12-Nights Botswana and Zimbabwe Family Adventure

Goway Travel

This 13-day family safari brings together the best of Botswana and Zimbabwe, creating a unique itinerary for animal lovers of all ages. It even includes three nights at Victoria Falls, the ‘Smoke that thunders.’

Transfer to Moremi Game Reserve, which is nourished by the Khwai River in Botswana. You’re likely to encounter a wide array of animals including elephants, cheetahs, buffalo, zebra, lions, leopards, giraffes, hippos, and many more. The landscape completely changes at night as the nocturnal beasts come out to hunt. Daytime and nighttime game drives let you see the contrasts in full. You will even have the chance to explore on foot for a closer look.

Fly on to the Linyanti Concession, which features the world’s highest density elephant population. This is also a great area for spotting lions, leopards and cheetahs, as well as giraffes, impala, and buffalo. Guests can choose to extend their afternoon game drives into the night if they wish – particularly good for spotting big cats on the hunt! As at Khwai, guided walks can take you in for a deeper understanding of the area.

Fly on to Livingstone in Zambia, on the edge of Victoria Falls. Visit the Livingstone museum to learn about the town’s namesake, then explore the Zambian side of Victoria Falls, the world’s largest single sheet of falling water. Listen to the mighty Zambezi crash over the threshold to the rocks below, then rush through a series of canyons, each of which is a former location of the falls cut by years of erosion.

Cross to the Zimbabwean side of the falls, and board your flight to Hwange National Park. This is Zimbabwe’s biggest wildlife reserve and home to approximately 40,000 elephants. Again, you’ll enjoy game drives day and night with expert guides.

Featured Destinations

Victoria Falls Victoria Falls The town of Victoria Falls is a pleasant place, created for visitors. There are hiking routes and rental bicycles. There are also trinket shops, selling everything from cheap T-shirts to antique African musical instruments. Carvings of masks and animals are a tradition around the area (as is the bargaining required to purchase them for a reasonable price). The Victoria Falls Hotel, a short walk from the falls, still operates in full colonial splendor and should be seen even by those not staying there. Visit Crocodile Ranch and Craft Village - a fascinating glimpse into Zimbabwean culture. Visit Livingstone, just across the border in Zambia— more than just a tourist town and more character than Victoria Falls. Another appealing side trip is to Chobe National Park, in neighboring Botswana. Chobe is one of the finest game parks in the world.	Destination Guide
Hwange Hwange The park at Hwange covers an area of 5,656 miles². Hwange specialties include thousands of elephants, over 100 different types of animals including Africa’s Big Five and 400 species of birds, strategically placed viewing hides, luxury safari lodges with their own 'off the beaten track' traversing areas, and night drives from the private lodges. These sub-tropical thorn and sand flats on the edge of the Kalahari Desert, were once home to nomadic San (bushmen) who lived off the land and feasted on herds of migrating game. It is a place of great contrasts between wet and dry season, with extremes reminding of the life-giving properties of water.	Destination Guide
Livingstone Livingstone Livingstone is less than 10 miles from beautiful Victoria Falls and is a delightful old colonial town named after the explorer David Livingstone. As Zambian tourism increases, more people are staying in Livingstone and new enterprises seem to be springing up. There are also many lovely lodges on the banks of the Zambezi.	Destination Guide
Linyanti Linyanti Linyanti is a private Wildlife Reserve located on the southern banks of the Linyanti River that borders Namibia and Botswana, South Africa. Linyanti is populated with wild animals both gentle and fierce where species of all kinds gather to drink from the steadily flowing ravines, lagoons, and swamps. Bird life is abundant and bird watching is a must-do when settling in beautiful and adventurous Linyanti.
