Itinerary
24 Day Africa Trip - Designed & Guided
by Leslie Edwin
NOTE FROM OUR GUIDE: Itinerary
changes may occur but will not impact the quality of the tour.
Africa is an amazing tourist area but a challenging one organizationally
where the ability to be flexible is key. Things can go a bit
awry now and then, but I believe that with fun, humor and
your sense of being on holiday adventure we’ll have a brilliant
time. Best regards, Leslie

Cape Town |

famous Mala Mala Game Reserve. This Game Reserve is the
first commercial Safari Lodge in the Sabi Sand private
game reserve. Guests have exclusive access to 45,000
acres of Sabi sand, by far the largest block. It includes
22 miles of sand frontage, a definite plus for wildlife
viewing. Certainly why, there is nowhere else in Southern
Africa where you are most likely to have close encounters
with the Big 5. (Especially in October, when the bush
thins out).
- We will spend 4 incredible nights here.

- Fly to Botswana for 4 nights. Continue
by light aircraft to your camp in the heart of the Okavango
Delta. The Okavango Delta is without doubt the crown
of African Game viewing – especially at this time
of year.
- A mix of huge savannah, flood plains forests
and islands. It is fed by the Okavango River. The waters
of this river are so pure, you can drink straight out
of the river!
- A unique Eco System found nowhere else on earth. It
is the uniqueness and remoteness of this area, that make
it one of Africa’s last paradises. Huge concentrations
of animals roam free and unbound by fences in an area
in excess of 15 thousand square miles.

sent up by the falls is truly memorable.
