South Africa, Zimbabwe & Botswana

1 itinerary · 0 open departures · 0 missions

South Africa, Zimbabwe, and Botswana together form one of Africa's most diverse and rewarding travel corridors, spanning the southern tip of the continent through landlocked savanna heartlands. South Africa draws visitors with its iconic Cape Town coastline, the Winelands, Kruger National Park, and a rich cultural tapestry shaped by its complex history. Zimbabwe is home to Victoria Falls — one of the world's largest waterfalls — as well as ancient ruins at Great Zimbabwe and superb wildlife in Hwange National Park. Botswana is renowned for the vast Okavango Delta, the Chobe River's elephant populations, and the Kalahari Desert, making the trio a classic destination for safari lovers, adventure travellers, and culture seekers alike.

Self-Launched Southern Africa Safari: Kruger, Victoria Falls, Hwange & Chobe

A self-launched version of G Adventures' 14-day Southern Africa safari (trip DSJB), rebuilt using public transport, hostel/guesthouse stays, and self-bookable safari drives. Start with a night in Johannesburg, then take the budget-friendly City Bug/Greyhound-style coach or the shuttle van route to the Greater Kruger area for four nights of Big Five game drives in an open 4x4. Loop back through Chimp Eden near Nelspruit, fly Johannesburg–Victoria Falls on a low-cost carrier, then use shared shuttles and overland buses to link Victoria Falls, Hwange and Chobe — finishing with a sunset cruise on the Chobe River. Everything here is approximate and bookable independently.

Missions

Nobody's posted a Mission for South Africa, Zimbabwe & Botswana 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: "Eat the strangest thing on the menu every single day for a week and document the regret."
