DAY 2

After breakfast and check out, meet your local escort and walk to the terminal to check in for a flight to Kasane, Botswana.

As guests may only bring one piece of checked luggage per person, excess luggage (1 piece per person) will be shipped via courier to Cape Town where you will be re-united with it on Day 5. Make sure to pack accordingly and bring any medications and cruise documents with you.

Upon arriving in Kasane, proceed through Customs and Immigration and then another local representative will assist with your transfer to Chobe Chilwero. Your lodge is located on the Chobe River, not far from the entrance to Chobe National Park.

If time allows, enjoy lunch and then some free time to get acquainted with your surroundings.

A bit later in the day, gather in the main lodge for tea and snacks followed by a game drive in Chobe National Park. Safaris are conducted in 4x4 open side vehicles and led by qualified professional guides who will bring you close to hippos, buffalos, puku and other animals that gather on the banks of the Chobe River. Naturally, elephants, lion and leopard are also found in the area.

Return to your lodge thereafter for dinner and overnight.

DAY 3

After an early-morning wake-up call and coffee and tea in the lobby, you will embark on a morning game drive in 4x4 open-air safari vehicles.

Along with elephant, lion, leopard and buffalo, Chobe is also home to two antelope that aren’t encountered anywhere else in Botswana, the puku and the Chobe bushbuck. Declared a national park in 1967, Chobe was the first one established in Botswana and now covers more than 4,500 square miles of dry savannah, floodplains, and teak woodlands that are ideal animal habitats.

Returning from your morning safari, a full breakfast will be served after which you will have free time to do as you wish at the lodge.

Following lunch, you will embark on a cruise down the Chobe River – this is the ideal time to keep a look out for animals coming to the river for water.

Later dinner will be served at the lodge.

DAY 4

After enjoying one last optional game drive and breakfast, check-out from the lodge and transfer cross the border between Botswana and Zimbabwe by road en route to Victoria falls. (Visas will need to purchased here for Zimbabwe), The drive is approximately 1- 1.5 hours depending on border time.

On arrival at the Victoria Falls hotel, check in and enjoy lunch.

Later in the afternoon, transfer to the Zambezi River and embark on a sunset cruise (shared departure). Depending on the size of the group the boat may either be a covered single level sightseeing boat or a larger boat with multiple levels.

Your boat cruise is followed up with dinner back at the hotel.

DAY 5

After breakfast and check out, transfer to the Victoria Falls Rainforest where you will have a guided walk.

Located on the border between Zambia and Zimbabwe, Victoria Falls is the world’s largest curtain of falling water, based on the falls’ one-mile width and height of 360 feet. It’s an amazing spectacle to watch as the Zambezi River roars over the edge of a basalt gorge, forming what locals call Mosi-Oa-Tunya or “the smoke that thunders”. In November 1885, after seeing the falls for the first time, Scottish explorer and Doctor David Livingstone re-named them after Queen Victoria.

A path along the edge of the rainforest provides visitors with an unparalleled series of views of the falls but be prepared to get wet from the tremendous spray!

NOTE: the cobblestone walkways within the rainforest can be slippery if wet and some spots are at a gradient. Proper walking shoes that have a good grip should be worn, and guests should wear appropriate clothing to get wet. Due to the amount of walking and terrain, this program is not suited for guests who have walking difficulty or who utilize a wheelchair or scooter. Walking distance will be 2-4km (1.24 – 2.48 miles).

Your program here concludes with a transfer to the Victoria Falls Airport where you will take a flight to Cape Town.

In Cape Town you will be met and transferred to your hotel which is located at the Victoria And Alfred Waterfront where you will find a wide array of shopping and dining options. Lunch and dinner are on your own today.

PLEASE NOTE

*This is a malaria risk area. Make sure that the necessary medication has been taken. Guests should seek their physicians’ advice regarding malaria precautions and other recommended immunizations. You must begin taking malaria precautions prior to your departure date.

*The contents and order of the activities in this program are subject to change by the lodge management without prior notice, due to the prevailing weather conditions and movement of dangerous wildlife in the Chobe National Park.

*The roads in the game reserve are gravel. There are also inclines, and certain parts of the game drive can be bumpy. This program is not recommended for guests with back problems.

*Bring warm clothing, as the evenings and early mornings are chilly.

*This program is not fully guided. Local representatives will assist you with your transfers and you will have a guide at Victoria Falls, however, the game drive and Chobe River cruise at the lodge and is run solely and at the discretion by the lodge/hotel staff.

*The water levels at Victoria Falls are season dependent. ‘Low Water’ runs between August and January and is at its lowest between November and early December. This is the time when there is very little spray and visitors are able to fully appreciate the geological formation of Victoria Falls and the full length and breadth of them.

Expected Weather:

South Africa’s seasons are the reverse of those in the northern hemisphere. Midwinter is in June and midsummer at hottest temperatures in December and January. The climate varies from region to region but is generally mild throughout the year. The average daily temperature is 30°C and nighttime temperatures can drop to approximately 14°C.

The arrival of the rains trigger a dispersal of game from the Chobe River area but the warm, rainy December to March summer months are the best time to visit Chobe for bird watching, the impala birthing season (great for predators!) and to see the Savute zebra migration.

