Itinerary

Day 1: Victoria Falls, Livingstone

We will meet you at Livingstone Airport and drive you to Waterberry Lodge, which is about 20kms from Livingstone on the banks of the Zambezi River. It's a lovely quiet spot and you have two nights here. Whilst here you can choose 2 activities per day from the followin...

Day 2: Victoria Falls, Livingstone

Enjoy another day of activities in the Victoria Falls region. Bear in mind that as well as you included activities, you could also choose to do other activities available here, such as white-water rafting, helicopter rides over the Falls or bungy jumping! At Waterberry, enjoy a peaceful setting and some great food. Full board.

Day 3: Chobe Riverfront

After breakfast we will take you over to Botswana, to Chobe Elephant Camp in the Chobe Forest area. The roughly 2-hour journey includes a short motorboat trip over to Kasane, the town adjacent to Chobe.  Your lodge is just a few miles out of Kasane in a peaceful valle...

Day 4: Chobe Riverfront

You'll be able to enjoy a game drive in the famous Chobe National Park. It is a park well known for its huge population of elephants, but that is certainly not all. There is a wide diversity of wildlife here, from antelopes such as impala and sable, to giraffes, buffa...

Day 5: Okavango Delta, Kwara Camp

This morning we will drive you to Kasane Airport where you'll take a light plane to Kwara Camp in the Okavango Delta. Kwara has an excellent position in the Delta. It is on a private concession right next to Moremi Game Reserve. The diversity of the landscape here (pe...

Day 6: Okavango Delta, Kwara Camp

Leaving your luxury safari tent this morning, we'll hope to get you close to all manner of wildlife today. The guides at Kwara also have professional spotters on all vehicles, so your chances of finding game is very high. After relaxing back at the camp during the lunchtime siesta, you'll be out again in the afternoon, and enjoying sundowners by the evening.  Full board.

Day 7: Okavango Delta, Pom Pom Camp

After one last early morning game activity and breakfast, we will transfer you to your next Delta camp by light aircraft. Pom Pom Camp is to the west of Moremi Game Reserve. Offering night and day game drives, walks and mokoro excursions, your safari adventure in Botswana's most famous area, the Okavango Delta, continues with yet more excitement.  Full board.

Day 8: Okavango Delta, Pom Pom Camp

A morning and an afternoon game activity is separated by a delicious lunch and a siesta back at camp. During the day you'll search for all the big predators and their plains game prey such as zebras, wildebeest, and antelopes. Birders might be lucky enough to spot a P...

Day 9: Nxai Pan

After your morning game activity, we'll fly you back to Nxai Pan for a change of scenery. This is a total contrast to the lush Okavango Delta, and one of the only places where you will see springbok and impala in the same place. Today you can go on a walking safari with San Bushmen, and enjoy game drives in this interesting landscape. Full board.

Day 10: Nxai Pan

Enjoy your last day on safari, and make the most of this lovely camp during the day. The wildlife you might see here varies depending on the time you visit, as it's very much a seasonal movement of game in this area. In the dry winter months, around June to November, ...

Day 11: Depart

After breakfast and your morning game activity (a walk with Bushmen and/or a game drive) we will take you back to the airstrip to catch your flight to Maun. From here you will be able to link with your onward flights.  Breakfast.

View Profile

Tribes was started in 1998  by a husband and wife team after they'd both spent years as travel guides and travel journalist. 

Twenty years on, Tribes is still a proudly independent and family-run specialist travel company. The highly professional team delight in sharing the knowledge they've built up of the places they offer.

The company works on a simple ethos …

They want you to have the very best holiday experience possible, and they try to ensure that travel is sustainable.

The company has a consistently very high feedback rating from clients, and many travellers come back to them again and again.

Since Tribes organises mainly tailor-made  (custom-made) holidays and safaris, there is no standardisation to the style or type of trips they plan.
The consultants listen to what you want, and they expertly plan what is absolutely right for you, and as close as possible to the budget you have. If you ask for something that isn't possible - they will tell you.  If they feel that the trip you're asking for could be improved - they will advise you. If they think there is a property or experience you might love - they will suggest it to you.

Planning a very special holiday starts with an honest conversation. Tribes will listen and talk and plan with you until it's exactly what you want.
