Day 1
Having arrived at Victoria Falls Airport, you will be flown to Hwange NP and can enjoy a scenic 30-minute flight. Your Hide Safari Camp guide will transfer you on a short game drive to the camp. The Hide Safari Camp enjoys a spectacular location on the Kennedy Vlei line on which its own waterhole and underground viewing hide are positioned. In the drier months, large herds of elephant, buffalo, giraffe and antelope congregate here to drink. Hwange is 14,500 sq. km and has some of the highest diversity of wildlife for any park in Africa. This park has over 40,000 elephant and strong populations of predators such as lion, leopard, hyena, some cheetah and African wild dog, as well as the rare sable and roan antelope. During the 3 days at The Hide, you will enjoy excellent guided game drives and the opportunity of guided walking safaris to fully immerse yourself in the wonder of the African savannah and its ecosystems. The Hide also offers night drives on its private concession. Luxury tented camp located inside Hwange NP (Zimbabwe) All meals included All drinks (Premium wines & liquors might be excluded)
Day 4
Having flown from Hwange NP to Victoria Falls Airport, you will be driven on a short trip to Chundukwa River Lodge on the Zambian side of Victoria Falls. This intimate owner-run retreat has only 6 luxury chalets on stilts, all river-facing onto the mighty Zambezi River, and is 25km upstream of Victoria Falls. Your stay includes a daily activity from a choice of sunrise and sunset boat cruises, a Victoria Falls day trip, a horse ride (for all levels), a Zambezi lunchtime floating picnic, bush walks and mountain bike rides. Bucket-list experiences popular in Victoria Falls are a helicopter "Flight of Angels", white-water rafting, swimming in the Devil's Pool on Livingstone Island, tracking rhino in nearby Mosi-oa-Tunya National Park, or visiting the local village to engage in local culture. Conservation and community are at the core of Chundukwa's values. Menus are guided by what is available in the garden and local community to serve a farm-to-fork philosophy of wholesome food.

Day 6
On day 6 of your safari, you will be driven across the new Kazungula Bridge into Botswana. Your Muchenje Safari Lodge guide will transfer you on a 45-minute game drive into camp. Muchenje is superbly located in the more exclusive western part of Chobe NP, with panoramic views over the Chobe floodplain and river below it. Guided game drives, boat cruises, mokoro rides (in season), guided walks, and night drives are all on offer from this long-established owner-run luxury lodge. Enjoy a full-day excursion into the park, along with a boat trip on the Chobe River. Their small, private boat will spend 2.5 hours exploring the river. The guides know where the elephants prefer to congregate, drink, and cross to Sedudu Island. On the way there, they will explore the banks, trees, and pools to show the guests the other wonderful wildlife that frequents the Chobe River. Guests enjoy a delicious picnic whilst witnessing the elephants gathering on the banks.

5.0/5From the outset we had an outstanding service from Claire. She tailored a trip to meet our needs, and made sure it was relatively close to our budget. We had a seamless transfer to the Okavango Delta, starting with a thorough briefing by our driver, and plenty of drinks for the journey. Our drive from Maun to Amber River Lodge in the delta was an adventure in itself, stopping to see the flora and fauna. The lodge absolutely blew us away, we had an amazing time. We had a very knowledgeable guide, Rati, we saw so many wild animals, birds, and the landscape is like paradise. We definitely had luxury accommodation, delicious food, wonderful activities. It was heart wrenching to leave. We had another seamless transfer to the Chobe River, we stayed at Jackalberry. Another stunning lodge. Great pool areas in both to unwind after safari. So close to the national park. We saw elephants, hippos, crocodiles in the water. Also a wide range of land animals and birds. There were beautiful sunsets and sunrises at both sites. We always arrange our own trips but just this once it was nice to have it arranged from start to finish. Claire went the extra mile to make this a memory for a lifetime.

Bec and his team, listened to all of our interests and requirements and put together the best African safari we have ever completed. The entire trip was flawless from start to finish. Bec tailored the trip to exactly what we wanted, many things were managed and planned that we were unaware of how complex they would be until we under took the trip. The process of arranging land transfers across different country borders, was seamless and something that would have been difficult to arrange. As it happened the transportation was safe and perfectly managed with the local knowledge of the team. Bec also checked in on us during our trip. The best, and only decision, we needed to make for the best safari we have ever had, was to select Off2Africa to organise the entire trip.

We had a wonderful 3 countries trip to Zambia, Zimbabwe and Botswana. It leaves us with marvelous memories. We were stunned by the good organization of our tour operator, Robyn. The communication was excellent. Transfers were smooth, efficient and drivers always on times at the several meeting points. Lodges were very good and we saw plenty of game despite travelling in low season. We highly recommend Off2Africa and would definitely travel with them again. Of course, these trips are never cheap but it was good value for money considering the upper level lodges and the many transfers, including a return flight to Hwange National Parks as well as the many long game drives with professional guides.

We chose Off2Africa for our Botswanan adventure after careful consideration and was impressed with the care and attention Sian Edwards and Emma paid to not only the arrangements but keeping us informed of any changes due to the weather conditions. We felt looked after from the moment we arrived at Maun airport until the time we left. We visited 3 lodges - preferring to stay 3 nights at both Camp Moremi and Savuti - in the hope of seeing 'big cats' and we were not disappointed. We watched a pride of lions enjoying their kill; lion cubs playing with each other; cheetahs chasing a possible kill and a leopard quietly walking along the track ahead of us. It was amazing how close we came to the lions and a family of hyenas as they walked quietly around the safari truck! The lodges were very similar in terms of luxury, comfort and service but also very different in that Camp Okavango was primarily boat and walking safaris which gave us a different perspective from the motorised safaris- we stood only 100 metres from 2 male lions as they sat on a raised area looking for prey. All the staff we met on the trip were friendly, helpful and we especially loved the warm welcomes we received at each camp. Our guides were first rate. We wouldn't hesitate to travel to Botswana again and would certainly contact Off2Africa for any future safari trips.
