10-Day Romantic Safari Across Southern Africa: Victoria Falls, Delta & Kalahari
The journey
About this itinerary.
This 10-day romantic safari blends the awe of Victoria Falls with the wild beauty of Botswana’s Delta and Desert. Start with two luxurious nights at Mbano Manor in Victoria Falls, including a guided tour of the falls. Continue to the Khwai region of the Okavango Delta for four nights at Feline Fields Vintage Camp, where thrilling game drives and mokoro rides await. Then soar by helicopter to Feline Fields Lodge in the Kalahari Desert for three serene nights of desert adventures and starlit dinners. With all transfers included, this journey is a seamless and unforgettable escape for couples seeking connection and wonder.
Day 1: Arrival in Victoria Falls
Your romantic escape begins with your arrival at Victoria Falls International Airport in Zimbabwe, where you’ll be warmly welcomed by our local representatives. From here, you’ll enjoy a complimentary road transfer to the elegant Mbano Manor Hotel.
Nestled in riverine forest just minutes from the falls, this luxury boutique retreat offers serenity and sophistication. Settle into your suite and enjoy a peaceful evening together, surrounded by the natural beauty of Victoria Falls.
Day 2: Guided Tour of the Falls & Leisure Time
After a leisurely breakfast, you'll embark on a guided tour of Victoria Falls—one of the Seven Natural Wonders of the World and a UNESCO World Heritage Site. As you marvel at the cascading waters and swirling mist, you'll feel the thrill of Africa’s raw power and beauty.
The rest of the day is yours to explore. Make use of Mbano Manor’s complimentary shuttle service to visit town or simply relax at the hotel. Optional activities like a sunset cruise on the Zambezi River or a visit to the vibrant craft markets can enhance your experience.
Day 3: Into the Delta: Travel to Khwai
Today, you’ll journey deeper into the wilderness. After breakfast, a road transfer will take you from Victoria Falls to Kasane International Airport. From there, you’ll board a light aircraft flight with Mack Air to the Khwai airstrip, offering your first glimpses of the Okavango Delta from above.
Your safari guide will meet you and transfer you by open vehicle to Feline Fields Vintage Camp, with game viewing en route. Nestled along the Mbudi Channel in the Khwai region, your luxury tented suite offers a perfect blend of comfort and immersion in nature.
Days 4–6: Safari Bliss in the Okavango Delta
Spend the next three days embracing the wild beauty of the Okavango Delta. Enjoy morning and afternoon game drives in search of the Big Five, glide silently through winding waterways on a mokoro (traditional dugout canoe), and join your guide on interpretive bush walks.
Between activities, relax at camp or swim in a nearby lagoon. Each evening, dine under the stars and soak in the sounds of the Delta, as romance and adventure blend seamlessly.
Day 7: Scenic Helicopter Flight to the Kalahari
This morning, take to the skies for a breathtaking one-hour scenic helicopter flight with Helicopter Horizons. Soar over the Okavango Delta's winding channels and shifting landscapes as you make your way to Feline Fields Lodge in the Kalahari Desert.
Upon arrival, check into your luxurious Pool Suite and take time to unwind in the serene desert surroundings. Whether poolside or on your private deck, the stillness of the Kalahari invites you to simply be.
Days 8–9: Desert Adventures & Romantic Moments
Your time in the Kalahari is designed for both adventure and deep connection. Ride across golden dunes on a mountain bike, play a game of tennis in the wild, or walk with San Bushmen to learn their ancient survival skills.
For a truly memorable experience, spend a night under the stars on a desert sleep-out. With every experience, you'll feel more in tune with the landscape—and each other.
Day 10 – Farewell from Maun
After a relaxed breakfast, your journey concludes with a scenic road transfer to Maun Airport for your onward travel. You'll leave with your hearts full, spirits renewed, and memories that will last a lifetime from this romantic African adventure.
