About the Safari

From $7,200 to $13,500 per Person

This journey begins in Johannesburg, where the rhythm of modern South Africa sets the tone before you fly north into the heart of wilderness. At Victoria Falls, you’ll feel the ground tremble beneath the “Smoke That Thunders,” exploring rainforest trails, sunset cruises, and the vibrant life along the Zambezi River. From there, the adventure deepens as you enter the Okavango Delta—an untouched maze of lagoons, floodplains, and islands that draws some of Africa’s most iconic wildlife. Whether drifting silently in a mokoro, tracking big game on a game drive, or listening to the night come alive around your camp, this is a safari that blends spectacle, serenity, and soul-stirring encounters at every turn.
