| Day | Destination | Description |
| Days 1-2 | Livingstone/Chobe National Park | The adventure begins in Livingstone, gateway to the thunderous waters of Victoria Falls. For those who arrive early, there are plenty of adrenaline fuelled opportunities to make the most of the falls. Go white water rafting, bungee jumping or even gorge swinging. Cross into Botswana by ferry and drive to Chobe National Park, home to large populations of elephants, lions and birds, including the famous African fish-eagle. Take an afternoon cruise to see the eagles in action as they swoop down from the tree tops to snatch fish out of the river. |
| Days 3-5 | Kruger National Park | Travel through the vast grasslands of Botswana to South Africa, stopping off to visit Martins Drift, Francistown, Nata on the way. Spend two nights within the Greater Kruger, in search of Africa's 'big five': lions, elephants, buffaloes, leopards and rhinos. The Greater Kruger offers opportunities to see these magnificent creatures in their natural environment are endless. For those who just can't get enough wildlife there is an optional night drive through the park to spot some nocturnal beasts. |
| Day 6 | Johannesburg | Leaving the Kruger National Park behind we head to Blyde River for some awesome views over the world's third largest canyon. Arrive in Johannesburg, South Africa's commercial capital, in time to head out on the town, or maybe grab a bite to eat and relive tall tales of Africa's magnificent wildlife. |
