Botswana, Zimbabwe & South Africa

1 itinerary · 0 open departures · 0 missions

Botswana, Zimbabwe, and South Africa together form one of Africa's most iconic travel corridors, spanning the vast Okavango Delta, the thundering Victoria Falls, and the wildlife-rich savannahs of Kruger National Park. Botswana is celebrated for its pristine, low-density safari experiences across the Kalahari and Chobe National Park, where elephants roam in some of the largest concentrations on earth. Zimbabwe offers the drama of Victoria Falls, world-class white-water rafting on the Zambezi, and ancient ruins at Great Zimbabwe. South Africa anchors the region with its extraordinary diversity — from Cape Town's coastline and winelands to Big Five game reserves and the vibrant culture of Johannesburg.

Essential Botswana: Self-Launched Wildlife & Nature Adventure

Skip the group tour price tag and explore Botswana's extraordinary wildlife corridors independently. This self-launched itinerary follows the same route as Intrepid's Essential Botswana trip — from Johannesburg through the Khama Rhino Sanctuary, Okavango Delta, Makgadikgadi Salt Pans and Chobe National Park, finishing at Victoria Falls. You'll swap the overland truck for a combination of shared shuttles, self-drive hire (or budget safari transfers), and locally booked mokoro and game drive experiences. Most activities can be booked directly with community-run operators or via GetYourGuide/Viator, saving you significantly on the packaged tour premium. Note: all costs are approximate estimates per person and will vary by season, availability and exchange rates.

Missions

Nobody's posted a Mission for Botswana, Zimbabwe & South Africa yet — which, frankly, is an opportunity.

Wait, what's a Mission?It's not a scheduled trip with dates and a minimum group size like a Departure — it's a goal. Learn to dive, do a Muay Thai camp, live somewhere for a month and work on something, chase one very specific experience. Post it, and other people chasing the same thing find you.

Be the first to post one: "Learn a completely impractical skill from a local — fire spinning, competitive coconut opening, whatever — and become weirdly good at it."
