Day 1 Livingstone/ Victoria Falls/ Chobe National Park
A visit to the thundering Victoria Falls is an experience not to be missed. At the Chobe, take safari drives to uncover herds of elephants or glide down the river to watch an African sunset.
Days 2-5 Maun/ Okavango Delta
Head into the enormous tangle of channels that make up the Okavango Delta. Explore the tranquil floodplains on foot or in a traditional dugout canoe, keeping a lookout for wildlife. Camp on a remote island and let the sounds of the African bush lull you to sleep.
Day 6 Khama Rhino Sanctuary
Try spotting the white rhinos that seek refuge within the Khama Rhino Sanctuary among tawny hartebeest, lithe leopards and scruffy ostriches. The Khama is a community-based wildlife project.
Day 7 Johannesburg
Journey to frenetic Johannesburg where the adventure comes to an end.

The Trip Notes provide you with detailed information about your trip.
This is where you will find everything you need to know... from what's included to suggestions about what to take. This is also where you will find the most up-to-date itinerary and any late changes.
The Trip Notes provide you with a detailed outline of your trip itinerary, and important information like where to meet your group, what to pack, what's included, estimates of spending money requirements and much more. They make great reading.
These documents have been prepared by Intrepid staff to give you a brief introduction to the places you are visiting. We think it's important to understand the culture you are visiting, and the expectations of their society.
Intrepid is committed to a style of travel that is environmentally, culturally and socially responsible - we call this 'Responsible Travel'. Download this document and visit the About Intrepid section of this site for more information about how to be a Responsible Traveller.
Please also read our safety guidelines for further information on the operational safety standards you can expect on every Intrepid trip.
On 07 June the Australian Government issued an updated travel warning for East Timor strongly advising against travel to East Timor because of the extremely dangerous security situation. Australians in the country are advised to leave. The Travel Warning remains at Category 5 - Do Not Travel.
On Tuesday 07 June we have taken the decision to cancel the remainder of our East Timor trips scheduled to depart in 2006. All travellers will be notified and given the opportunity to transfer to another trip or obtain a full refund (land content only). We very much regret having to take this action and our thoughts and sympathies are with the people of East Timor during this troubled time.
We are confident of being able to resume our normal schedule of trips to East Timor in 2007 and hope that those travellers who have had to cancel their plans this year will travel with us to East Timor in 2007.
For other safety updates, please see our general safety updates page.
Every day, hundreds of happy people return from Intrepid trips, and their comments are here for you to read. We do not screen the feedback on this site, all comments are posted here as they were written (unless they used inappropriate language).
A great trip with wonderful sights of South Africa, Botswana and Zambia

Definitely the best holiday I've been on! Would definitely go with Intrepid again.
Ben Turner
The best way that I can answer this is would I suggest this trip for my friends-definently not. Basically you are in a mad dash from one campsite to the next. You ride in a van for 8 to 10 hours a day and some parts of the tour were skipped because we were always running late. The food left quite a bit to be desired for the money you pay.It could have been so much better with just a little tweaking but the trip is really a 16 day trip compressed to 14. Camping in the Delta was the best part of the trip, the only interaction with local people
