The 14 Day Four Rivers Safari follows one of southern Africa’s most rewarding wildlife routes. First, travel from Namibia’s central savanna to Etosha, then continue through the Kavango and Zambezi regions towards Botswana’s Chobe River and magnificent Victoria Falls. Consequently, along the way, the journey connects the Okavango, Kwando, Chobe and Zambezi river systems.
Meanwhile, this small-group guided safari is rich in contrast. Then, you will search for wildlife in Etosha National Park, meet communities in north-eastern Namibia, explore the Okavango Panhandle and cruise waterways alive with birds and animals. Finally, enjoy Chobe’s renowned riverfront before crossing into Zimbabwe.
In addition, with a minimum of four and a maximum of seven travellers, the 14 Day Four Rivers Safari offers an intimate experience and plenty of personal attention. Moreover, private departures can also be arranged for four or more guests.
Above all, the route rewards curious travellers. In addition, every region adds a fresh perspective. Meanwhile, the small group keeps the experience personal. Ultimately, the changing scenery makes every day feel different.

Comfortable safari stays
For example, the itinerary uses comfortable lodges and camps chosen for their location, atmosphere and access to wildlife experiences. However, final properties are subject to availability, and a comparable alternative may be used when necessary.
First, after leaving Windhoek, the route includes a private reserve in central Namibia, Etosha, Bushmanland and the Kavango and Zambezi regions. For instance, possible stays along the way include Roy’s Rest Camp, Hakusembe River Lodge, Namushasha River Lodge or Namushasha River Villa.
Further east, near the Chobe and Zambezi waterways, therefore, suitable options may include Chobe River Camp, Zambezi Mubala Camp or Zambezi Mubala Lodge. Finally, the final night is spent in Victoria Falls, close to the town’s attractions and activities.
Meals during the safari
Generally, meals are included where shown in the daily schedule. Therefore, most safari days include breakfast, lunch and dinner. Meanwhile, on travel days, the precise meal arrangement depends on departure times and the lodge programme.
However, day 13 includes breakfast, while lunch and dinner in Victoria Falls are for your own account. As a result, this gives you the freedom to choose from the town’s many restaurants. In addition, drinks beyond the supplied mineral water, snacks and meals not listed in the itinerary are excluded.
In addition, please tell us about dietary requirements before booking. Then, we will pass them to the relevant properties, although however, highly specialised items may not always be available in remote areas.
Wildlife on land and water
First, your safari combines guided drives with boat-based viewing. For example, in Etosha, explore productive roads and wildlife waterholes. Meanwhile, lush river corridors create a striking contrast with Namibia’s drier landscapes. Boat trips on the Okavango, Kwando and Chobe offer a quiet way to watch elephants, hippos, crocodiles and prolific birdlife.
Culture and ancient landscapes
In addition, a Bushmanland cultural experience and a village visit also introduce the living traditions of the region. Afterwards, you will also travel to Tsodilo Hills, therefore, a remarkable cultural landscape known for its rock art, archaeology and spiritual importance.
Chobe and Victoria Falls
Finally, in Botswana, game drives and a river cruise consequently reveal the wildlife-rich Chobe riverfront. Next, the tour then continues by road to Victoria Falls. Finally, your final afternoon is available for the falls and optional activities, so you can end the journey at your own pace.
