Trip Highlights

  • Explore four very different Botswana safari destinations, each with its own specialty and perspective, and each wonderfully adept at delivering romantic indulgence
  • Complete the vacation with a five night stay on an uninhabited Indian Ocean island, the tropical bliss of the Bazaruto Archipelago offering a relaxing antidote to the safari adventure
  • Heighten the romance and sooth the senses with an itinerary specifically tailored for couples; expect hidden camps, exclusivity, and memorable touches that will linger long in the memory
  • Begin the adventure by crossing the Central Kalahari Game Reserve, a melting pot of voracious lions, nomadic herds, and mobile camps that redefine notions of seclusion
  • Stand amazed at the mirages that hang above the Magdakigadi Salt Pan, this wonderland of whiteness home to migrating zebras, playful meerkats, and the occasional desert surprise
  • Admire Southern Africa from the air with private flights and helicopter rides cruising low above the wilderness and revealing dramatic panoramas of scale
  • Cruise the waterways and explore the forests of the Okavanga Delta, nature's greatest oasis and a playground for all of Southern Africa's great mammals

South Africa, Zimbabwe, Botswana Tour Review: 10 Nights

Our first trip to southern Africa was amazing, exceeding all expectations. We saw everything we came to see, and more. The game rides were well structured and safe, the visuals were unbelievable, and taking a side trip to Victoria Falls was a great idea. The accommodations were quite luxurious, despite being considered mid-range. There was always someone there to greet us and guide us at every travel point.

Zicasso's tour operator tailored our itinerary to our wishes and was wonderful to work with. Things couldn’t have gone better.

The service before, during, and after our trip was totally "white-glove," and there were extra perks that we were surprised with each day of our trip. Zicasso's travel company listened to our goals and met and exceeded every one. We recommend them in every way and will be using them in the future!

The Zicasso tour operators did an exceptional job from start to finish. I would highly recommend this company. Plus, they were in my time zone, making communication much easier. Our agent always responded within 24 hours and when I had to contact him while in Africa, he responded within the half hour. Every aspect of our trip that was planned for us was exceptional and beyond my expectations.
