The itinerary starts at THE ISLANDS OF SIANKABA, a delightful lodge set on two islands in the Zambezi which are linked by a timber walkway.

The accommodation is in spacious and private tented rooms, each with a verandah overlooking the river.

White water rafting and visits to Livingstone and the Falls can be arranged but you may just prefer to relax with gentle sundown cruises, mokoro trips or wandering along the nature trails.

A scenic flight into the private Linyanti Game Reserve in northern Bostwana will take you to SELINDA CAMP.

This traditional camp boasts excellent game viewing in a very diverse area and, being outside the National Park, night drives and walking safaris are possible.

Next, you will fly south to the Moremi Game Reserve in the delta where you will stay at KWARA CAMP.  The permanent water supply guarantees excellent game viewing all year round, and game drives by day and after dark, mokoro (dugout canoe) excursions and walks are all available to you.

LA COURONNE will be your base here, set in a beautiful position in the heart of the Franschhoek district, overlooking the vineyards and across to the distant hills.

The rooms have either dark wood and light fabrics in the new wing or a more traditional country style in the original part of the house.  Al fresco lunches can be arranged at the private dam and there is plenty of walking in the area as well as trout fishing and wine tasting in the wide choice of surrounding vineyards.  

The restaurant has a colonial feel of old world luxury with an excellent French Hugenot style menu for an extra treat before you return home.
