Description

Want to see and do it all in Southern Africa?

Choosing which country to visit in Southern Africa is no easy task; do you go for the traditional cultures of Zambia, Botswana's big game or Namibia's river safaris? At last help is at hand on a tour which brings you everything. During the fun-packed 26 days you will enjoy camping in the bush, volunteering on local building projects, taking a game drive, white water rafting and visiting Victoria Falls. All of this makes the tour something worth writing home about. In Southern Africa everything seems multiplied; the animals are fiercer, the jeeps are tougher, the people are friendlier and distances are bigger. Taking a tour means not having to worry about arranging travel and the expert guides mean you don't have to worry about getting eaten by the animals!

There are no minimum numbers for this tour, it is guaranteed to run.
