In Botswana and Zambia, nature unfolds slowly and deliberately — a land where time stretches like the Zambezi at dusk and silence is broken only by the call of the wild. This journey is for those who want to go beyond the game drive: to drift through the Okavango by mokoro, to share stories with riverside communities, to fall asleep in canvas-wrapped stillness as lions call in the distance. Over nine nights, you’ll move from river to floodplain to forest — each landscape more remote, more vivid, and more alive than the last.
9 nights across Zambia and Botswana’s rivers, deltas and wilderness reserves — including luxury camps, guided game drives, mokoro safaris and Zambezi river cruising. All international and light aircraft flights included. From €11,699 per person.
This is not your first safari — it’s the one that rewrites the rules. A journey for those drawn to the quiet pulse of true wilderness, where the world narrows to water, sky, and the sound of hooves crossing ancient floodplains.
Begin on the banks of the Zambezi, where sunsets stretch long and life flows with the river. Cruise beneath dusky skies, visit Victoria Falls and meet local communities whose stories enrich the land. Then fly into the private Shinde concession in the Okavango, where predators prowl, wild dogs hunt, and elephants cross papyrus-fringed waterways.
Finally, touch down deep in the Delta. Drift by mokoro through lily-scattered channels at golden hour. Watch herds gather on water-slicked plains. And listen, as the wild reminds you what it means to be fully present.

Mary designs with empathy, intuition and impeccable taste. Her itineraries strike the perfect balance between immersion and ease, with thoughtful touches that make all the difference — a favourite champagne on arrival, a clifftop sunset dinner, or a starlit evening in the desert.
Mokoro rides are best at golden hour — the light turns the water to glass and the silence is surreal. Bring binoculars for birdwatching in Shinde, and don’t rush the pace: the slower you move, the more you see. At Victoria Falls, step beyond the viewpoints — visiting the local villages adds depth to the drama of the falls.
