Water is the theme to this journey, from Victoria Falls and the Zambezi River, to Botswana’s Selinda Reserve and Okavango Delta, through to where the Atlantic Ocean meets the Indian Ocean in at the southern tip of Africa at Cape Town. You can expect hippeaux in all locations, other than Cape Town; which is hip and has plenty of water, but where you are more likely to see whales.
