Victoria Falls to South Africa Overland Safari & Participation Camping

Spend eight days on a once-in-a-lifetime-wildlife tour through Southern Africa that really can’t be topped. Visit Zimbabwe’s Matobo National Park, track animals on foot and view resident wildlife from an open-vehicle. Later, search for the “big five” in South Africa’s Kruger National Park and experience the unique traditions of the local people. This is authentic Africa right before your very eyes.
