Itinerary in detail
Every Jacada trip is tailored to your personal preferences and interests. Below you’ll find a sample itinerary to inspire your own custom-designed journey.
Days 1-4
Three days on the Zambezi River
The Zambezi River flows placidly to the brink of a wide basalt lip before taking a frothy, 100 metre plunge at Victoria Falls into the Batoka Gorge below. This thunderous demonstration of nature’s mighty power represents the world’s largest sheet of falling water and will impress the whole family. The river then continues its course as white water rapids, providing exhilarating opportunities for family adventure activities. Spend your time on the Zambian side of the Zambezi River exploring this spectacular waterway and making the most of the area’s unique safari opportunities, visiting the Victoria Falls and enjoying the many activities that the river affords.
Tour Victoria Falls and embark on a Zambezi River Cruise
Accompanied by your guide, you’ll discover the mighty Victoria Falls. Learn all about how the falls were formed and what local customs and traditions surround them. You’ll also get to enjoy a leisurely cruise down the Zambezi River.
Days 4-6
Two days in Chobe National Park
At this time of year, Chobe National Park is a perfect safari choice as it’s drier than many other of the surrounding areas. Spend your days discovering the famous herds of elephant and buffalo and other fantastic wildlife that feed by the glistening river in Chobe National Park. Get involved with game activities across the floodplains, or take a river cruise and let the kids get a closer look of animals such as hippos and crocodiles.
4x4 game drive in Chobe National Park
Set off on a specially equipped 4×4 vehicle on safari around Chobe National Park. You’ll have the opportunity to see an abundance of wildlife and in particular the huge herds of elephants for which the park is well known. There are estimated to be more than 120,000 elephants in the park, representing the largest surviving elephant population in the world. The park is also home to large herds of buffalo and Burchell’s zebra as well as high densities of predators such as a lions, leopards, cheetah and spotted hyena.
Days 6-9
Three days exploring the Okavango Delta
Experience the lush, green beauty of the Okavango Delta and the magnificent wildlife that live here in the Green Season. This is a unique opportunity for both water-based safaris by ‘mokoro’ – a traditional dug-out canoe – and boat and land-based big game drives taking place in the mornings and evenings. Your expert guide will be able to answer any questions you may have regarding the environment and wildlife as you are privately driven across the Delta. Depending on which lodge you choose to stay at there will be a number of different activities that you can choose from to immerse yourself in this incredibly diverse, natural environment.
Where you could stay
Explore the Okavango Delta
On land
On water
4x4 game drive in Okavango Delta
The Okavango River brings large herds of elephant and other antelope species to the delta followed by numerous predators such as the majestic black maned Kalahari lions and elusive Wild African dogs. Your expert guide will help you to spot these animals with a guided 4×4 safari.
Okavango Delta Water-based safari
The flooding of the Okavango Delta brings water from thousands of miles upstream on the Okavango river, arriving into Botswana in the dry season. Huge herds of animals flock to take advantage of the ready supply of water and nutrients, and their predators follow. You’ll have the opportunity to witness this spectacle as you ride through the reeds as the sun goes down in a ‘mokoro’ – a traditional dug-out canoe – or in a speed boat. Your Okavango-born guide and poler will help you to spot frogs, hippo, crocodile, the elusive sitatunga and colourful waterbirds as well as a host of raptors and colourful kingfishers.
