DESTINATIONS

3 NIGHTS

MALA MALA GAME RESERVE

Strategically positioned between the Kruger National Park and the Sabi Sand Reserve, Mala Mala game reserve shares a 12-mile unfenced boundary with the Kruger National Park as well as 13 miles of Sand River frontage. It is all about location as the Sand River offers the opportunity for unrivaled game viewing as the lifeblood of the reserve.

3 NIGHTS

VICTORIA FALLS

ZAMBIA

Livingstone sits on the Zambezi River just a few miles from the awe-inspiring UNESCO World Heritage site of Victoria Falls, fondly known as the “Smoke that thunders” by the locals. Known as the adventure capital, Livingstone offers many adrenalin and action-based activities but is also a destination that encourages you to take time out of your daily life for relaxation and rejuvenation.

3 NIGHTS

OKAVANGO DELTA

BOTSWANA

A labyrinth of lagoons and meandering channels and islands teeming with wildlife, Botswana’s Okavango Delta is truly nature’s masterpiece. A world Heritage site, this vast wetland offers visitors an insight into the mystery of an inland delta that never reaches the sea. Lying at the heart of Botswana’s arid Kalahari desert, the delta supports an abundance of wildlife. Home to huge numbers of plains animals including the unusual antelope Puku, Sitatunga and Red Lechwe. Lion, cheetah, leopard and African wild dog share the floodplains with large herds of elephants and buffalo.

Journey Highlights

Three countries, three distinct destinations, and two world heritage sites, this journey is the quintessential highlight reel of Southern Africa. A unique blend of wildlife activities, adrenaline-fueled adventures, and spectacular sights makes this itinerary a treasure trove of memories waiting to be made.

Mala Mala Game Drives

In search of the Big 5

Famed for its consistent Big 5 game viewing, Mala Mala offers some of the best game viewing this side of the equator. As the sun rises above the horizon, head out into the bush with your ranger in search of not only the Big 5 but also cheetah & the Cape hunting dog. The rangers are all expertly trained and with 55 years of game viewing experience, Mala Mala has unequaled insight on how to manage game sightings with respect to conservation, allowing the animals to remain relaxed and untamed in their natural habitat.

Mala Mala Nature Walks

Learn how to track game

Head out on foot accompanied by your trained ranger in search of all that the bush hides. Discover all that you may miss on a game drive, learn the art of reading animal tracks, and uncover the smaller creatures that are often unseen. A nature walk will slowly reveal the mysteries of the wild.

Zambezi River Sunset Cruise

Cocktails with the Captain

Relax and enjoy the spectacular beauty of the Zambezi River as the sun sets over the horizons. In the distance, the “smoke that thunders” can be seen and heard as a variety of wildlife make their way to the river for their last drink of the day. Hippos, crocodiles, and elephants as well as many bird species can be witnessed and photographed. Revel in stories from the Captain as you sip on cocktails in the Captain's cabin.

Guided Tour of the Falls

Nature’s Masterpiece

No photograph can prepare you for your first sighting of Victoria Falls. Your senses will be in overdrive as you walk through the rainforest to witness the sheer beauty of the largest expanse of falling water in the world. The pristine rain forest is sustained year-round by the spray created by the thundering falls. There are plant species here that are rarely seen elsewhere in Zambia. As one of the 7 Natural Wonders of the world, the falls spans just over a mile and is split between Zambia and Zimbabwe and can be seen from both countries.

Elephant Cafe

Speedboats, elephants & fine dining

An elegant fine dining restaurant situated on the banks of the Zambezi river combines three incredible experiences into one. A speedboat trip up the Zambezi river has you navigating the rapids as you absorb the beauty of the river. On arrival at Elephant Cafe, you are greeted by the resident herd of orphaned hand-reared elephants. You have the opportunity to meet the herd, learn their stories and enjoy a once in a lifetime close encounter experience with these gentle giants before you are welcomed into the Elephant Cafe to indulge in the gastronomic delights of fresh locally sourced ingredients and wild edibles. An experience like no other!

Falls Helicopter Flight

Flight of Angels

David Livingstone famously wrote on seeing the falls for the first time, “Scenes so lovely must have been gazed upon by angels in their flight”. And now 165 years later you can experience the flight of angels in a scenic helicopter flight over the spectacular Victoria Falls, the only way to truly experience the magnificence that is the Victoria Falls.

