SAFARI TRIP INFORMATION

African safari trip from Johannesburg to Victoria Falls, through Botswana, visiting the most beautiful spots for best wildlife viewing. Lion, elephant, hippo, antelope, impala, leopard, buffalo, hyaena... the list is long and includes also birds, as well as nice trees, like the giant baobab. The itinerary starts and finishes in Johannesburg, South Africa, and goes through Magkadigkadi Pans, Maun, Okavango delta, Chobe National Park, Moremi reserve, Savute and Victoria Falls. This safari tour was booked via Jenmansafaris and actually operated by Drifters using a small truck for game drivers in Africa, for about 15 people. The truck's sides are modified to maximize the visibility and, in most cases, it's possible to climb on the roof, to observe the landscape and the animals from top, in full comfort and safety. I consider this much better than traditional off-road cars and jeep. Overnights mainly in tents, or small guesthouses where available. In most cases, the tents where built each night in a different place and we have camped often in the middle of "nothing".
