Namibia, Botswana, Zimbabwe & South Africa

1 itinerary · 0 open departures · 0 missions

Namibia, Botswana, Zimbabwe, and South Africa together form one of Africa's most iconic overland travel corridors, spanning vast desert landscapes, world-class wildlife reserves, and dramatic natural wonders. Namibia draws adventurers with the towering red dunes of Sossusvlei and the wildlife-rich Etosha National Park, while Botswana is renowned for the Okavango Delta — one of the largest inland deltas on Earth — and exceptional big-five safari experiences in the Chobe and Moremi reserves. Zimbabwe is home to Victoria Falls, one of the Seven Natural Wonders of the World, shared with Zambia on the Zambezi River. South Africa anchors the region with its diversity, offering everything from the Cape Winelands and Table Mountain to Kruger National Park and vibrant cities like Cape Town and Johannesburg.

Limpopo & Southern Africa Overland Adventure — Self-Launched 21-Day Version

A self-launched overland route covering the same ground as Chamaeleon's 21-day Limpopo adventure: Windhoek to Etosha, the Okavango and Caprivi Strip, Chobe and Victoria Falls, the Makgadikgadi salt pans, Mapungubwe and finally Kruger plus the Panorama Route to Johannesburg. Instead of a guided coach-and-group departure, you'll piece it together with the excellent Shuttle Africa / Intercape-style shuttle network, shared 4x4 safari transfers between Kasane and Vic Falls, self-booked game drives with local lodges via GetYourGuide, and backpacker lodges and guesthouses throughout. Budget roughly £2,400-2,900 for land costs in-country (excluding international flights), against the operator's US$7,143 pp including a Frankfurt return flight. Note the operator sells this as German-guided with minimum 2 travellers; solo travellers will be joining shared shuttles and small-group safaris rather than a private convoy. All figures are approximate backpacker/budget-traveller estimates and should be re-checked at time of booking.

Missions

Nobody's posted a Mission for Namibia, 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."
