Nine nights from Johannesburg into the wilderness and the water — the continent we know best, travelled the way we travel it ourselves.
Two early mornings, two late nights, and a great deal of space in between. Light aircraft rather than long roads, owner-run camps rather than large lodges.

THE ITINERARY
DAY BY DAY.
DAY 1
Johannesburg
Private arrival at OR Tambo and a night in the city: a design hotel in Rosebank, dinner with a chef we have worked with for years, and an early night before the bush.
DAY 2
Into the conservancy
Light aircraft north to a Big Five conservancy. Afternoon game drive, sundowners on a ridge, dinner under the fig tree.
DAY 3
Tracking
A full day with your guide and tracker — rhino on foot where conditions allow, then the waterholes at dusk.
DAY 4
Conservation morning
Time with the anti-poaching and research team, then the afternoon at leisure. A private bush dinner to close.
DAY 5
Okavango
Charter west into the delta. A water camp reached by boat, and a first mokoro glide through the channels at golden hour.
DAY 6
Water safari
Mornings by mokoro, afternoons by motorboat, elephants crossing in front of you. Stars with no light for a hundred kilometres.
DAY 7
Island day
A walking safari on a palm island with a guide born in the delta, and a long lunch on the sand.
DAY 8
Victoria Falls
North to the falls. A guided rainforest walk, then sunset on the Zambezi with the spray behind you.
DAY 9
The last morning
A helicopter loop over the gorge, or nothing at all. Farewell dinner on the river deck.
DAY 10
Home
Livingstone to Johannesburg, with lounge access and onward connections handled.
ACCOMMODATION
WHERE YOU STAY.
3 NIGHTS
Okavango water camp
Raised tented rooms over a permanent channel, reached only by boat or air. Solar, silence, and a mokoro at your steps.

A river-facing suite ten minutes from the falls, with a deck built for the last hour of light.