In Zimbabwe and Botswana, during summer (October – April), days are hot and generally sunny in the morning with possible afternoon thunderstorms. Daytime temperatures can rise to 30ºC (86 ºF) and night temperatures drop to around 14ºC (57.2 ºF) - 16ºC (60.8 ºF). The temperatures given are those for the main centers but it is considerably warmer all year round in the low-lying areas such as Kariba, Victoria Falls, and the Zambezi Valley. The rainy season runs from November to March, although the Eastern Highlands are damp for most of the year.

What to Bring:

Light cotton tops and cotton trousers and shorts in summer. Safari trousers and warm fleece tops for evenings and cooler days. Swimwear, a hat, sunglasses, sunscreen, comfortable walking shoes, camera, film and chargers, personal toiletries and anti-malaria prophylaxis.

Currency:

The monetary unit of South Africa is the Rand. All major credit cards are accepted at most establishments, although Visa and Mastercard are the most widely accepted cards.

In Zimbabwe, the unit of currency is the US Dollar

Credit card payments in Zimbabwe are subject to change on a daily basis. Currently, as only Visa cards are widely accepted here so we recommend that you travel with a small amount of US Dollars or SA Rand in cash, in small denominations, to pay for incidental expenses.

Electricity:

South Africa’s electrical system is 220/230 volts A/C 50 cycles. Most hotels have hair dryers and plug adaptors in the bedrooms however we recommend bringing your own travel adaptor if you are bringing electric devices. Be aware that overnight charging may not be possible where generator use restricts the availability of electricity.

Outlets in Zimbabwe require a three-pronged adapter plug with 3 round prongs

It is the smallest and most secluded of Sabi Sabi's lodges and styled to reflect the contemporary elegance that epitomizes Bush Lodge. Children under 13 years of age are not catered to at this camp.

The lodge offers six suites, all with private decks overlooking the riverbed and surrounding natural bush. The lodge itself is intimate, centered on an inviting lounge and leading to an elegant outdoor dining area. The pool area is across the riverbed and an outdoor boma is the perfect setting for indulging in the finest safari cuisine.

Each thatched suite is individually styled with a designer bed, draped mosquito nets, genuine African artefacts, wooden finishes and creative use of colors, textures and light. Luxurious en suite bathrooms feature both indoor and outdoor showers, while the heated spa bath on each secluded deck offers a delightfully decadent vantage point from which to relax and watch the bushveld and abundant wildlife.

Look for iconic African animals such as lions and elephants on game drives through Madikwe Game Reserve and enjoy a conservation experience while luxuriating at the Impodimo Game Lodge between adventures.

Note: This program begins in Johannesburg, therefore, arriving flights need to be booked into the O.R. Tambo International Airport in Johannesburg.

DAY 1

Upon arriving at Johannesburg’s O.R. Tambo International Airport, you will be met and transferred to the 54 on Bath hotel in the leafy suburb of Rosebank. After settling in and freshening up, you will have dinner at the hotel, where you will spend the evening.

DAY 2

After breakfast and check-out at the hotel, you will transfer with an English-speaking representative to the Impodimo Game Lodge, which sits on a rocky ridge within the Madikwe Game Reserve. A box lunch will be served during the drive.

Following check-in at the lodge, you will have time to relax, freshen up and enjoy afternoon tea before heading into the bush on an afternoon game drive. A skilled tracker will accompany you in the open, 4x4 vehicle to increase your chances of observing animals such as elephants, rhinos and lions. Somewhere along the way, you will pause in the bush for a sundowner.

Once you return to the lodge, dinner will be served. A ranger will escort you back to your accommodations for the evening, as there isn’t a fence around the lodge and the animals roam freely.

DAY 3

Following an early-morning wake-up, you will have the unique opportunity to join a conservation safari. In fact, a percentage of the proceeds from your purchase of this program are donated by the lodge to the Madikwe Rhino Fund. The hands-on experience involves working closely with veterinarians and the capture team. The exact nature of the experience will depend on what is needed that particular morning.

Back at the lodge, you will have time to relax, enjoy the facilities and perhaps learn the art of tracking animals in the bush with a ranger. You could also head into the Elephant Hide, a wonderfully comfortable air-conditioned room that allows you to view elephants up-close at a watering hole without being detected.

An afternoon game drive follows, during which you will explore other areas of the reserve. As during the day before, a stop will be made for sundowners in the bush.

Returning to the lodge for dinner, you will have the rest of the evening to do as you please before retiring.

DAY 4

The day will be spent much like the previous day with the exception of a morning game drive instead of another conservation experience. A second game drive follows in the afternoon, a time when the animals are just as active as they are in the morning. A tracker will accompany you to point out the animals and answer questions you may have regarding their behaviors and characteristics.

Sundowners will be served before returning to the lodge for dinner and the evening.

DAY 5

Following a leisurely breakfast, you will check-out of the lodge. If time permits, you will head into the bush on one, last morning game drive.

An English-speaking guide will then join you for the transfer to Johannesburg, during which a box lunch will be served. After arriving at the O.R. Tambo International Airport, you will fly to Cape Town International Airport, where another English-speaking guide will assist with your transfer to the cruise ship for embarkation.
