Add an ExtensionA 354-foot waterfall is awe inspiring, but it’s not even the region’s grandest revelation.
A flock of cattle egrets explodes in flight; elephants stand knee deep in shallow water, using their trunks to pull up water lilies, swish off the grit, and wind them into their mouths. Cape buffalo graze on a vast plain; somewhere a young leopard sleeps in a tree; while overhead stretches an unbroken sky. Botswana’s Okavango Delta fans out for nearly a hundred miles, creating one of Earth’s richest wildlife habitats. Tracking animals and birds on foot with your expert guide on this walking safari in Botswana, you find your place in this remarkable wilderness—where myriad rivulets, puddles, and lagoons create green abundance in the middle of the Kalahari Desert. Here once again—as on previous days’ adventures amidst Chobe’s elephant herds and the thunder of Victoria Falls—Africa’s unparalleled majesty hits you full force.
Highlights
- Follow in the footsteps of animals great and small, noting subtle signs and tracks while spotting zebra, giraffe, genets, and even tiny millipedes.
- Feel the excitement as you encounter majestic, wild elephants in Botswana’s Chobe National Park, home to Africa’s largest elephant population.
- Immerse yourself in pristine wilderness and deluxe comfort, staying at intimate, award-winning lodges and bush camps evocative of the classic African safari.
- Delight in a sundowner during an evening boat cruise, soaking in the dramatic colors of the African sunset while wildlife gathers at the river’s edge.

Country Walkers provides you with City Information that includes recommendations on what to see and do in Cape Town during your stay. Head to the Victoria & Alfred (V&A) Waterfront, South Africa’s oldest working harbor and now a lively promenade with an array of shops and restaurants. The oldest urban area in South Africa, this vibrant and diverse city was founded by the Dutch East India Company as a supply station for ships sailing eastward. Visit some of the city’s beaches, art galleries, and museums. Cultural and historic treasures are on display at the National Library, SA Museum, National Art Gallery, and Jewish Museum.
While walking during the day is generally considered safe in this area, we recommend using a taxi or Uber after dark or if venturing out alone.

At the top, you can select from a number of walking paths that provide more splendid vistas and an orientation to the city below.
After lunch, continue to explore the city on foot. Walk past the 17th-century water reservoir, the historical Grand Parade adjacent to the Castle, the old Drill Hall, City Hall, the flower market, and the impressive Standard Bank Building.
