Some places are magical with the people and spaces you visit. Africa holds some of the worlds most dramatic locals where you can have the best time of your.  Having adventures in Botswana and Zimbabwe is on so many bucket lists and here’s a plan for taking it off your bucket list and making it happen.

Take a listen to the show where I act as your safari guide taking you from the fascinating ecosystem of Botswana’s Okavango Delta to Zimbabwe’s Victoria Falls. It’s a spectacular journey and you’ll hear all about it.

On the show I share my favorite adventures in Botswana and Zimbabwe however, I can say my most memorable and the one which took me completely out of my comfort zone was staying in the wild camp or bush camp as it is also called. Before I go into it all, let me tell you a bit about Botswana and the Okavango Delta.

The Okavango River is located 995mi from the highlands of Angola where it’s water originates. It reaches the Kalahari and spreads into a large swamp where the water feeds  the plant life, evaporates, and stays there, never reaching the sea. Some refer to the Okavango Delta, as a swamp however, I prefer delta. It is one of the largest inland deltas on Earth and a true natural wonder and should be on everyone’s bucket list. It is an African jewel. The area is  home to a vast array of wildlife – elephants, hippos, lions, zebra and more along with a long list of birds.

Adventures in Botswana and Zimbabwe are not complete without maneuvering through the waters and through the delta’s think, tall water grasses. You’re gliding through in Mokoro dugout canoes poled by local villagers who have grown up here. The highlight is reaching your camping site where our local guides jump in right away to preparing the camp.  The polers are multi-talented and get our camp prepared with canvas dome tents with camp stretchers, mattresses, sleeping bags and pillows all provided to make bush camping comfortable. In the delta, you get to experience African wilderness at its fullest – day time walking safaris and night time around a campfire admiring the Milky Way and sky with a billion twinkling stars.

There so much more. Take a listen to the show by clicking the link below. I share the whole experience and how you can too. You can do it all with Exodus Travels where they’ll give you the choice of all camping or camping and lodging.  Visit their website – Exodus Travels.
