17 NIGHT GREAT AFRICAN SAFARI

To experience an authentic African Safari, travel to Zimbabwe, Zambia, or Botswana, these countries are teeming with the wilderness and natural beauty that Africa is known for, and their inhabitants are some of the friendliest people you'll ever meet.

Begin in Botswana and end in Zambia's breathtaking Victoria Falls, where you may discover a world of contrasts and parallels.

2 Nights KANGA CAMP / ZIMBABWE

Camp Kanga is unique compared to other riverside camps in Mana Pools National Park. Our six tented chalets are on a wooden platform, giving visitors the opportunity to experience nature and wilderness while enjoying a water view. The key feature is using a raised deck on the river's edge. You may reenergize by sitting in this armchair and appreciating how well it suits you.

Enjoy the shade of a mahogany tree or cool off in the splash pool. The only permanent water source within a 15-kilometer radius is Kanga Pan in Mana Pools, which is full of animals, especially during the dry season.

2 Nights ZAMBEZI EXPEDITIONS / ZIMBABWE

The next stop is Zambezi Expeditions, a motorized camping site. It's a beautiful and luxurious camp in Zimbabwe. On the banks of the massive Zambezi River, go on an excursion with your group aboard a walking safari and canoeing. At Mana Pools, you can experience activities like fishing and game drives. You'll be able to see the incredible views of the Zambezi River and its residents, which include leopards, cape hunting dogs, large herds of elephants, resident lion prides, and hyena.

Canoeing on the Zambezi River is a lovely pastime for tourists looking to see the famed tiger fish, crocodiles, and hippos while exploring Zambezi Expeditions. Another major draw of Zambezi Expeditions is its location. It's located near Kanga Camp and Mana Pools National Park, which are both UNESCO World Heritage Sites. We recommend you to stay at least a couple of days so that you can fully explore the park and experience all that Zambezi Expeditions has to offer.

2 Nights BUMI HILLS SAFARI LODGE / ZIMBABWE

All couples may enjoy a meal under the sunshine by smelling the wind.

Best Time to Visit

Visiting Botswana at its most pleasant is during the dry season between May to October; this time of year you can expect balmy days ranging from 22°C to 35°C and brisk evenings. During this optimal time, the Okavango Delta's waters reach their peak levels, generating the picturesque waterways and canals that make Botswana so renowned.

Embrace the occasional showers and experience a unique travel adventure during the green season (November to April)! Tourist numbers and prices are at a reduced amount, the scenery is teeming with lush vegetation, and wildlife have welcomed their offspring.

Great experience - professional yet personal, would highly recommend

I came to Zambia for work and wanted to extend with a few extra days. With a bit short notice and for a holiday weekend Ntanda Ventures and Sonja helped me book a bush break in South Luangwa. Communication was easy and I really enjoyed the professional/knowledgeable but personal connection. My preferences were heard, all my questions answered and we worked together on finding a good fit. I was travelling alone and Sonja quickly understood what I was looking for and made suggestions based on local knowledge and experience, exactly what I needed! Due to unforeseen weather changes we had to make some changes to the plan and Sonja made sure to check with me what I would prefer and be okay with, and checked in with me along the way - everything was taken care of so I only had to enjoy the trip. It was a last minute plan, but she made it very easy and enjoyable for me - if I were to come back I would surely reach out and book through them again.