Canoe Safari

The call of a Fish Eagle

One of the best ways to experience the Zambezi river and to appreciate its beauty is by paddling slowly downstream. Breathe in the sounds and scents of the river, the grunting of a hippo, or the shrill call of a fish eagle as you wind your way through the waterways surrounding the islands.

Microlight Flight

A magnificent flying experience

The exhilarating microlight flight over the falls offers breathtaking views of the gorge that the Zambezi River has carved into the surrounding landscape over many thousands of years. This is an experience not to be missed. You may even feel like you have been kissed by an angel as you fly through the ‘smoke’ of the Falls.

Quad Bike Trails

The thrill of the trail

Discover the spectacular landscapes and wildlife surrounding Livingstone & Batoka Gorge on all-terrain quad bikes in the company of a qualified guide. Traverse across bumps, bends, and downhill but the ultimate thrill is the chance to encounter game along the way. You have the opportunity to choose to visit a local village instead of Batoka gorge and this will allow you to experience an exhilarating ride from Mukuni to Machenja Village over a dune, through dense bush, and then onto Sichilobe Village for a refreshing drink before heading back.

Horse Back Trails

Explore magnificent landscapes and scenic bushveld

This trail boasts incredible views over Victoria Falls. Roam the trails leading through the National Park, and as you wind your way through the scenic bushveld your senses will be heightened by the sights and sounds of the prolific birdlife. A chance encounter with the resident wildlife will leave you exhilarated before you make your way back to the stables for a delicious lunch in the fragrant herb garden.

White Water Rafting

In search of the NyamiNyami

Not for the faint of heart, this heart thudding adrenaline-pumping experience boasts the world’s best and most exciting one-day white water rafting in the world. With 24 exhilarating rapids in a 14 mile stretch of river, this is sure to be an epic experience. Call on NyamiNyami, the Zambezi river god, for safe passage as the river carries you downstream.
**Please note that this activity does require a certain level of fitness as you hike both into and out of the gorge.

Zipline, Gorge Swing, Flying Fox

High wire thrills

Livingstone offers some of the best adrenaline-fueled activities and you will be hard-pressed to choose only one! The longest zipline in the world is situated in Batoka Gorge, imagine the rush of traveling at 65 miles per hour across a gorge, 390 feet above the beauty of the Zambezi River below. Although you may prefer a running jump into thin air above the ravine, flying horizontally across the Zambezi below in what is known as The Flying Fox. A thrilling and mind-blowing experience has to be the gorge swing. Imagine a giant swing set up over the Zambezi river, 410 feet above the water with a 230-foot free fall before you begin swinging.

safari-game-drive-premier-africa-qorokwa

Qorokwe Game Drives

Where the buffalo broke through the bush into the water

The Qorokwe Concession comprises various ecosystems and with year-round water, offers excellent game viewing opportunities. The area is known for its big predators like lion, leopard, cheetah, and hyena. But it’s also a well-known birders paradise and of course, a safari in the Delta is synonymous with elephant sightings. Accompanied by knowledgeable rangers, this camp has all the ingredients for a first-rate safari

Qorokwe Night Drives

Sundowners, Spotlights & nocturnal creatures

Set out on a game drive as the last light leaves the afternoon sky. Scan the bush for nocturnal mammals such as civets, genets, bushbabies, and owls. Your ranger will use spotlights to enable you to find those animals that escaped detection earlier in the day. Stop for a sundowner as the bush becomes quiet and your senses become tuned to every movement.

Qorokwe Nature Walks

Take a walk on the Wildside

Head out on foot to explore the trails left by centuries of animals as they wind their way through the bush to the water’s edge. A walking safari with skilled guides offers you the opportunity to come across big game as well as observing the small creatures that you may have missed from the game vehicle.

qorokwe-mokoro-water-safari-premier-africa

Qorokwe Boating or Mokoro

Explore the water channels

Explore the waterways and deep channels as you embark on a journey by boat through the delta. Be on the lookout for the red lechwe, water birds, mud-encrusted buffalo, and elephants. You may choose to enjoy a mokoro excursion instead, traversing the waterways in a traditional dugout canoe.

EXPLORE MAGICAL BOTSWANA

Through your lens

With an infinite number of exciting adventures to choose from, this journey delivers countless opportunities to capture gripping moments on film. A photographer’s paradise, a thrill seekers utopia and a conservationist’s dream, this journey ticks all the boxes for an epic adventure.
