoke that Thunders’ from both the Zambia and Zimbabwe perspectives. And not to worry, there’s no backpacking involved, this trip will give luxury from start to finish, that is…luxury-at-prices-we-can-afford. You’re welcome 😉.

ABOUT OUR DESTINATIONS

With this trip, we are making off-the-beaten-path accessible. We will visit three countries within the Kaza conservation region: Zambia, Zimbabwe, and Botswana. In a place near Kazungula, four countries meet where the Zambezi and Chobe Rivers converge to form one border connected by the Kazungula Bridge Project. On our trip, we will visit three of these four countries. 

Our base will be in Livingstone, Zambia, what many consider to be the most luxurious of the cities within the Kaza region. We will organize day trips to Victoria Falls, Zimbabwe (15-minute drive) and Kasane, Botswana (90-minute drive) over our week in Zambia.
