Botswana: Wildlife Expedition — New!
On this wildlife adventure, begin your journey at the mighty Victoria Falls, one of the Seven Natural Wonders of the World, before entering Botswana’s northern frontier and the elephant-rich Linyanti Reserve bordering Chobe National Park. Then journey into the 6,000-square mile maze of lagoons, channels and islands that comprise Botswana’s Okavango Delta, Africa’s “last wilderness,” where you can search for stalking lions, sly leopards, herds of elephants, gangly giraffes and an incredible variety of birdlife from your tented camps.
