Victoria Falls & Chobe Delta Fly-In Safari

Cross from Victoria Falls into Chobe, then fly by light aircraft into the Okavango Delta, departing from Maun.

The most classic combination for first-time visitors to Southern Africa: two nights each at the falls, the riverfront elephant herds, and the delta, keeping a balanced pace. Skip the self-drive hassle and connect seamlessly via transfers and light aircraft, avoiding rough sand roads. The trade-off is that the lodges are mostly all-inclusive and must be booked early. This route covers only the Zimbabwean side of the falls; add an extra day if you wish to visit the Zambian side.

Mokoro and boat safaris depend on seasonal water levels and may be canceled during low water periods.
