Day 1:

As your flight prepares to land, be on the lookout for the breathtaking view of ‘Mosi oa Tunya’ - The Smoke that Thunders - this is what many call the mist that rises up from the thundering waters of the Victoria Falls, one of the seven natural wonders of the world. Land in Livingstone and welcome the warm, humid African air. Our staff will be on hand to meet you at the airport. Once you’ve settled into your accommodation you will have an afternoon orientation meeting.

Day 2-3:

Livingstone Volunteer Projects - You will spend the next two days participating in the Livingstone community volunteer projects, which are facilitated by our sister organisation, African Impact. During our stay we will have the chance to interact with children and other community members while assisting in local orphanages, schools, building/refurbishment projects and local sports development initiatives.

Day 4-5:

Chobe National Park, Botswana - Cross over the border a short drive from Livingstone into Botswana, and you will find Chobe National Park, one of Africa’s greatest elephant sanctuaries.

Days 7-10:

Maun/Okavango Delta - The Okavango Delta is the largest freshwater wetland in Africa; in Botswana's arid and unforgiving bush, it's an oasis where you'll find one of the greatest concentrations of wildlife in Africa. Today we travel to Maun, gateway to the world famous Okavango Delta. We will enjoy a two night Okavango Delta Safari. Boarding dugout canoes we make our way deep into the delta on the lookout for wildlife while navigating the many channels and sand bars of this wilderness water wonderland. At night we will camp on one of the many islands, sleeping under the stars.
