From the Field: Africa Adventure Safari
Africa speaks to me
Through the roar of lions basking at noon
And the snigger of hyenas in the night
Through the rumble of elephants in tune
And the stir of gorillas out of sight
Africa speaks to me
By poet Wayne Visser

Southern Africa - Namibia & Botswana Safari: Dunes, Deltas, & Wildlife
From desert dunes to wilderness wetlands, experience the best of Southern Africa
Your adventure begins on Namibia’s vast sand dune deserts in Namib Rand Nature Reserve. Explore on foot and by nature drive, taking in the Park's incredible views, desert animals, flora and fauna. Soar above the desert in a hot air balloon and kayak alongside seals, penguins and seabirds in Walvis Bay.
Shake the sand off as you fly east to Botswana to discover the exact opposite in scenery and habitat in the wetland paradise of the Okavango Delta. Travel by foot and dugout canoe with expert guides, eager to share this fascinating environment – from its mighty elephants to tiniest reed frog.
Fly north over pristine landscape to open plains scattered with palms and wooded savannas, spotting herds of buffalo, zebra and giraffe and, of course, the predators that stalk them. Wrap up your Africa sojourn with two nights in a luxurious “tree house” lodge perched over the banks of the Zambezi, just footsteps from the mighty Victory Falls.
