Botswana Bunch itinerary

Curious to find out where we are going? Take a look at our itinerary:

The above is part one of the trip and takes us from Johannesburg to Gaborone where we will go on the original "Mma Ramotswe" tour. We will discover all the places that feature in the No 1 Ladies Detective Agency novels by Alexander McCall Smith. After having spent two days discovering Gaborone we travel north and visit the Khama Rhino Sanctuary, a wildlife project dedicated to preserving the endangered white and black rhino. We spend one night there and then travel on to the Central Kalahari Desert, which we will discover during two days.

The journey north continues as we travel to the Moremi Game Reserve, where we hope to see lots of wildlife during our safaris overland, on foot or by boat. After having spent two nights there, the safari continues further north in the well-known Chobe National Park. We are going to one of the more remote districts of this huge park and are staying at the Savute Safari Lodge.

From there we are taking a flight to travel to the magnificent Victoria Falls. It will be a quick visit as we fly from the nearby airport to Cape Town in the evening for the second leg of our adventure.

The last week of our trip will be spent exploring South Africa's Western Cape. We hope the weather will be good to allow us to go up Table Mountain and travel along some of the beautiful coastal routes. We plan to stop by Hermanus and spot some whales, Stellenbosch and Frenchhoek for some wine tasting and go down to the southern most tip of the African continent, Cape Point. Of course we will take time to explore Cape Town and travel to Robben Island to visit the prison where Nelson Mandela was held for almost 30 years.

Sounds like fun, doesn't it? I hope you will join us - the Botswana Bunch - virtually to share in our excitement.
