About this trip

This is a long overland journey through Botswana, Zimbabwe and South Africa, covering eight national parks in 17 days. Expect a lot of wildlife time, a lot of driving, and a group that ends up feeling more like a crew than a tour bus of strangers.

You track rhinos at sunset, search out game in Kruger, and spend time on the calm waterways of the Okavango Delta, alongside a stop to learn about rhino conservation work in Zimbabwe.

You travel in a purpose-built overland truck without air conditioning but with sliding windows for a breeze and clear views. It's camping throughout, including some genuinely remote bush sites with no facilities, and you pitch your own tent each night.

  • Track rhinos at sunset in Botswana
