Departing October 2021 we will be offering our first 11 day guided luxury safari to Botswana’s magical wildlife and nature paradise as well as to Victoria Falls in Zimbabwe. We will start our journey at Elephant Valley Lodge on the banks of the Chobe River then fly in to Kadizora a luxury tented camp in the Okavango Delta followed by two nights at Saguni Lodge in the Moremi Reserve in the northern Okavango Delta. We will then transfer to Victoria Falls in Zimbabwe for 2 nights. The Okavango Delta is created by the Kavango River which flows from Angola into the Kalahari Desert creating a 15 000 Square kilometer wetland in the middle of this harsh landscape. This unique ecosystem creates a habitat that provides refuge to large concentrations of game. We have 8 places for this exclusive safari adventure led by Simon Stanford who has travelled extensively in Botswana and neighbouring Namibia and Zimbabwe over the past 3 decades and has filmed for many different nature films including, SVT:s Mitt i naturen, National Geographic, BBC and many others. He has also filmed in the area with Lasse Berg to produce a documentary based on his book, "Gryning över Kalahari"
Simon will gladly share his insight and give tips about nature photography.
