Begin your 8 night stay in Botswana at our brand new Atzaro Camp in the Okavango Delta. Surrounded by lush palm islands and vibrant delta vegetation, Atzaro is considered to be an eco-friendly oasis, nestled within the majestic Okavango Delta. The world’s biggest wetland.

End your trip at Lolebezi, set in the breath-taking, untouched wilds of the Lower Zambezi National Park in Zambia. The lodge has been designed to make the most of the one kilometre of private river frontage with fishing, sundowners, and canoeing a must-do.
