Where you could stay
Days 4–7
Two days on safari at Matetsi Private Game Reserve
Stay on a riverside safari retreat within easy access to the thrills and adventure of Victoria Falls. Located on one of the largest wildlife concessions in the area and boasting extensive Zambezi river frontage, Matetsi covers a diverse range of habitats that are home to an extensive number of species. Zebras, giraffes and buffalos, as well as the enormous herds of elephants that Matetsi is justly renowned for, can be found on the reserve. African Wild dogs and hyena are spotted on a regular basis and large prides of lion have made the reserve their home. Cheetah, and leopard, as well as the elegant sable and roan antelope are also among the species seen at Matetsi. Explore the concession on expertly guided game drives, horseback safaris and bush walks, or head out onto the water on canoeing excursions, fishing trips and sunset river cruises.
Private tour of Victoria Falls
No visit to Victoria Falls would be complete without a tour of the mighty falls themselves, otherwise known as Mosi-oa-Tunya, meaning the smoke that thunders. A knowledgeable guide will take you on an unforgettable experience through the Victoria Falls rainforest, a journey that not only affords a view of one of the Seven Natural Wonders of the World but provides a great deal of interesting facts about the geology, wildlife and history of Africa’s most famous landmark.
Days 7–10
Three days on safari in Linyanti
Cross the border into northern Botswana for three nights within the private Linyanti Reserve, a place shared among a select crowd of luxury lodges, filled with huge buffalo herds and one of the best places in Africa to spot predators such as lions, leopards, cheetahs and wild dogs. The private reserves of the area help to protect and conserve the wildlife ‘corridor’ between the Okavango and the Linyanti river systems. It’s also possible to do game drives at day and at night, as well as walking safaris, boating, fishing and sleepouts in the reserve’s various hides.

Where you could stay
Jacada planned the most memorable trip our family has taken. In Botswana, the camps were each unique and special. They planned a variety of terrains so we could have different experiences with each stop. The service, hospitality, and food was outstanding. The guides were beyond amazing at finding animals. Wouldn't have changed anything! Every future trip will be compared to…
