This 4 night safari to Victoria Falls, Zimbabwe and the Chobe of northern Botswana is a great safari for first timers to Africa. It affords a visit to the spectacle of Victoria Falls and combines this with a 2 night safari to the Chobe River which is renowned for very good elephant sightings as well as herds of buffalo and other wildlife. We have structured the tour to start and end in Johannesburg, but of course we can easily lengthen or shorten it or include other exciting destinations in the immediate region such as the Okavango Delta or Hwange Game Reserve.
