Retrace the footsteps of early European explorers as you rediscover some of the natural wonders of Botswana and witness the mighty Victoria Falls, just as Livingstone had over 100 years before. The Northern Parks Safari offers many contrasting landscapes from the thundering waters of Vic Falls to the gentle meandering of the Chobe River and the sparse moonscapes of the Makgadikgadi Saltpans. Here you will find remote camps in pristine wilderness, bursting with wildlife, birds and insects.

Visit two contrasting areas of Chobe National Park, experiencing lush wetlands filled with elephants, hippos and crocodiles, before travelling further to the lesser visited Savute area of plains and bush, a perfect habitat for lions and antelope. Moremi in the Xakanaxa Lagoon is remote and beautiful, water and land based viewing is taken here. Travelling south to the Boteti River, the final location borders the magnificent Makgadikgadi National Park, home to the largest salt pans in the world and a landscape like no other in Africa.
