More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
You step off the transfer vehicle into a humid, rumbling air—Victoria Falls’ spray hangs on the wind like a living curtain; downstream the Zambezi dares you to come closer. Over the next eight days the landscape changes from thunderous basalt escarpments to the low, braided waterways of the Okavango Delta, and into the riverine galleries of Chobe where elephant herds march to the water.

Wildlife
History
Victoria Falls was named by explorer David Livingstone in 1855; the falls mark a geological fault where the Zambezi slices through basalt, forming the iconic curtain of water.
Conservation
Botswana’s protected-area management and community-based tourism help sustain large elephant populations, and the Okavango Delta’s UNESCO status highlights the importance of managing water and tourism to protect fragile wetland habitats.
