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.
Lodge and restaurant on a river. Upstream from the Victoria Falls, on the banks of the powerful Zambezi River, you find paradise on earth. Royal Chundu, with its two magnificent lodges in the middle of the bush far from the madding crowd, is the place to enjoy peace and quiet in what remains as an untamed corner of the earth. The River Lodge is on the riverbank while the Island Lodge is located on an island, both offering spacious suites with a colonial décor reminiscent of the splendour of the times of the early explorers. Returning from their excursions, guests can sample divine spa treatments with natural African ingredients or enjoy Zambian cuisine, watching stars light up the sky over the river.

Lodge and restaurant in a private game reserve. Vast and unspoiled, the private Selinda Reserve links the Okavango Delta to the Linyanti and Savute river systems, embodying Africa’s true spirit and, more specifically, that of Botswana itself. Located within this remote wilderness are Great Plains Conservation’s Selinda Camp and Zarafa Camp. Designed in an ecologically friendly manner, Zarafa Camp consists of large, sumptuously appointed tented suites, recreating the atmosphere of the very first safaris in their traditional style. Selinda Camp brilliantly synthesises the meeting of cultures thanks to its luxurious suites. In this exciting region, you will be able to appreciate the countless wonders of Botswana’s wildlife; it’s a veritable breeding ground for rare animals where nature has so much to offer. You’ll have the great privilege of observing the famous lions featured in Birth of a Pride, the film directed by Derek and Beverley Joubert for National Geographic, as well as endangered African wild dogs, hippos bathing in the lagoons, and large herds of elephants grazing peacefully in the surrounding area. It is a magical show enriched by the most beautiful sunsets in the world.
