Today depart for Masebe Nature Reserve. Masebe Nature Reserve forms part of the north-eastern side of the Waterberg escarpment with streams of water freely flowing from the mountain to form a myriad waterfalls during the rainy season. What makes Masebe Nature Reserve interesting is the variety of rock formation that combine with vegetation and rivers to make it especially beautiful. The scenery is one of the major reasons people visit Masebe.
Accommodation: Big Fig Oasis or similar
Day 5: Moremi Gorge
Meals included: Breakfast, Lunch and Dinner
This morning we cross the border and travel towards Goo Moremi Gorge. Located near Palapye, the drive will take approximately 4 hours. At Goo Moremi Gorge, enjoy a guided hike through this beautiful National heritage site where perennial streams have carved deep gorges into the hills. Along our hike, we’ll stop at beautiful waterfalls cascading into deep pools surrounded by lush vegetation. The gorges are home to many birds that feed on fish and small crabs in the pools and are breeding grounds for the endangered Cape vulture. Baboons and rock rabbits live on the cliffs above the gorge, and though very elusive, leopards, hyenas and kudu can also be found here.
Included Activities
- Goo Moremi Gorge – Three Waterfall Hike
Accommodation: Goo-Moremi Gorge or similar
Day 6: Nata
Meals included: Breakfast, Lunch and Dinner
Journey from Palapye to Nata (approximately 6 hours). Your campsite is situated on the edge of the amazing Makgadikgadi Salt Pans, covering some 12,000 square kilometres, this is one of the largest salt flats in the world. On arrival, take a 3-hour excursion in an open vehicle to explore these seemingly endless plains in the Nata Bird Sanctuary. Surrounded by the Kalahari Desert, the pans are naturally dry and salty for a large part of the year. During this time the arid landscape has an eerie feel to it as heat mirages disorientate the senses. Then, after the rains hit, it become a grassy refuge for migratory birds and animals. Tonight, enjoy a good nights rest in a comfortable lodge.
Included Activities
- Nata – 4×4 Pan Excursion
Accommodation: Nata Lodge or similar
Day 7: Victoria Falls
Meals included: Breakfast
Travel on to Victoria Falls (approximately 4 hours), crossing the border into Zimbabwe in time to have lunch on the banks of the Zambezi. Continue to your permanent tent, set within a large rest camp. After settling in, you may want to set out on a highly recommended optional trip to visit Victoria Falls. Spanning about a mile wide and falling 108 metres into a narrow gorge below, the spray from the falls can sometimes be seen from kilometres away. In the dry season, the view of the falls is unobstructed by spray and it’s possible to see little islets in the river below.
Otherwise, a range of other activities are available through the local activity centre. After visiting the falls or enjoying a relaxing afternoon, meet up with your group for an included sunset cruise to say cheers to the journey so far.
